yes hello!

They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones." -John Steinbeck

citrus greening, a viral disease of citrus, it's making a dent in new supply. but should not be that much. price gouging.

Mutual Aid, the Commons, and the Revolutionary Abolition of Capitalism To get the most out of mutual aid, we ought to create participatory commons in which everyone can contribute and there is no fundamental division between organizers and beneficiaries.

Mutual Aid, the Commons, and the Revolutionary Abolition of Capitalism

crimethinc.com/Revolutionar...

At its best, mutual aid creates a contagious commons with offensive capabilities.

Revisiting the difference between mutual aid and charity, we explore how to unlock its revolutionary potential.

Spokane will open "Safer Air Centers" for people who don't have adequate filtration,which is similar to our cooling shelters for people who don't have AC during heat waves.

@resonanteye.bsky.social for your consideration

"Spokane Food Not Bombs is currently organizing. We need: -people who can set up, serve, and clean up -people who can pick up and drop off food donations -people who can help prepare and preserve food -donated, found, dived or free plates, cups, and large pots -anyone who can divert food waste or excess to the group -5 gallon food safe buckets for cleanup, extra tables (makeshift ok!) foodnotbombsspokane@gmail.com voicemail: 509-530-1077 SOLIDARITY NOT CHARITY More than a meal, a meal with a message FOOD NOT BOMBS The money spent by the world on weapons in one week is enough to feed all the people on earth for a year. When millions of people go hungry each day how can we spend another dollar on war? More than 25,000 people die because of hunger every day. If you feel that people need food more than bombs we invite you to call us today. The next few years could profoundly change the world for generations and Food Not Bombs is working to make those changes positive for everyone. We are an all volunteer movement with autonomous groups active in the Americas, Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand and Australia. We welcome your help. Food Not Bombs is organizing several projects in your community. Free food distribution to local people in need. Literature tables to provide information about food, peace and justice Providing hot vegetarian meals at demonstrations and events. Organizing creative actions in protest to war, poverty and environmental destruction... We invite you to work with us to provide desperately needed services and information to our community. You can make a difference!"

you can:
cook, drive, clean dishes, talk to people, make a schedule, preserve food, call grocery stores on the phone, keep track of dates on a calendar, collate information, hang or design a flyer, find free bowls.
bet you can do at least one of these, in person or from home.
join in! #spokane

there’s a new covid variant, which is spreading throughout the US, including WA. i have been masking more, with the intention of masking Everywhere. i’m asking that you do too. if you need KN95s and you’re in spokane, let me know! i have a lot and can always get more. (articles are linked below)

Another way out: Fighting back against inaction Revolutionary change is not ordered like a meal or some product online. It is fought long and hard and won through persistent struggle

I wrote about the confusion created by disgruntled voters who believe that voting is enough, and the trouble many have visualizing an alternative. Fear, frustration, and the work of those who came before us are not an excuse to promote inaction or resignation. prismreports.org/2025/06/03/i...

boiling to freeze a bunch; those will be for @fnbspokane.bsky.social to hang onto. canning as many jars as I've got. doing my best over here
cleaning is a struggle I might go for the dishwasher "hack"

do you garden in Spokane, the Valley, nearby? We will be looking for donations by the time harvest season comes.
Do you like to cook, are you good at organizing? We could use the help!
Do you want to help hand out flyers, invite people to eat, help clean up?

#foodnotbombs #spokane #fnb

email us to get in the discord & join in!
if you are a restaurant, grocer, farmer or gardener who wants to donate, email us!

#mutualaid #fnb #Spokane #dosomething

the phone #on the contact map is correct at least and the email listed is for one of the volunteers. just waiting for them to update (I'm not sure if they'll remove non-responsive social media links there or not, but they all are listed still).

the Facebook page is run by someone who is no longer involved at all, we can't reach anyone there. I've contacted the main org to get the contact info current!
thanks we will add it to the bio- I think the name was too long at the time we were trying to set up. not sure
still getting (re) started

email if you're interested in helping get #foodnotbombs rolling again in #spokane ! foodnotbombsspokane@gmail.com
we have a private discord for meeting and figuring out what to do;
we are starting pretty much from scratch. all helpers are welcome.
