Dear John,
This morning, we woke up to social media feeds literally flooded with images of climate disaster spanning from Louisiana to New York City, news about the Supreme Court’s decision to effectively overturn Roe v. Wade, and more evidence of the violence and trauma we faced at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department last summer.

It’s been less than a week since Indigenous-led water protectors were arrested while engaging in ceremony at the Minnesota State Capitol, and since over 60 water protectors were kettled, brutalized, and arrested outside the Governor’s mansion as they engaged in peaceful protest to defend our treaties, water, and climate.

Oppression is designed to exhaust us. I hope you’re taking good care and finding the rest and space you need to process this moment. When you’re ready, know that there are tangible actions you can take towards our collective liberation, and to keep yourself from feeling grief and despair. That’s how I’m staying grounded right now - so I’ve rounded up ways to take action, find power, and connect with our movement for collective liberation.
Support water protectors putting their bodies on the line and risking arrest. Donate to bail funds at this link, or send funds to @StopLine3 and @Taysha-Martineau on Venmo. Find your place in the movement and at the front lines.

Connect with neighbors in Minneapolis to build the understanding and people power we need to create the systems of public safety we deserve. Register for a deep canvass phonebank or doorknock shift. If you don’t live in Minneapolis or can’t make it to an event, donate to support our endorsed candidates and elect a progressive majority to the city council.
