Friday's 2 wishes / 6ish things

Weekend wish #1

Let's go. - Alexander Chee

Weekend wish #2

May we summon and sustain our "yes, and."

Yes, a judge was just arrested by the FBI and the immigration crackdown is gathering steam, AND those of us who can throw sand in their gears must do so.

➡️ Keep distributing Know Your Rights info (print some, order some, chalk website URLs on public sidewalks). Get bystander intervention training online or see if a group in your area has one coming up.

Yes, the feds are defunding climate change education, AND we can still access it and speak the truth.

➡️ Anya Kamenetz with how and why.

Yes, the atrocities against Rümeysa Öztürk continue, AND her op-ed shows how powerful and threatening the written word can be.

➡️ Upcoming trainings from The Op-Ed Project include their evergreen Write to Change the World + this Media Safety Training.

Yes, ableism destroys families, AND we will live in a land of facts.

➡️ Make a call to your electeds if you have them. Demand that they condemn RFK's attacks on vaccines, research, and the autism community.
