An update

I think I’ve decided that after today, I’m going to take a little break with this newsletter. I always wanted this to be a fun outlet and I’ve been struggling with it for a little while. I think a break will be good for me to recenter myself, get some personal things in order, and decide how I want to proceed with this space moving forward. I might keep the weekly updates or move to bi weekly or monthly….the break will helpful for me to figure it out! Thank you for being here and I hope you stick around when I return.

I gathered a few good resources for how you can help with everything going on and I wanted to share them.

I found this absolutely fantastic guide called The Disruption Directory. This 92 page PDF shares tons of ways you can personally disrupt fascism without having to be on the front lines protesting. The directory shares 6 archetypes, and the idea is to pick the one that sounds the best for you based on your strengths and resources. Then it provides a customized list of to-dos for you to work on based on your archetype. This is by far the most comprehensive and practical guide I have found, and is a fantastic tool for folks who are probably feeling a bit paralyzed and want to get involved but don’t know where to start.

This Instagram post is a really good immigration resource guide and has tool kits and orgs you can support.

Finally, I really love hookieduke’s work, and currently they are running a fundraising shop where proceeds are going to different organizations in Minnesota. Get yourself some beautiful gear and support good causes!
