Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

The way voting discourse gets this time of year is deeply exhausting because I don't think we should spend this much time thinking about it so here is a concrete thing you should do instead of posting about voting:

Open the search engine of your choice

Type in the name of your city or county.

Type in an issue that you care about the most

And then type in the word "organizing." Or maybe something like "preparedness" or "solidarity."

Spend twenty minutes going through the results until you find something that feels resonate with your values. Maybe it's a nonprofit. Maybe it's a scrappy mutual aid group with a twitter account. Doesn't matter. Find something that's more organized and consistent than a one-off protest.

If there's not results, that's okay. Think of another issue or expand your geographic area. Maybe into look into a national organization.

Send them an email! Ask how you can get involved. Tell them your time restrictions, any skills you have. Ask what they need.

(if contacting a group feels risky at all, make a proton mail account and don't use your real name; there are plenty of mutual aid groups where everyone is definitely using a pseudonym and that's fine!)

Maybe send a few emails, if you like multiple organizations or aren't sure.

Follow up if you haven't heard back in a week. Organizations can get busy but they do need you!!

I'm a paid organizer now but whenever I move on to a different career, I will continue to do organizing work as a volunteer. I've also done mutual aid and attended protests. I'm working on getting involved in disaster preparedness in my neighborhood.

Organizing groups always need more people to help and being involved in something meaningful in your community will save you. Literally it will save you from despair. There are multiple ways of doing this - sometimes what people need is help with social media and you don't even need to leave your room. Whatever you do, you will develop new skills, you will find people who care about the things you care about, you will refine your own political beliefs through concrete action.

Regardless of the outcome of any given election, there is so much work to be done in the world and every single person who decides that they want to do that work opens the door to more possibility and begins to create the conditions for that new world we all want to see so desperately.

Don't let anyone convince you the best you can offer the world is your vote. The world needs your voice and hands and dreams and anger and laughter and creativity. It needs you.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
