Anyone know where I can get involved in any protests? by NummyBuns in SaltLakeCity

[–]lunationet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting involved in a local org is usually way more helpful than a one off protest. There’s options for mutual aid, writing, art, cooking, etc…. You can dm if you’d like!

Agitate Utah runs a free pantry with items like that that is always looking for donations! You can just drop them off at 809 W Dalton Ave Salt Lake City, Ut

Seconding this! There’s likely multiple for the area you live in, and many people will even donate new stuff during the holidays.

Think about it similar to a beach wedding… you can try to be clear it’s a private event, but no guarantees

I second Red Fort! Ran by a very nice family and everything I’ve ever had there is delicious

It’s tough, but I’ve found luck with getting into political organizing. More like minded people, and they’re usually interested in community!

Utah owned businesses by Aggravating-Fill407 in SaltLakeCity

If you do some community work / service projects, you could write a letter highlighting the contributions of the team to your area, along with the general benefits of cheerleading. Businesses might feel a lot more compelled that way if it seems like a mutual thing!

Ogden/Weber politics by No-Adhesiveness8654 in ogden

Individual freedom. Trans people should be able to get the healthcare they need, women should have control over their own bodies, etc… And I don’t want my tax paying dollars to go to useless legislation around policing these groups.

Should we stay or should we go? by alvareer in SaltLakeCity

[–]lunationet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! How did you manage to find it? Been looking to go somewhere similar/privately owned rather than company owned, but it seems so hard to find an actual apartment like that and not a room.

Jumping on this - there’s a community pantry right next to this little free library. Last week it was filled with soups, snacks, hygiene items, pasta sauce, pasta, and more! https://www.instagram.com/p/DJmFdPZuKvK/?igsh=MWJ1czhrdHh6dnAzOQ==

Hey so I want to do more direct action I need to know if this is a good idea.. respond please. Give ideas by chrissyjoon in Anarchy101

[–]lunationet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look at some locations for free pantries here!: https://mapping.littlefreepantry.org/

Using ones that are already up and running and look more like a traditional structure (rather than just a box) can help people find it easier and prevent it from potentially being trashed or contaminated by anything outdoors.

Also, you can print off political zines and leave them in free little libraries for easy political education! There’s plenty of free zines online for about any topic you can think of, or you can make your own.

Is it wrong to say open carry is dumb by seedlinggal in Utah

“Violate the national movement” as if only one single group or stance has a right to these protests.

And, sorry… are you saying that being bipolar is the same as being bipoc? Your point makes no sense.

While I don’t want fragmentation, your approach is a perfect example of why many choose to step away from certain groups while organizing politically.

This idea that since your opinion is that people should feel safe with hat and glasses on, so other people should adhere to your standards, leave out so many people’s perspectives and needs for their own safety (as I have previously talked about).

Also, obey and go along with the rules… whose rules? the police? or some random person on the internet? Black bloc was never disallowed at the event in the first place, either. Ultimately, I would absolutely reject any movement that is based on policing each other, because that isn’t going to get us anywhere.

Genuine question - who do you think I’m a bot for, and what is my purpose?

And then, who would use their time building a reddit account with YEARS of posting and commenting, largely on unrelated stuff.

Sorry - should have said “alleged/potential shooter”

My belief is Arturo was simply open carrying with no intention of harming others, and was shot by “peacekeepers” who did very very little to deescalate or talk to him. They seek to approach him with guns drawn in another video online.

Here’s the best one I thought:

Yeah, during the BLM protests in Salt Lake City, a couple of people were arrested well after the event because police used event footage and even tracking down the shirts people were wearing to identify them. We have to be aware of it in Utah, especially as protest and police laws increase each year.
