The organizer of a rally in support of mass deportations on Monday said the rally is about enforcing existing laws, not promoting violence.
LONG POST BUT IMPORTANT, SO FORGIVE ME
I've been meaning to make this post for awhile, but I've been so demoralized just thinking about it so I kept putting it off.
This Saturday, August 1st, Greg. Fucking. Bovino. of overseeing Minneapolis immigration murders and shitty nazi cosplay fame, is coming to Fishers, IN- MY CITY. He's going to be a keynote speaker at Save Heritage Indiana's "Mass Deportation Rally" (Along with Micah Beckwith, our Lt Gov and pedophile-befriending pastor.)
"The event begins at 7 p.m. on Aug. 1. Poynter said for security reasons, attendees will not learn the exact location until shortly beforehand," and I have heard (unverified) that they've actually been struggling to find a venue to host them. These sensitive manbaby fucks KNOW what they're doing is unpopular. (*Additional note- apparently seats are invite-only and $50 a head, OR you can pay $500 to have dinner with Bovino. 🙃)
THAT BEING SAID- several local groups, including local Indivisible groups, Food Not Bombs, Indy Resistance, Somos Latinos, and several more are hosting a HOOSIER HOSPITALITY MARCH.
The point is to bring people together in support of our immigrant neighbors and show strength in numbers. It's from 3-6pm on the same day (this Saturday.) The route takes the march by the Al Huda Mosque where people are encouraged to bring non-perishables for their food pantry, and ends in a vigil for those taken and murdered by ICE and DHS.
I REALLY want people to attend.
I plan on showing up with my D&D group and some wagons filled with whistle kits, gatorade, and snacks to make sure people stay hydrated.
If you live within, like, a 2 hour drive of central Indiana, PLEASE consider bringing some friends and attending. I so badly want the march to overwhelm my city.
If you can't attend but want to help or contribute in some way, feel free to donate via my ko-fi. I will be using donations to fund snacks, waterbottles, first aid kits, etc. to bring to the march. Anything in addition will be donated to the mosque!
ICE is opening an office about 15 minutes away from me. Since learning about it, this image has been lurking in my mind and I had to get it
The image above is PWYW, so you can donate through there and get a high res of this image to do with as you please in exchange!
Anyway, thanks for listening. Please consider spreading the word.
quick note for anyone new around here who might not know - most of my characters are trans men whose pronouns are he/him. there's been a small wave of they/them misgendering (coming from fellow transmascs for some reason!) so i wanted to clear the waters with a quick rundown/introduction:
eudryas - he/him, trans man, fairy, started medical transition with fairy medicine at a young age and never developed breast tissue. glows under direct moonlight.
pegasus & unicorn - t4t, both trans men, both he/him, both horseboys, in a longterm bdsm relationship but not entirely exclusive. unicorn never takes off his armor. pegasus is a knight too whenever i'm not too distracted drawing him naked and bound.
taelle'teth - trans man, he/him, has had phalloplasty, bone elf necromancer who can see people's bones through their skin and wears a bone mask over his eyes for your comfort more than his. his legs don't work due to a degenerative disease. specializes in making bone prosthetics and mobility aids for himself and others.
vetiver - cis man, he/him, fairy, loves wearing red lace which is held up by the peircings in his skin. has some kind of ambiguous relationship with eudryas.
