✊💚🌍🌏🌎💙✌️🌱🌳🚫⛽️🚫💵🚫 . There aren’t enough emojis to describe how amazingly powerful of a day Friday was. The #youthclimatestrike in NYC had over 250,000 quite literally shutting down the city and taking the streets for #climatejustice. That meant many incredibly powerful and creative signs, climbing street lights and courthouse steps (and other parts of the tweed courthouse building 😇), moving performances and speeches by youth from the global south, indigenous people, @gretathunberg, @c.syresmith, @willowsmith, and of course pop-up proformances by @resistancecompany in true #resistancecompany fashion 🎸🤘🎵🎶 the day ended ever so fittingly by helping to guard a youthful tree that my @xr_nyc and @earth_strike_nyc comrades guerrilla-planted in Battery Park to #reclaimmannahatta 🌿 . Those kinds of numbers and this scale of unity and creativity is impossible to ignore. Nonetheless, we NEED to keep this energy going if we are to achieve the change we need. This means taking the streets day after night after day after night and creating self-sustaining communities in the process. Catch me at the @earth_strike_nyc #communitiesstrike in Brooklyn next Friday to continue to build for this vision. Can’t stop won’t stop for planet earth and humanity 🤝 . #climatestrike #climateaction #reclaimearth #rebelforearth #rebelforlife #rebeleverydamnday #resilience (at Downtown New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2vddlMgOKdL_SfTDu1AsHydu33eBSFlvC3l740/?igshid=111zwvynuxa1w

I’m not really sure why the human race decided it would be a good idea to begin extracting resources from the ground in order to create weapons of mass destruction. We as a people and a species are so beautiful; why would we ever want to destroy ourselves the way we do in this country in particular? I could attempt to answer this semi-rhetorical question with colonialism, capitalism, imperialism, extractivism, racism, sexism, or any of the other awful -isms, but if we all dig a little deeper we will realize that there really is no reason to be manufacturing or operating these killing machines. No one deserves to experience being on the other end of a gun for any reason, whether that reason be a ruthless war over resources depleting the earth, being gunned down by the police for the color of your skin, domestic violence, gang violence, or simply being at a community art event such as Art All Night in Trenton NJ where I survived my first (and hopefully last! 🙏) mass shooting. How about we all just recycle the ones that exist already, abolish gun manufacturing companies, and create a worldwide culture founded on community and compassion as opposed to violence and greed? As my girl Yoko would say, first you have to imagine it. And then we get to work. 💛✊✌️🚫🔫🚫✌️✊💛 . . #endgunviolence #endguns #resistancecompany @resistancecompany 🖤❤️ (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2W7Oc9ADL2cUp70rE_tq04YnlG71wgXfJukBY0/?igshid=7bpmvnc7joj1

Starred in my first music video “White Man” this weekend with @resistancecompany! ✊🎸🎵🎶🏴🚩 We took a day trip to upstate New York to a [disproportionately white] 300-population town where some Nazi fuckhead decided to spray paint swastikas and burn down half a building at the local Yeshiva. We came to this site not to highlight the hate in the world (the media gives us way too much of that already), but to vehemently and loudly denounce it, and to instead spread a message of unity. Despite our identities and the politics that follow them, we are all stronger than hate and we WILL rise above, overthrow hate in the world, and come together in many complex forms of love despite these fascist regimes who embolden hate criminals. As the song states: We say unity! Fuck white supremacy! White Man, wake the fuck up! #resistancecompany #whiteman #unity #fuckwhitesupremacy #musicvideo #activism #fuckfascism #fuckantisemitism (at New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLOpsDHHx4rtTNp2V6L6nUlhjLFHhmDHuHsh40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uq8a0ti6pejo

Debut of my first song “On Demand (Abortion Song)” with @resistancecompany 🖤👩‍⚕️✊❣️🔥 . . It’s a spicy one with an even spicier message. 🌶 I wrote it to counter protest the anti choice rally in Times Square a couple of weeks ago. Who knew that 4-5 states would then pass (or attempt to pass) fascist abortion restrictions and bans. We are here to say fuck that. We need free abortion on demand without apology. 1 in 4 of us have had one already; it’s totally normal so if you’re one of those anti choice fuck heads I kindly suggest that you gently pull your head out of your ass and get tf over it. Until babies come out they are a part of our bodies and therefore we have autonomy over what we do in that situation and that’s the end of the story. We will not stand for a fascist handmaids tale reality that @mike.pence and @brett_kavanaugh_judge and all their proud old white boys dream about. Thank you for coming to my soap box. 💋 . . A huge thank you to @etgbookcafe for hosting us! 🏡 . . #ondemand #abortion #abortionrights #resistancecompany #firstsong #prochoice #fuckchristianfascism (at ETG Book Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxpjKcjALN4fTS2vIkV8cnPeN6hUoT7o_YAqjI0/?igshid=sruw20eb1qh4

Hey fam 💁🏼‍♀️ remember that cute little spicy song “On Demand” that I wrote with this fiery passionate musician activist band @resistancecompany? Well we just finished the recording, and it is now up on our Bandcamp! Fed up about all these attacks on women’s rights and abortion bans, both in the US and abroad, and the systemic structures that allow them and countless related problems to continue rearing their ugly heads? Go give it a listen and rage! And then join us in the streets to DEMAND a liberated world!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to my birthday party yesterday! Thank you to everyone who brought delicious vegan food for everyone, and for putting up with my reusable tubberware for plates 😂 and of course thank you to everyone who brought an instrument and/or jammed out with me, whether it was playing, listening and singing along to my songs or participating in the open jam session afterward. Last but not least, thank you to everyone for staying as covid-safe as possible. We made some wonderful food, music and most importantly community, and for that I’m so incredibly grateful. 🤗 . Special shoutouts to @resistancecompany and @liberateyoself for playing the set with me 🎸🥁 to @reluctant_hero1 for taking so many videos (soon to be posted!) and for helping me bake the most delicious raspberry cake 🎂 to @kxllyobrien and @polyroid for getting here so early and helping set up 👏🏻 and to all my @rudemechanicalorchestra comrades for coming and officially welcoming me into the band after I got checked in this week ⚙️💚 . There aren’t many cultural things I enjoy from the muggle world, but birthdays are one exception. I do feel like it’s important to take time to celebrate people for who they are and express gratitude for the fact they were born. This is why I always make it a point to go to friends birthday parties, and whenever I have the opportunity to share birthday parties with folx I love doing that too. I hope that one day when I live in an intentional community we can celebrate our collective birthdays too. 🥳 . I couldn’t have asked for a more chill, fun, fulfilling and meaningful day. My heart is so full ❤️ . 📷: @relaxed_pear 🙏🏻 (at Marcus Garvey Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF7v2qCDK_1rJou_vEJdXdqS9O6hf9r7ND71fA0/?igshid=1khsbb6jog9p

Just came back from an empowering, humbling, and ultimately epic DC trip with @resistancecompany 🎵🎶🎸🏛⚡️ . Our new friends @occupyhstreet have been taking space at Black Lives Matter Plaza, right in front of the White House, for 40+ consecutive days, demanding justice for Black and Indigenous people and an end to police brutality. They really need bodies on the ground there right now, along with ice, water, food, hand sanitizer, phone battery chargers, etc. If anyone in the DC area could go down there any time today or this week, to take space, drop off supplies or otherwise, they would be very grateful. All power to all the people ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🌍🌏🌎 (at Black Lives Matter Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZTOhPDoLB-M8l_gC577_46bC5GRB9C0UYBLE0/?igshid=jt91diklg1us

Gonna keep fighting for Black lives if it kills me. . See ✨LINK IN BIO✨ for many ways you can get involved and educated if you’re not sure where to start. Also follow @justiceforgeorgenyc and @nj4georgefloyd for protest updates. . COVID and cops both kill more BIPOC than any other oppressed group. Black men in amerikkka have a 1/1000 chance of dying from murder at the hands of the police in their lifetimes, making the cops a public health emergency in and of themselves. Many can’t social distance in their day to day lives, either because they are an essential worker, or because they are trapped in a cage in prisons or ICE concentration camps. Many are also immunocompromised, making day to day life during these incredibly stressful times even scarier. I’ve had the classist privilege of social distancing for the past three months, so it’s high time all of us privileged folx who are able to get out of our comfort zone and stand up for those who do not have such privilege, just like we would any other time. . If you can’t make it out because of contagion concerns, I see you and feel you too, and there are many ways to support this movement remotely or from a distance, such as donating to bail funds, providing jail support supplies, talking to your family about race, or calling precincts demanding they #abolishpolice for #justiceforgeorgefloyd, just like they did in Minneapolis. . That being said, PLEASE WEAR A MASK at these demonstrations to make it safer for folx with autoimmune issues to show up if they would otherwise not be comfortable. No protest is 100% safe or comfortable by any means, especially now that we are dealing with brutal militarized police forces, but this is another small thing we can all do to keep each other safe. I will always bring extra masks to these protests if I can attend any more, and I will give them to anyone who needs them. Wearing a mask also makes it harder for police to identify you, which is critical right now and always. 😷✊ . #nojusticenopeace #maskup #wekeepussafe #blacklivesmatter #ftp . 📷 (3️⃣5️⃣7️⃣): @resistancecompany 📜 (2️⃣4️⃣6️⃣9️⃣): @wewillnotbesilent (at Black Lives Matter) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOW9nyA2jFQIT28ohAt4dzDPBTzhEFPUAIfN80/?igshid=jabgd3u53mg7

I’ll entertain the idea that there potentially can be “good cops” when I see thousands of cops drop their batons and guns and protest in solidarity with people of color when they demand justice, admit that their job was literally created for the purpose of catching runaway slaves (and not much has changed since then), all quit their jobs on the spot and decide to engage in racial and restorative justice work for the rest of their careers, and most importantly stop and tackle any of their coworkers if they are in the process of killing someone. I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, 🅰️©️🅰️🅱️ . #georgefloyd #restinpower #blacklivesmatter #ftp #acab . 📷 (1-4): @resistancecompany (at Barclays Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAzeJYLAxIQB9kYgadiipOnIKyfbviLDwEg1uE0/?igshid=1j53ptn0t7zeb

Asylum seekers trapped in crowded concentration camps can’t physically distance. Political prisoners can’t just stay home. Therefore, making sure we took all possible precautions, today @resistancecompany and I went down to the governor’s office, and we took back what he stole from them, took back their dignity, and took back their humanity. Now he’s under my feet, under your feet, under their feet, under OUR feet. Ain’t gonna let no system walk all over us. ✊🏴💥📢🚙⚡️ . In solidarity with @cosechanyc @cosecha_harvest and @closethecampsnyc, we DEMAND that @nygovcuomo release all immigrants being unjustly held in detention centers, and all prisoners trapped in cages, especially our hero #RamseyOrta, before these prisons and camps become literal death houses! All human beings deserve healthcare, respect, and a chance to live! . #FreeThemAll #CloseTheCamps #AbolishICE #elpueblounido #immigrantsarewelcomehere #freeramsey #freeallpoliticalprisoners . 🎨: @reluctant_hero1, who made the amazing Close The Camps sign 🖼 (at 366 3rd Avenue, New York.
