Organizing healthcare workers and folks trained to respond to emergencies is so important right now. Shout out to orgs like Ujimaa Medics in Chicago doing that work! Please tag or link any that you know of.
Happy Hoodoo Day of Healing!!!! 🤍
May the minds, bodies, and spirits of black folks all over this land be healed & restored. May the Earth & the Waters be healed & restored. May our ancestors and descendants be healed & restored.

Tomorrow is Hoodoo Day of Healing and we're hosting a Community Care Clinic on the South Side of Chicago!!! So excited to make care packages with y'all and to link folks with the amazing orgs we partner with who make healthcare services accessible to black folks on the South Side & beyond.
We'll collectively be offering vital health screenings conducted by licensed midwives, ear seeding & acupuncture, and signing folks up for free first responder trainings. These trainings teach community members how to respond to emergencies such as asthma attacks, gunshot wounds, first aid/ cpr and drug overdoses.
Attendees will be able to meet & talk with local midwives who provide a wide range of reproductive and gender-affirming care services.
Attendance is free. Refreshments are included! Donations are being accepted!

.@chicagosmayor a houseless person was set on fire last night! The city isn’t doing enough to house & protect people! No one should be sleeping on the streets period & they definitely shouldn’t have to worry about their safety! Sending CPD to harass & force them to move ain’t it!
Mayor Lightfoot's youth curfew in Chicago has a loophole for those who have paid for ticketed events. This sends a message to Chicagoans -
our public parks are only available to you, if you can pay for it!
Not only is Chicago NOT investing real resources into its communities. It is banning those same communities from the tourist centers that ARE receiving the resources.
Mayor Lightfoot has instituted a 6pm curfew for youth at Millenium Park any day Thursday-Sunday. Teens who do not comply will be taken into police custody. Chicago's mayor continues to prioritize the tourism industry over real investment in communities.
Gang members are just regular ppl responding to their material conditions, it’s not always positive but the idea that they’re just inherently bad and seeking to cause harm to any and everybody are not the ideas we should be reproducing. None of us are above being n community w em
idk how to explain how cultural appropriation is a very american concept. it is the result of the way white people in America suck everything here dry so badly that we HAVE to gatekeep. but non-americans actually love when other people wear their clothes & adapt their culture.
