Join Yerazad and @doodleswithoutborders Friday morning as we gather to both REMEMBER the Armenian Genocide that began in 1915 — all the came before and all that followed — and RESIST ongoing Indigenous land theft, cultural genocide, and the captivity of “POWs”. We will also stand in solidarity as we resist the targeting of immigrants and what we see daily in our streets. The “model minority” is a myth and there are no sidelines for anyone. We begin at 8am, so you can make any other gatherings and/or hold space with your family after 💜 DM any questions and register at the LINK IN BIO for location! See you soon ✊🏽🇦🇲

MARCH 31 On this Trans Day of Visibility --and everyday--lets remember that capitalism's central tool of oppression is using patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism, ableism, etc to spril the working class into a hierarchy of competing groups. Let's remember that to be anti-trans is to be a class traitor. On this Farmworkers' Day let's remember that until patriarchy is disassembled, all cis men are dangerous pieces of sh't by default, until they show otherwise. United working class means all poor people, ALL working class people. #SkidRowConnected #CollectiveStruggle #CollectiveLiberation
