ALL OUT NYC!!! Join our comrades DecrimNY for a teach-in and canvass tomorrow! 

https://www.facebook.com/events/880317355672359/

Decrim NY is working to end criminalization of sex work because it will make sex workers and trafficking survivors safer from violence by clients and the police. It also decriminalizes mutual aid strategies like sharing a home with a sex worker! People who trade sex know what we need: resources and rights, not more policing.

We're gathering on Tuesday night at 35th Street & Madison Avenue in Manhattan to counter misinformation and bust myths about the campaign for decriminalization. Join us for a circle and hear directly from speakers with lived experience trading sex, and then participate in a canvass to talk to community members in the area about why we need decrim now! Supplies will be provided for canvassing and art.

It is imperative that the [Illinois Department of Corrections] fully embraces the reality that it is the largest provider of mental health care in the state of Illinois.

How solitary confinement drove a young inmate to the brink of insanity, Chicago Tribune, quoting a report by a federal monitor

This is an absolutely brutal article about solitary confinement and mental illness in prison. This line stuck out for me as it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot: how this country allocates resources to incarceration and not to care. How the policy response to mental illness and addiction is violence instead of care or treatment. How the worse off you are, the more likely the state’s approach to you will be based on punishment, bondage, and violence. 

It’s everywhere. COs are not and will never be qualified to provide care. They can build mental health facilities in prisons, but the bottomline is we need to stop sending people into these facilities. They just radiate violence into our communities, compounding problems they ostensibly exist to solve.

Friends, I've made a redbubble account! I have 4 designs up currently.

All the profits will again be donated, and the orgs they'll be donated to are listed in each product description. While I get less of the money this way per purchase, it's more accessible to share and I'm hoping that that will mean more people will buy them than my more minimal reach. The orgs are: #FreeBlackMamas, Divest/Invest, and JustLeadershipUSA which works on decarceration efforts.

You can buy stickers of all of them, pins of a couple of them, and shirts of the floral design. If there are other products you want available for a certain design lmk and I can activate it.

all designs my own.

Receipts will be posted at the end of each month on my instagram @/bitter_feminist

National Bail Out | Join the Movement Today

National Bail Out is a Black-led and centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers, and activists building a community-based movem

Not everyone celebrates Mother's Day. But maybe you do.

And maybe, like me, you have a decent relationship with your mama.

And maybe, like mine, she is not that excited by consumerism.

And maybe, like mine, she is really into family reunions.

For the last several years, my Mother's Day gift has been a donation to the National Bail Out, which covers the bail of mothers and caregivers who are in jail pretrial, so that they can come home and be with their loved ones.

If you're looking for ideas to honor or remember your mother this year, please consider helping bring mothers and caregivers home.
