Support Unsheltered Neighbors

-

It feels like -25 degrees in Minneapolis, where more and more people are experiencing houselessness (and the situation is worsening across the U.S). Indigenous Action offers a printable guide on how to support unsheltered community members in extreme cold. https://itsgoingdown.org/autonomous-winter-support-mobilization-street-patrol-basic-guide/

"According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, approximately seven hundred people experiencing or at risk of homelessness are killed from hypothermia annually in the so-called United States.

Absolutely no one should be left to sleep outside during cold weather yet a range of factors may force people to sleep in the cold; from discriminatory shelters kicking people out, being kicked out of a house during a storm, being forced to flee an abuser, simply being unprepared, etc. Raids sweeps and anti-homeless laws, such as anti-camping ordinances push people to camp in hidden and dispersed areas which puts them more at risk."


Printed copies of this guide are in the Rad Mini Library!

Some perennial p...

Sharing a rad book and rad event! We Grow the World Together: Parenting Toward Abolition, edited by Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson. From Haymarket Books: "As we await a second Trump presidency, it's easy to feel frozen -- as if any action we take can't possibly be enough, and may be futile. Now is a moment to bring in the stories of folks who are taking action to build a liberatory world every day, sometimes in ways that go completely unrecognized: caregivers. In this heavy time, it's important to recognize the centrality of care to movement work. In their new anthology, We Grow the World Together: Parenting Toward Abolition, Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson have drawn together the insights of a wide range of authors and organizers, including Dorothy Roberts, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Mariame Kaba, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Beth Richie, Harsha Walia, Dylan Rodriguez, Victoria Law, adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown, and many more. Together, these essays illuminate the w...
