“All that you touch You Change. All that you Change, Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
Antifascists, abolitionists, and all who stand against oppression know what it is to feel unsteady and uncertain.
Some have been engaged in this work for decades. Some for months, weeks, days. We have seen new comrades join the struggle, excited to find community, a place to grow and organize - for many, a chosen family. And we have been heartbroken to see beloved comrades go.
Every member of our community has a profound impact on us all. Our actions, noticed and not, all add up to the solidarity and love that make our lives together so precious. That unsteadiness and uncertainty can feel relentless, but we know that in order to continue the fight that brought us together, we must care for one another. And so we will.
To those that are no longer on the ground with us, know that we will carry the torch for you always.
We love you, we miss you, we will keep fighting for you.

#scanner Police are keeping eyes on the area of the ICE building in anticipation of a protest there this afternoon.
Rally at 2 PM in front of the Philly ICE office demanding ICE stop opening new detention centers and free our remaining community members detained at York County Prison. Transfers further separate loved ones from their support networks and legal representation, especially if they are transferred out of region. This is especially harmful to those who have families and are no longer able to see their children. FREE THEM ALL!

Out on the Kensington Avenue this morning, where just north of K&A homeless outreach workers and police begin to clear out yet another encampment.
#socialmedia "Important to understand today’s clearout is targeting two encampments, a mile apart, but there are maybe a half dozen other sites along Kensington Ave in between. Over 80 people sleep in McPherson Square. Displacement prevention strategy does not exist, community leaders say."

#scanner When asked for an update from the Inspector, a unit replied that the eviction was "slow-rolling" and that they're trying to get people to move, but "not everyone is in line." Inspector replied "Alright, speed it up. They won't be in line, just move 'em."
