There are many reasons that I wanted to start a program like REBUILD. Over the years, when incarcerated comrades returned home, they would ask for counseling/therapy resources that were culturally competent. I only ever had a couple of local resources for them when I lived in Chicago.

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights** Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight.

From meteorologist Eric Snitil

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights**

"Heads up birders, I would not be surprised if the biggest bird migration night of the year happens over the next 2 nights. Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight. That is a lot, but the pattern could not be better for migratory birds. A massive area of high pressure will turn the low level winds from the northeast to the southwest across most of the US. The last time we had anything similar to this in the fall was early October last year when a record 1.25 billion birds were in flight. I doubt we get to that level, but I suspect the number will top 500 million especially Monday night which looks to be the bigger of the two nights. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights on big migration nights, and the next 2 nights is about as big as it gets."

Narcan is really easy to use and you should absolutely carry it, even if you don't anticipate needing it. It reverses the effects of overdose, buying people time until medical help can arrive. And if you give it to someone who is not OD'ing, it has little to no effect (meaning no harm).

A canva graphic decorated with baby clothes and items that reads:

help our friend prepare for her new baby!
costs are high, so baby clothes are about $1000 for a small supply

blankets, diapers, & hygiene supplies cost about $700 together with the high prices

a crib is necessary to avoid dangerous rodents; these cost about $1000 now

vitamins for Amal, food supplements for nursing, and formula cost about $300

you can donate directly to Amal's GoFundMe to help her purchase the baby items she needs.

It gives a QR code or a website link (which is in the post itself).

Nearly 40% of incarcerated workers are paid *nothing* for their work. And the rest are paid at abysmally low wages. This is not a system built on "justice" for all.

Graph showing that prison labor is usually mandatory and often unpaid: 71% of people in state prisons with prison jobs are required to work and 29% choose to work. 39% of incarcerated worker are paid nothing for their work. 61% are paid, but at abysmal wages.
