chicago community bail fund have said they’re covered for now and honestly i’m not sure how much impact they’ll have when it comes to homeland security so im going to link some organisations that have protests planned this week or are providing community support and could use donations and exposure to prepare for this.

We should already be planning how we’re going to support the nigh-inevitable mass teachers’ strike in a few weeks.

[cannabiscomrade]

Listen to teachers now.

Follow some teaching groups like Red For Ed in Arizona who already are protesting.

Watch cities like Phoenix, LA, Orlando, Miami, and other hot spots in the next couple of weeks.

Donate to your local teacher’s union. Donate to local school PPE funds.

We are already organizing. Help us prepare.

[fatfemmalewife]

many of the worst places for this are where striking, collective bargaining, and/or labor unions (… effectively even if not literally) are illegal - meaning they could lose licensure, pensions, and/or be jailed for attempts at these.

even if you’re not in education, i truly encourage you to protest a full reopen of schools. call and ask them how many of them have pulled their own children but demand the teachers and students show up. as the op mentioned, donate money if/where you can.

children will die — especially those with disabilities. their guardians will die. educators and janitors will die. bus drivers will die. and now teachers are the ones who have to figure out what to do.

the governments know. they expect everyone, including children, to be okay with it when they get sick or are permantly disabled, or when people around them die or are permanently disabled from the government creating what WILL be entirely preventable nationwide superspreader events.

national unions and teachers’ organizations still provide aid where local chapters cannot. some examples are the NEA, the AFT, and the IWW.

Please donate to Riot Ribs!!

[creaturey]

They have received a lot of love and have requested that people donate to local independent journalists instead for now, who are also super worthy of your donation, as they are the only people covering what’s going on here in depth and are out here in the middle of the protests every night getting tear gassed and arrested!!

I recommend Andrew Jankowski in particular right now, because he was just arrested last night (7/16/20) (donate).

@PDocumentarians was also arrested a few weeks ago (donate).

And here’s an incomplete list I made a while back! Tuck Woodstock, Garrison Davis, Sergio Olmos, Donovan Farley, and Lindsay Smith (not listed - @LindsayPSmith7) are IMO doing some really exceptional journalism fieldwork right now and could use some extra $. I highly recommend following Robert Evans and Alex Zielinski as well.

[creaturey]

never mind lol they are REALLY determined to deny free food to the community and suppress altruistic acts of kindness with violence & arrest (from today 7/18/20 - video)

[rumman]

so 87 people protesting her death have been charged with felonies but the 3 cops who murdered her have had no repercussions?

call the attorney general, daniel cameron, to demand that the officers who murdered breonna taylor – brett hankison, jonathan mattingly, and myles cosgrove – be prosecuted immediately: [phone] then press 1. or send an email to the mayor, greg fischer, to demand they be fired: [email protected].

takes 3 min to do either of these!

[pronouncingitwang]

[ID: An article from July 15 titled "87 people charged with felonies after Breona Taylor protest at attorney general's house." Excerpt reads, "Eighty-seven people were arrested and charged with a felony after a Tuesday protest on the lawn of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, the Louisville Metro Police said in a statement. The protestors were demanding that charges be filed against the officers responsible for the March shooting death of Breonna Taylor."]

[pronouncingitwang]

In your calls and emails, PLEASE also demand that the charges against protestors be dropped or at least be amended to a misdemeanor, especially since criminal trespass is considered a misdemeanor in Kentucky, NOT a felony. These protestors are going to have their right to vote taken away if this goes though.

Also consider donating to the Louisville Bail Fund!

[pronouncingitwang]

Actually, good news: felony charges have just been dropped!

Keep calling + emailing + donating though

Advocates say the fastest way to help immigrants separated from their children: Post their bail

When undocumented immigrants are detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), they are held in detention until they go to trial where the court will decide whether they can stay in the country. In some cases, the immigration judge will let them go while they await trial if they first pay a bail bond. Bail is set at a legal minimum of $1,500, but can be much higher. The bond is meant as a deposit to ensure the accused will report to their trial. If they attend all of their court appointments, they can get the money back. But many people have trouble coming up with the funds. The average bail bond issued by the San Francisco immigration courts in 2014 was $3,411 and the average cost of bond in immigration courts nationally is $6,500. Bond amounts could be as high as $80,500 on Central District of California immigration bonds, according to a 2015 study by USC law professor Emily Ryo. Donating to community bond funds can immediately “lead to freedom,” she said. Community bond funds are charities, like RAICES, that use funds to post bail and provide legal defense for detained people.This is one of the fastest ways to reunite immigrants with their family, said Pilar Weiss, project director at the National Bail Fund Network.

A friend of mine posted this and tagged my old instagram account, asking me to share it. I figured sharing it here where I actually have a following, would be far better.

Please remember that just because the government is giving into pressure and greed, that doesn’t mean that any of this is getting any better, in a lot of ways it’s getting worse. And even if you yourself aren’t being as heavily affected anymore, there are people and communities that are.

Stay safe Darling ones, and help others remain safe too.

[tinaseh]

so the minnesota freedom fund turned out to be fraudulent :///

[tinaseh]

[doctorfreak]

y’all..........remember 1. most grassroots organizations aren’t prepared or expecting to raise 30+ million dollars in 3 weeks 2. days after they started they said they had enough donations and asked people to direct funds to needier orgs 3. they announced they’ve spent over $200k bailing people out and are working on doing more 4. community organizing done right is hard work with a lot of different factors and limited resources Beyond just money.

hold these organizations accountable and demand transparency. but this original post has such little information and y’all are just circulating it? read the thread from the oakland mask org that started years ago and how intense this work is. it’s been three weeks and these are what looks like less than 12 people who have been given an immense amount of cash in an unbelievably short amount of time. i wouldn’t be so quick to call this a shaun king situation.

[anonymusbosch]

I follow Fadumo. She's deleted these tweets.

The MN Freedom Fund has existed since 2016. Prior to the George Floyd protests, they were a small bail fund that paid out around $1000 per day. Paying out over $200,000 in 20 days puts them at over 10 times their previous payout rate.

They stopped taking donations very early on because the support overwhelmed their capacity.

Their front page now, as it has been since late May, is almost entirely links to local efforts which need more support - Black Visions Collective, Reclaim the Block, and funds like Rebuild Lake Street and the Northside Business Association.

Meanwhile, The National Lawyers Guild has said that jails are delaying activists from being able to release protestors.

The MNFF should be transparent about how it's using the money, yes. I believe they should also redirect the donations they can't immediately use to other organizations. But they're a 501(c)3 nonprofit, there are restrictions on how they can spend and transfer money. You can check out their nonprofit filing forms on ProPublica - no one at MNFF receives a salary.

Keep orgs accountable, keep pushing for transparency, but please do a little more leg work before accusing an org of fraud.

[lilacbreastedroller]

all this. you can't just waltz into a courthouse, write a check for $35 million, and call it a day. it would be scandal if the $35 million had been spent frankly.

[dingdongyouarewrong]

they also can’t ‘redirect the donations they can’t immediately use to other organizations’, because it’s illegal for nonprofits to do so in the state of minnesota
