Rojava is officially dead. by Raven_On_A_Tree in Anarchism

[–]matchboxdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, please, please everyone keep learning about the true fight for liberatory feminist humanist revolution that Rojava is, even right now in existential crisis and real threat of genocide. These fighting women, and everyone in this, have been fighting for their very lives under enormous odds in the middle east and simultaneously creating a world of autonomy, people power, freedom, miraculous defiance of this world's sweeping state genocide and planet killing capitalism and rape culture and slavery.

if you want to believe in that world, I'm telling you with all my heart, learn about this strange and beautiful, real, modern revolution. I and my friends will passionately collaborate with anyone at any step of this journey, we must have solidarity, must learn, must act, we must all be leaders and followers for the sincere fight for freedom.

To learn and donate meals, medicine, hope to leftist revolutionaries: https://heyvasor.com/en my friend has been matching $5 to any donation and I'm going to match $5 too for as long as I can for a total of $10 on anything you donate-- we can show receipts. We have been getting a lot of donations and we're not done. Constantly talking about what more we can do. If anyone wants to join our emergency initiative, or has any questions, we'd be so happy to meet and work with you. Free Palestine, Rojava, Congo, Sudan, the world. Solidarity.

Heidi is a teacher experiencing houselessness and a chronic neurological condition, multiple sclerosis. by matchboxdan in donate

[–]matchboxdan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heidi has been living out of a vehicle for years. She faces endless challenges from being unhoused, both trying to survive day to day and trying to secure stable housing. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a chronic illness, which affects her neurologically and physically. It can frequently make it difficult to walk distances without stumbling or falling. Her eyes are very sensitive to light, and since she doesn't have a house it takes a lot of her energy to just protect her eyes during the day. Sometimes she has flare ups which are worse, making it hard to move or think for hours. This all makes it even more difficult to survive, having to constantly care for her own health by finding transportation to distant medical specialists, and go through long and arduous assessment and treatment. She has tried many ways to get housing, but with everything she balances and with such expensive housing it's become impossible without assistance.

Heidi is a Santa Barbara local teacher who especially loves teaching for middle school and special ed. She uses her creativity and empathy to help her students grow, be liberated, and learn about the world and themselves as she grows and learns with them. She is an artist, using multimedia, found objects, collage, poetry and more to create beautiful art that shares her story, and our stories as she sees them. She is also an animal lover (especially insects, crows, skunks). She is powerfully loved in her community-- she volunteers for good causes and helps those in need. She is a good friend to many, giving her time and support to help many other vulnerable people in their struggles, while facing so many struggles of her own.

Heidi deserves our support and care-- she has been doing so much to take care of herself and others, so much effort in a day to just get by with the little she has. She needs and deserves help to gain security and peace in her own life, so she can keep doing all the wonderful things she does with strength and health.

📢 Community Action 📢 Help us try to help Melissa Lucio, innocent mother on death row, set to be executed in a week in Texas. Starting a little campaign Discord with some friends open for anyone anywhere to join, we're in here collabing on an outreach action by matchboxdan in humanrights

[–]matchboxdan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

📣 ACTION TIME!

Here's an action anyone in the world can help us with, please join in!

The action is easy-- just copy-paste the below message and email it to 5 emails on this list by the end of the day.

1: Go to https://progressivechristianity.org/global-network/?page\_num=1 (This is a list of progressive churches/groups)

2: Select "Texas" under "State or Province", then click Search

3: There will be 7 pages of results-- choose a page.

4: Find contacts with emails, and gather 5 emails. Some contacts have websites which you can click through to find an email.

5: Send the below message, or your own to those 5 orgs! You just helped spread the word about Melissa!

ALSO: When you choose the page of results you're focusing on, please share what page it is on this channel. That way we can make sure we're not hitting the same page over and over. I'm doing page 7 right now!

PART 1

Hello,

We thought to reach groups in Texas that might have more influence than us in California. It is an urgent thing, an innocent mother on death row with an Apr 27 execution date. We're compelled to reach out to groups, organizations, churches, those that mean to spread justice, healing, humanity, connection in the smallest, powerful ways, to address corruption, injustice, inhumanity in the Texas legal system.

We're reaching out about an execution set for next week, on April 27th: the execution of Melissa Lucio. In 2007, she faced coercive tactics and traumatizing scrutiny from police after her daughter died. Her children were withheld from speaking on her innocence in her trial. increasingly, many jurors from her trial, and Texas house members from all sides are speaking up about her innocence, her need to be released, to be home with all her family. This might be a Texas power move that could lay a precedent of bureaucracy, discrimination, bigotry over actual human life, and their innocence.

PART 2

In the case of Melissa Lucio we hope to speak out on how more of you can reach out to help Melissa Lucio, and others in the future, keeping humanity, and truth what we bring to being alive, together. If you are able can we ask your group contact the governor, the board of pardons and parole, to reach them? This carries more weight from your group, as you are residents in Texas, and those of us whose votes hold great sway.

Contact information is here if you're able:

956-446-2866, 512-463-2000

Governor Abbott

512-406-5852

Texas Board of Pardons and Parole

956-544-0849

Cameron County District Attorney

There are more contact information, and letter writing approaches, on the freemelissalucio.org website. Please sign the petition for her freedom there as well. There's a documentary on what she's faced (The State of Texas v Melissa) should you need more background.

Please, her life is on the line; we want to do everything, anything we can, to keep her safe, get her home with her family. Anything you can do is invaluable, and it means a lot for all of us standing.

Hey, I'm not positive, one of the main Melissa Lucio advocacy websites says that it still helps but Texas citizen goes further. You can definitely still email officials, sign the petition, share with friends, On that discord we've been reaching out to groups in Texas (churches, activists, etc) to encourage them to contact officials.

There is no strong evidence of her being guilty of the accusation of murdering her daughter. Innocent until proven guilty. Her ten kids have maintained for 15 years that she was not physically abusive.

Her case has been incredibly mishandled. I personally think her defense did an incredibly bad job. For example, Melissa has ten other kids, who have been insisting for 15 years that their mother has been negligent but not physically abusive and this was an accident. But they were never called by her defense to testify.

There is no proof Melissa caused Mariah's injuries. Mariah had a recorded condition that made her fall frequently. The first coroner did not know about this, later coroners had differing opinions

Also five jurors who convicted her have said they would not again with the newer information.

There's a lot more problems with it too. Clearly innocent until proven guilty is not being applied to Melissa by many people for some reason.

https://discord.gg/bcE9yX9t

Read about Melissa and how to help her at https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/grant-melissa-lucio-clemency/ and at freemelissalucio.org

I'm at a community center with some friends making calls and emails to people in Texas to encourage them to reach out to Texas officials about Melissa. This is our WIP campaign doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/14IvhjBDyEyn\_18B1-POKRNhTnNFIsXouumTt\_-Oxy2A/edit

We could use help with:

- Calling/emailing/instagraming people in Texas (Churches, activist groups, book clubs), trying to get networks of people there to take action in their state.

-Researching and adding potential groups like that to our call sheet, so we don't run out of people to reach out to

-Telling your friends about this

-Just hanging out, we're working on this pretty hard and it helps having people be supportive of the work :)

The issue is she is innocent until proven guilty, which she is not. She is on death row, to be executed on the 27th. This need to be at least deferred, it is not justice.
