Free Internet Faxing - Send faxes to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada for free

SOOOOOOOO you’re not comfy making phone call (or you can’t get through) and postage is expensive and not terribly immediate?

FAX YOUR REPS.

This website will let you send up to 5 free faxes up to 3 pages for free, every day. There’s even a quick and easy button to click for faxing your reps.

So get on Google Docs, write some stuff (one of my senators is Sherrod Brown, today I just sent him the words GO SHERROD GO in like 90 point type), download it as a PDF and fax it off. You can also quickly locate fax numbers for state offices (as opposed to their DC offices - district offices are often a better bet) and hit them in multiple places.

If you do want to pony up for a longer fax, it’s $2. I forked it over to fax the entirety of Coretta Scott King’s letter to my OTHER Senator, douchebag Rob Portman.

Painless! Easy! Low-stress! Get faxing!

why are people within the black community claiming a phrase when it means more than just racism?? lmaooo.

“Rest in power is a saying that is used to replace "rest in peace," which is said after someone dies. The phrase "rest in power" is used for people who have dedicated their lives to activism or those who have died due to oppression, such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.”

Rest in Power is not just for racism.

It’s for activists; along with those of the LGBTQIA who have died of hatred and got killed, even more so. it’s NOT just for racism.

So I am reading the oral history of Laurel Canyon music scene and its so damn quotable.

J.D SOUTHER: [about Vietnam war protests and anti-war activism in college campus] The other thing you have to remember is that those days people thought their votes counted for something. Now kids think no matter who's in the White House he's still an asshole.

Topic: Artists/Activitism Call in: 516-453-9957 As we watch what is happening in our country, politically and socially it's hard not to be reminded of how things have changed, yet, how much they have actually stayed the same. Back in the 60’s when I was born, the civil rights movement took on a very different look once it was televised. Most of the country didn’t realize what was going on outside of their comfort zone until they turned on the television and witnessed with their own eyes the injustice that was taking place in the world as they sat on their comfy couches. Fast forward to 2018 when we no longer have to turn the knob of a television set to view the news as we are now walking around with it 24/7 365 right in the palms of our hands with a Smartphone or other mobile device. Through the decades there have been many individuals and groups more specifically artists who have been on the right side of the law and in the thick of activism. Many have used their platforms and their ability to use their talents to command large audiences in order to spread the word of injustices. Most of us have heard about artists who are activist such as Nina Simone, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Bono, Sting, James Baldwin and Mos Def, who have been vocal, but what about the local artists in our own communities who are activist? #AntionetteBlake #MadelinePorter #Artists #Activitism #SoicalMediaSundaywiththeDelawareBlogger #AAUGlobalMediaProdcutionGroup www.wejfoundation.org

In addition, hashtags have the intertextual potential to link a broad range of tweets on a given topic or disparate topics as part of an intertextual chain, regardless of whether, from a given perspective, these tweets have anything to do with one another. Thus, a tweet in support of Ferguson protestors and a tweet in support of Officer Darren Wilson could both be coded and filed under #Ferguson. Moreover, a tweet about racial disparity in Missouri, such as “racism lives here,” and one about a night out on the town in St. Louis could both be marked #STL

People love to claim, you have to be calm as you protest, you have to speak in a way that the powerful will respect, you have to dress in a way that doesn’t alienate people. But following such rules does not matter. There’s no right way to protest your own dehumanization and your community’s destruction, especially when your country insists that there’s nothing violent, uncivilized, and un-American about how it routinely dehumanizes and destroys certain populations.
