We got the power! What kind of power? People power!
A common phrase heard at protests, it really is the truth behind every successful movement. It takes everyone looking out for each other to make meaningful change. With everything going on in the world it is a serious privilege to be able to look away, put the phone down, and log off. But the world is at your fingertips and you have the power to do something, anything to help others. There are so many causes that deserve the spotlight and I am just one person, but I hope to inspire you to do your own research and find causes that are equally important to you. There are options even if you don’t have the money. Or may this inspire you to be more involved in the communities you claim as your own. Change begins at the roots, in the home, in the changing of our own hearts.
Free Palestine until it’s backwards. Keep families together. Black and Brown Lives Matter. Zan, Zendegi, Azadi. Land Back. Free Congo, Sudan, Tigray. Never again means never again for anyone. None of us are free until all of us are free.

🍉Ceasefire Now
We are watching a genocide unfold in front of our eyes. Get educated, speak up. Call, email, show up. The only way out has been closed for almost a year and basic necessities are too expensive for most to afford. The best way to help is to donate to families vetted by Operation Olive Branch. If you can, please, please, donate.
Woman, Life, Freedom. Say their names to save their lives.
The Iranian revolution and fight for women’s rights is not over, despite media silence. Keep the pressure on.
Keep Native Lands In Native Hands
Native people all over the world are fighting for their land back. The US has increasingly suffocated reservations and continue to encroach on the land they forced these people onto. Their food sources are being polluted and women are often kidnapped and killed thanks to mancamps and oil pipelines. Not only is the US polluting and destroying itself, but it’s polluting the fabric of the US as a whole.
Keep Families Together
ICE is getting permission to drag anyone from sick children to US Veterans to prisons and detention centers. No one is illegal on stolen land. This punishment and gatekeeping from those simply seeking refuge is sickening. Watch out for your neighbors. Fuck ICE
War on Ukraine
Ukraine has been at war, defending their land from Russia. Those affected still need help, there’s still work to be done.
Black & Brown Lives Matter
This fight has been ongoing and although progress has been made, it’s not enough until people are unafraid to walk the streets of their own neighborhoods, drive their cars, get a snack from a gas station, be in their own homes, and just be.
