Pairing political & self-care actions for sustainable activism. Intersectional support & social justice info for #resistance. Because the personal is political.

If there was ever a time to balance action and care, it's now. Here's some resources to help you prepare:

everyone settle in for like 8 straight hours of being glued to this godforsaken web-based bird application.

Get snacks. Get water. Get beer. Get weed. Get whatever you need. It's gonna be a long one. #TrumpCovid

Drink some water. You know you’re just scrolling all dehydrated and shit

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

The only way to stop police from shooting and killing Black people is to stop contact between them. The only way to do that is to shrink the size and scope of policing. There is no “justice” after the shooting. The conditions aren’t just

@ashleyn1cole @PadmaLakshmi Agreed! We've created a helpful guide to spot and call out racist, sexist attacks on marginalized candidates ! https://t.co/nOqMkMI1BX

[Vogue Magazine @voguemagazine]

Over the course of her career as an author and activist, @IjeomaOluo has been conscious to balance output with self-care, saying: “My work is very difficult emotionally, and it takes me a lot of time, a lot of effort. I'm spending a lot of time in trauma." https://t.co/iPBVa3dvLP

[Julia Serano @JuliaSerano]

words cannot describe how much I resent a billionaire cis-hetero author choosing not only #Pride month, but historic world-wide #BlackLivesMatter protests, to go on a TERF-centered anti-#trans children rant. Rowling's statement is riddled with misinformation & falsehoods...

[Léonicka @leonicka]

Question for White people and non-Black POC to answer in their journal: how are you personally going to dismantle white supremacy and anti-blackness in your life?

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

If you’re not working for justice, stop calling for peace.

[Hoda Katebi هدی کاتبی @hodakatebi]

As we demand #JusticeForAhmaud, let us also commit--with our hearts, tongues, and hands--to dismantle the very systems that have created, enabled, and perpetuated this lynching. This is not simply the act of two white men, but of a white supremacist nation built on stolen land.

How are you showing your body respect today?

#COVID19 will still be here in November.

Every. Single. American. needs to have the ability to cast their ballot from the safety of their home.

Many, but not all, currently can. WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THIS. #NovemberIsComing.

The ⏰ is ticking. #DemCast

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Weird being a trans woman and told the discrimination my community faces will be solved with a one-size-fits-all economic policy, implying that candidates are incapable of arguing for broad economic justice while addressing identify-specific oppression.

Fuck. That. Noise.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

A reminder: None of these hearings would have happened if organizers, volunteers, and voters hadn't worked together to win back the House majority for Democrats last year.

Let's keep working together in 2020 to hold power to account.

[Jose Antonio Vargas @joseiswriting]

Earlier this year, Congressman Elijah Cummings asked: "When we’re dancing with the angels, the question will be asked: in 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?"

You did everything—and more, Sir. Thank you for your moral clarity.

Everyone should be OUTRAGED by #AtatianaJefferson death! We need White allies coming out & speaking about her murder, we need you at rallies, the same energy you put into congratulating #BothamJean brother for hugging #AmberGuyger send some hugs & PRAYERS to Atatiana’s family!
