If you don't know what to do for the #resistance , or are terrified of being on a front line bc you could get #yeeted to #elsalvador or an #amerikkkan prison, then make donations to #ACLU #lambdalegal #TransgenderLawCenter a non-profit #immigration rights law center, donate to someone's #go_fund_me to help them with legal fees, and/or #volunteer for an #advocacy center. These forms of resistance and #protest are every bit as important as #holdingtheline

Organized our 1st walk audit for the MLK Way Traffic Safety Committee (part of Rainier Valley Greenways-Safe Streets) where we observed and walked across and along MLK Way between Dawson St and Hudson St, taking notes and sharing personal experiences. Our group will use this & future walk audits to create our recommendations for improvements

“He took information that was publicly available but labor-intensive to compile, and did something nobody else was doing...I don’t know if he expected this second career to make him basically the world’s only credible public source on U.S. deportation flights, just as they were becoming part of one of the United States’ biggest national news stories.”

As a counselor-in-training, I’ve learned that advocacy extends beyond the counseling room. Recently, I stepped into it in a new way: joining colleagues to push for workplace flexibility. Advocacy isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary.

#CriminalizingDissent: #Greenpeace Ordered to Pay $667M to #DakotaAccessPipeline Firm over #Protests

#DemocracyNow, March 20, 2025

"A jury in #NorthDakota has ordered Greenpeace to pay more than $660 million in damages for defaming #EnergyTransferPartners, the corporation behind the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Texas-based pipeline company accused Greenpeace of orchestrating criminal behavior by training and providing funds to the #Indigenous-led protests at #StandingRock. Greenpeace and its supporters, including other #nonprofits and #advocacy groups, argued that the lawsuit is part of a conspicuous attempt by #corporations to destroy the right to #FreeSpeech. Longtime #HumanRights and #environmental lawyer #StevenDonziger, who was part of the independent trial monitoring team observing the trial, says it was purposely held in a region of the country with deep ties to the #FossilFuel industry. Donziger said most of the jurors in the case were connected to the industry and were 'predisposed' to rule in favor of Energy Transfer despite the 'false narratives' presented at the trial. Greenpeace plans to appeal the ruling."
