The U.S. supports fascism abroad and we are experiencing fascism at home. These coos are attacking people in Atlanta for protesting police repression and the destruction of a forest.

In Gaza:

~97% of water is unfit for drinking

~56% live in poverty

~64% of youth are unemployed

~80% are reliant on international aid

~70% are refugees

And 100% are trapped under Israeli siege, occupation, and endless bombing campaigns. The timeline didn’t begin today.

[Chicago Community Jail Support @ChiCommunityJS]

CHICAGO’S COOK COUNTY JAIL IS STILL VIOLATING HUMAN RIGHTS

CCJ CONDITIONS UPDATE 10/4 🧵

Someone was inside for 1 month & reported that the water was consistently undrinkable. He saw a nurse once/week & they would give him a container of water, but it was only enough for 1 day.

There is no safe amount of lead. In Chicago, low-income and communities of color are drinking significant amount of lead in their homes and school. Thank you to all who joined this rally that demanded local and federal action to #gettheleadout

@EPAMichaelRegan @EPA @POTUS @LVEJO @NRDC @bridges_puentes @SETaskForce @ilenviro @GinaRamirez311 @angtovar @SustainChicago @ChicagosMayor “Chicago and Illinois doesn’t have the work force to tackle its lead pipe problem. We need trade and apprenticeship programs where more people can join the water workforce.” @Chakena_Perry

This is not a pipe dream! This could be our reality. Let’s get the pipes out!

this was an incredible presentation and we are so excited to continue advocating for divestment, investment, and democratization

capitalistic biomedical and pharmaceutical industries to eliminate disease via vaccine technology, rather than to fully address the root causes of emergent diseases (climate change) & disparities in health (anti-Black racism & colonialism).

[Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice @endmoneybond]

COVID-19 cases among people incarcerated in Cook County continue to climb along with the number of people caged in the jail.

We know that decarceration is the only way to protect public health. Cook County must take action to ensure this current outbreak doesn't take more lives.

[Nā Pua Kūʻē – Hawaiʻi Dissenters @HIdissenters]

The U.S. military has been polluting Oʻahu's water & sentencing Hawaiians to slow death for generations in the name of "national security" under U.S. colonization. The tanks have been leaking since the 40s when they were built to jets to wage war in Asia. https://t.co/WZWR372y0J

[Nā Pua Kūʻē – Hawaiʻi Dissenters @HIdissenters]

Ola i ka wai.

Demilitarize Hawaiʻi. The issue of Red Hill fuel is inextricable from settler colonialism and militarization. Hoʻihoʻi ea, Hawaiian sovereignty, and environmental justice necessitates that we abolish the U.S. military, the world's largest polluter.

A new first-of-its-kind study analyzed the emissions from 60 M US homes. It found that white households, despite having greater access to energy-efficient measures, have significantly higher emissions than Latino and Black homes.
