Ways to help
So we've got Sofi's thread for news and discussion and I thought this one might serve as a place to share links to educational resources and means of supporting the changes for which so many people are currently protesting. I would love it if we could refrain from shitposting here. I'm gonna share what I've got but I'm hoping others will have more to contribute

The good people at Sargent House are also helping out. They're providing food in Oakland as well as organizing a fundraising raffle which I'll link to here as soon as possible. So far they've announced the inclusion of one of Chelsea Wolfe's guitars and some original album art from Emma Ruth Rundle

this organization does research to find ways to reduce police violence and racial bias.
https://policingequity.org/fight-bias i don't generally like TED talks but here is a short one by Dr. Goff who is co-founder: https://www.ted.com/talks/dr_phillip...prove_policing you might not agree with all he is saying but science can help and should be put to use. |

Free e-book on police violence:
Chicago has a long history of police violence. The starkest evidence is seen in the hundreds of recent cases of torture of suspects in custody—overwhelmingly African-American men. Our latest free e-book, available until noon on June 6, is The Torture Letters: Reckoning with Police Violence by Lau.rence Ralph. The book is based on ten years of interviews and archival research and takes the form of open letters to victims, witnesses, participants, activists, mayors, and police. With compassion and careful skill, Ralph traces institutional racism through law enforcement, the political machine, and the courts in Chicago, amplifying the voices of torture victims who are still with us and lending a voice to those deceased. “A deeply caring work.… An essential primer on the roots of police violence.”—Publishers Weekly Get this important work free for five days. The paperback is available at 20% off with promo code AD1862. “A compelling and necessary look at the brutalism that inevitably emerges in the maintenance of racial castes, and the persistence of police violence today.”—Chicago Review of Books “A deeply caring work.… An essential primer on the roots of police violence.”—Publishers Weekly [This e-book will only be free through noon on June 6, 2020.] https://press.uchicago.edu/books/freeEbook.html |

In this pivotal (hopefully) moment in US history, it is important we do what we can, however we can, with what we’ve got. So here is an old show from 2009. Not a perfect show by any means but I think it documents the spirit of that period for us well and it sounds pretty darn good. I only fuck up really bad once. See if you can spot it. Only keeping this up through the weekend so act fast. All proceeds split between Campaign Zero and Justice for Breonna Taylor Fund. Today would have been her birthday. My heart is heavy. My blood is angry. released June 5, 2020 |

What the heck, 40%? 40% of the city's entire budget?
Thanks for all the links, both of you, very much appreciated. |

WHY?
June 8 at 12:49 PM We raised over $2900 for the Justice for Breonna Taylor fund and the National Bail Fund Network this weekend! Because of this success, we’ll be releasing a past live show recording on Bandcamp every Friday in June and we’ll be donating all proceeds from these sales to those in need. https://whywithaquestionmark.bandcamp.com/ |

WHY?
4 hrs Happy Juneteenth! We’d like to offer another full unedited live show to you via Bandcamp. This time, all proceeds— our cut, as well as Bandcamp’s portion— go to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Get it while it’s hot! Bandcamp only donates their portion today and the show will only be up through the weekend. Thanks y’all. Love you! |

big ol' foundations don't need any more money. even ones like ACLU and the NAACP are marred by bureaucracy and funds don't make an immediate impact because money takes forever to trickle down. i don't know what cities y'all live in, so i can't tell you what grassroots groups to support. but in chicago i like my block, my hood, my city. assata's daughters. brave space alliance. and good kids mad city. apparently they (GKMC) were recently featured in teenvogue (just found the article in a search).
