Today, Providence is the least affordable city in America for renters and costs are going up for everyone.

Together, we can make Providence a city all our neighbors can afford and where everyone feels welcome.

In the Fight Against ICE, Kids Are on the Front Lines From tear gas attacks to violent abductions, we are collectively witnessing the mass-scale abuse of children. Young people are fighting back.

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

They haven't left Minnesota. Don't listen to the mainstream news.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

It's getting cold here in Providence, and our distro fund is currently overdrawn because we had to buy more cold weather and harm reduction supplies for our unhoused neighbors. Please send what you can!

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.

It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

If we start seeing drone-based grenade attacks in the US, it could absolutely be worth learning to shoot clays. But at the moment, I'd still think of a shotgun as primarily a luxury/recreational item

Group of 13 people posing in Providence after handing out supplies

With the upcoming reduction in services, we expect to find more and more people in need in the coming weeks. We (and our friends downtown!) would appreciate any support you can send our way so we can keep our distro going strong through the winter (see below)!

If you've somehow got drones attacking you, I guess you could probably wreck one's rotors with #8 bird shot. But if you're just shooting at random drones, that's a really good way to get, like, *mega* arrested

Assata Shakur, sitting cross-legged, stairs at the camera. She has a book in her hand/lap and is wearing a multicolored garment. Her hair has been twisted.

“I have advocated, and I still advocate revolutionary change. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.”

Settle your quarrels, come together,
understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is
already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that
generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to
act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love in
revolution.

Post from Cooper Lund reading:
The “don’t sign up for protests” thing is just an outgrowth of the Online tendency to one-up other people on how much you care. Oh, they’re protesting and signing people up for it? I’ll show them by claiming that’s wrong and you can care more by not signing up.

He's said he's blocking people, so we'll add this here for context just in case

This is a great example of someone to not listen to. Never sign up for a protest, don't photograph or record your (or anyone's!) face, don't share that you were present, and do your best to hide your identity. A protest is a show of force, not a marketing opportunity for your personal brand!

A group of 13 comrades pose in Providence next to a cart decorated with xmas lights

Every week, RIJBGC and our friends go out downtown in Providence to distribute survival and comfort supplies to our unhoused siblings. We are running low on some supplies (especially socks and body wipes), and would appreciate help stocking up for winter (hats, gloves, blankets) if you can!
