Ten things you can do to fight fascism this weekend before or after you protest: 1. Take that canned food you swear you'll use someday to the food pantry. In fact, if you have a little extra, buy a can or two every time you do your grocery shopping and drop it off on your way home. - ThreadSky

What if the government declares martial law..we will need to stock up with food water etc
Believe me, I can’t believe that I am even writing this.

The Montgomery Hands Off event tomorrow is a huge food pantry drive!

Better yet, see if there is a food not bombs event in your area, or some other type of food distribution operating outside the state. many food banks require identification or proof of income, which makes them inaccessible to many folks

Community fridges as well!

2. Donate to your local bail, gender affirming care, or abortion fund. There are thousands all over the country! If there isn't one where you live, contact @nlgnews.bsky.social or @abortionfunds.bsky.social about starting one.

3. Take those clothes you only wore once that you swear you'll wear again someday to the local homeless shelter. Maybe whilst you're at the grocery store, pick up a pair of socks and drop them off at the shelter too. They always need socks.

And feminine hygiene products. Forever in demand and few people think to donate them.

4. Make sure your local library has all the books it needs! Libraries accept donations of books. All those books getting banned by authors like Angelou and Du Bois and Malcolm X and Crenshaw are important for people to read. If your library doesn't have a banned book, donate it to your library.

Some libraries won't accept book donations. Better ways to support your local library: get a library card, check out books/DVDs/etc., attend library events, support/volunteer with the friends of the library, or consider running for the library board.

5. If you rent, join your local tenants union. If you don't have a tenants' union, start one. Folks like @latenantsunion.bsky.social, @latenantsunion.bsky.social, and many others (including me if you're in Illinois!) can help.

6. Support RAICES! They represent and support immigrants across the country for free, and they need donations of money and items. Plus they need support in other ways, like translators if you speak multiple languages. You can also support the National Immigrant Justice Center.

7. Wear a mask! Seriously. Wear a mask when you do your grocery shopping or when you're picking up your medicine at the pharmacy. Normalizing mask wearing helps keep our disabled and immunosuppressed friends and community members safe and destigmatizes the practice.
