Over the weekend, people worldwide united in powerful demonstrations for Palestine. Amid heightened scrutiny of pro-Palestinian protests, undaunted participants waved flags and chanted slogans in solidarity.

Get out there, raise your voices, save lives! #FreePalestine

I fear I will be saying this over and over again in the coming weeks but this is the one and only post I will make.
Many people are hurt, angry, and scared right now. These feelings have their place and are understandable but I ask you all to use these feelings as motivation to get involved in your communities.
Theres alot of work to do regardless of who got voted in and I ask you all to find out how to start.

Upset that a felon is going it be president while felons lose their right to vote?
Look into prisoner justice organizations, learn about prison abolition and restorative justice practices.

Scared about the future of queer people in your life?
Support local queer organizers - learn our history and who to learn from (hint: its bipoc, poor, disabled, and multiply marginalized queer people). Make practical change and stop watering down our politics, histories, and needs to appease liberal politics (they will not pick you, and if they do they will do so in the name of oppressing your people).

Considering fleeing the country for your safety?
Now is the time to look into Immigrant justice organizations and the needs they have. You are considering becoming one, so support the ones currently in your community and in the one you end up in, given you leave.

Feeling hopeless?
Get organized, meet people, learn how real change is made and the ways you can participate. Change doesnt come from election day, it comes every day before and after that.
