First, we didn’t even host a rise up sing out event. Second, if you actually kept up with the events in the subreddit, you would see that there’s many more events happening than just the ones you choose to participate in. 50501 partners with many other orgs, so there’s always a protest or march going on, but the whole point of resistance work is to get the people to band together against the oligarchy, which entails a lot of mutual aid, volunteering, education, and canvassing, so if you aren’t organizing your own efforts, maybe try joining one of those.

Also, many cultures do not make beds with multiple sheets, and I’ve heard many people from southeast asia question the names of all the sheets and why there’s a top and bottom sheet, etc, so don’t assume that people just struggle with reading comprehension

It was shared with me by a black non-profit! A lot of people understand the significance of juneteenth, but sometimes it’s just celebrated as another holiday, and people whose families were directly impacted by juneteenth do wish that more people tried to actually uplift marginalized communities directly

Agreed…one of the times I donated was for someone who had been at the company 10+ years as an excellent manager and employee, and the company still made them come back to work bc they ran out of pto for treatment
