[image ID: a tweet by user Xiel @lumiexalt that reads “nonblack people, remember the main driving force behind our activism should be compassion for black people and not merely hatred for the system. practice love, compassion, and kindness, extend that kindness to those who need it – not your romanticized revolution fantasies.” /end ID]

[image ID: a twitter thread by user kada @sunlightvveins. the first tweet reads “spreading community bail funds and prison abolition resources is a lot more helpful in these scenarios. rting change dot org petitions has the right motives but black people need & deserve more than those. please Please support COMMUNITIES and abolition materially.” 

the second tweet reads “i can’t speak for all black people but i see my community every day and i know these petitions are not the beginning of enough. we need yall to organize and/or just support the organizers. we need people/money/resources. spread THOSE. idk man” /end ID]

here are some places to donate to support the movement right now.

[Colour photograph of Winona LaDuk speaking. She is wearing traditional clothing and there is another indigenous person sitting next to her.]

“Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesn’t make a corporation a terrorist.” ~ WInona LaDuk

[yekkes]

It cuts off her full last name, which is LaDuke. She is Jewish, Ojibwe, and an indigenous activist.

[zathuraroy5]

@allthecanadianpolitics this applies here too, so thought of your blog. So many communities and reserves don’t even have running water.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

This is happening right now in Canada:

‘This is not the country you believe it is,’ Neskantaga First Nation chief says amid water crisis

Trudeau won’t commit to ending boil-water advisories on First Nations by 2021

Neskantaga First Nation water crisis shows ‘apartheid system’ of clean water access, NDP MPP says

All families, children evacuated as Neskantaga First Nation faces new water crisis, chief says

[starrylolo]

I'm going to scream. They really said "we broke into your apartment, killed your girlfriend and bc you shot at us in self defense, we're suing you."

Meanwhile you have old white men talking about how they'll shoot anyone who steps anywhere near their property and it's alright. It's fine if white man threatens to shoot anyone who pisses him off. But if a black person tries to use a gun in self defense, suddenly having a gun will get you in trouble?

hey, solidarity to everyone out in philly tonight protesting the police murder of walter wallace jr. i know the story’s probably gonna get buried by all the supreme court stuff, so if anyone out there has a specific bail fund or mutual aid org that people trust out there please let me know about it so i can boost it. i’ll be keeping an eye out in the coming days

[legallyhermione]

The two Philly bail funds I know of are the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund (https://www.phillybailout.org) and the Philadelphia Bail Fund (https://www.phillybailfund.org)

Philadelphia Bail Fund

The Philadelphia Bail Fund is a community bail fund based in Philadelphia that posts bail for people who are indigent. We work with the comm

Philadelphia Community Bail Fund

The mission of the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund is to end cash bail in Philadelphia. Until that time, we post bail for those who cannot

U know what time it is: loving and supporting trans women because they’re amazing and beautiful. Trans women deserve the world.

[wannabeemoprincess]

Bro, christopher columbas was a colonizer piece of shit and all, but if youre not talking about the forced sterilization of indigenous women, the lack of access to clean drinking water on reserves, the missing indigenous women who go missing with no investigation, or any of the other multitudes of indigenous issues happening currently today, your bonus woke points for saying fuck christopher columbus arent worth shit tbh

[sexycontainmentprocedures]

Hope it's okay to add to this, I wanted to know more about these specific issues so here are some links for people:

on forced sterilization

on water crises

on missing persons (also here)

Wikipedia article outlining major issues

I think those are pretty US-centric, so here is Canadian info:

8 Key Issues for Indigenous Peoples in Canada

water crises (Canada-specific)

history and social info about their oppression

Lastly, I started wondering if Alaska has unique issues for its indigenous population, and it appears to:

info on Alaskan Natives' history

"10 things you should know" (including hardships they face)

[gnascher]

info on cops in Alaska

info on hawaiian sovereignty

[princessnijireiki]

All of this also applies to indigenous populations in Latin America and the Caribbean, and non-whitepassing Native + Mestizo Latinxs stateside as well.

Please don't forget the whole other half of the Americas + the other American continent in your indigenous activism just because those indigenous peoples reside in the global south when they face the same colonial violence and racial/sexual terrorization and genocides as their northern neighbors & cousins.

haven't really seen anyone mentioning this on my dash but mi'kmaw fishermen in nova scotia are being intimidated and attacked for exercising their right to fish. mi'kmaw chiefs have declared a state of emergency & the RCMP are on site. a lot of the news coverage has been pretty skewed or outright absent. there's been requests for provincial and federal government support for the fishers, who are exercising rights that are historically and legally theirs.

particularly to my Canadian followers, please make sure you stay informed from reliable sources & call your MPs to express your support. if anyone has any links to more information, fundraisers, or petitions please add them below!

Abled gays celebrating marriage equality: well we sure do have nowhere to go from here when it comes to marriage rights. Gay rights!

Me, a disabled lesbian trying to get on ssi thinking about how I will not be able to marry my girlfriend if I do because I can't have more than $2000 to my name at a time and they count a spouse's income towards that: wow .. gay rights ...

[bellwitchfaggot]

Just wanna say if you fought for and support marriage equality for gay people its your responsibility to do the same for disabled people. Abled people can and should rb this
