Tomorrow is the last day of this holiday toy drive for Chicago families impacted by ICE. 41 of the 60 kids who were registered have had a present purchased. Organizers are hoping every child and family can receive a gift. Let's help them reach their goal! Venmo: KHPWtoydrive

migrating some of my art to bsky - always grounded by this question from @prisonculture.bsky.social 💛

A sketchbook is open on a table with pens and a paintbrush. The open page has a dark yellow background. "When something can't be fixed the then the question is what can we build instead?" - Mariame Kaba is written in black and white across the page. A police car and the Supreme Court are both drawn in black ink with flames coming out of them at the top of the page, and blossoming flowers and plants are drawn in black and white ink at the bottom.

A digital drawing with a beige background. Red bubble letters read: “mask 4 mask” with cursive text under that says: “because community care is HOT!” Beneath is a drawing of two blobs, one orange and one purple, with long legs and masks holding hands.

My mom is quoted in this piece! 🥰 While some of our alderpeople want to give in to fear and demonize new arrivals, I'm proud of my mom and her fellow volunteers who work to make "sanctuary city" and "welcoming city" a reality. www.wbez.org/immigration/...

As Trump’s deportation threats loom, Chicago’s immigrant communities prepare emergency plans

The plans include phone trees, Know Your Rights flyers, role-playing ICE encounters and passports for children.

we - all people on earth, our oppressions and our liberation, our pasts and our futures - are all connected. in this new year, let us continue to fight against interconnected systems of oppressions and move closer to our collective liberation.

A digital drawing of a collection of vines, leaves, and flowers against a black background. The vines are green and the flowers are dark red, blue, and mustard yellow with white line drawings over theme. All of the vines, flowers, and leaves are connected to each other. Scattered along the vines are white handwritten capital letters reading WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.

the dehumanizing rhetoric that politicians & journalists are employing against Palestinians is horrific. we must resist efforts to normalize mass killing & disregard the preciousness of each life. dehumanization & genocidal violence go hand in hand, & we must reject it all.

A white line drawing of Palestine colored green with Gaza in white. It is surrounded by red, green, and black flowers with white details. Above and below the drawings, white text reads: "where life is precious, LIFE IS PRECIOUS. -Ruth Wilson Gilmore"

“Is the whole world supposed to stop?” Yes. The world should absolutely stop as our government funds the annihilation of an entire people. The world should stop when mothers bury the children they carried. The world should stop.
