The Black People Who Fled Slavery Had a Lot to Teach Their Northern Allies
Black-led vigilance committees not only protected and aided fugitives but also learned from the formerly enslaved as they built a movement pedagogy together.
"An organized urban wing of the [Underground] railroad called vigilance committees focused on protecting, supporting, and learning from fugitives."

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

This obsession with looking βseriousβ to people who donβt share your values is political rot. We donβt need to be palatable. We need to be useful. We need ideas that meet people where they areβin the ruins of neoliberal privatization, surrounded by carceral infrastructureβ& help them fight like hell

I'd suggest donating at minimum one working hour of your wages to supporting reproductive justice (so, if you make 40k, donating $19 or so), but $500 is one average grant. you can also venmo me at vnmoanna and I can donate it for you! fund.nnaf.org/annacaf

it can feel overwhelming to figure out where to plug into the repro justice movement, especially with so many large NFPs funneling money ineffectively. every dollar for CAF goes directly towards getting people abortion care.

since the fall of roe, accessing reproductive health services has required much more support and demand has ballooned. while many funds saw increased funding directly after roe fell, that has dried up since. your donation makes a huge difference. fund.nnaf.org/annacaf

βAbortion debtβ is probably not a phrase you have heard. But post-Dobbs, itβs becoming more of a reality. And itβs only going to get worse.
Thatβs why @debtcollective.bsky.social is collaborating with frontline abortion funds and providers to eliminate and prevent $50,000 in abortion debt. π§΅

AI landlord screening tool will stop scoring low-income tenants after discrimination suit
SafeRent will also pay around $2.3 million.
βThe money collected as part of the settlement will go to Massachusetts-based rental applicants who used housing vouchers and werenβt able to secure housing due to SafeRentβs tenant score.β
