Not sure what to say. Not sure whether to continue posting.
Austin, come together to support the protestors who attended. Come together to support the family of the protestor who died fighting for what’s right.
Stay safe.
Are you a person who can get pregnant and you didn’t come out to march tonight??
That’s totally understandable. Process this as you need to. You don’t owe anyone activism—just get through this.
I love you 💚
this is hard to think about, but you need to understand this before you show up: there are people who want to kill protestors. this page & pages like it are public; white supremacists can see these posts too. assume that any protest could be targeted. stay alert & have a plan
not a protest
it’s freezing here in austin and the unhoused community needs supplies. dm streetforumatx if you have/can purchase any of the supplies listed below or check out their link on opencollective

on July 4th we’re:
-donating $4 to an abortion rights organization
-boycotting patriotic celebrations
-not buying anything
-wearing green or black
you don’t have to march to protest the Dobbs decision
Marching is important for visibility but without sustained, organized action a movement can’t survive. We can’t stop fighting for abortion access.
I’ve made a thread of orgs that have been working to make abortion legal & accessible, starting with
@AbortionFunds

We’re absolutely taking the fucking streets tonight. From Key West to Anchorage, we’re gonna let the Supreme Court know that we won’t go down without a fight:
DEMAND TX PRISONS IMPROVE A/C
Most TX prisons don't have A/C. There's a bill going to the TX appropriations committee tmrw that would help get A/C in prisons (HB1971.)
-visit
-select ‘Prison A/C' &
-comment “all people deserve A/C” or something similar
we have a community member who’s in desperate need of funds and is trying to evacuate tx
they’re a BLM protestor & donator who needs money for a hotel so they can evacuate
cashapp: $weaverock
Been hearing a lot about people wanting to move and leave the working class to stand alone against our oppressors. Leave if you want to leave but don’t feel like it removes you from the problem
Few dozen demonstrators at the Texas Capitol early this afternoon. 2nd amendment advocates say they don’t want to be associated with the Jan. 6th US Capitol insurrection and they urge peace today.
@cbsaustin
With extreme hot weather and record power demand across Texas,
@ercot
is asking Texans to voluntarily conserve Monday during peak times. Here’s what you can do:
Activism—esp in-person—is draining both emotionally and physically and it’s not for everyone. No shame for doing what you need to do.
Marching is only a very small part of enacting change. Sharing info is important. Donating is important. Contacting reps is important.
just wanted y’all to know that I still check for events daily but there’s not much. i’ll start posting more community-building resources in lieu of protest info
