First of all: don’t stop rioting. June might be over but we still have bricks to throw, babes. Let it be the summer of revolt.
Connect with TractionSF (on ig) to get involved with Anti-ICE protests, community protection, rallies for Trans health and more. We also post in our stories daily whenever we see events and actions going on so you can check that out as well. If you don’t use instagram, feel free to send us a message on another platform (twitter, bluesky or if you’re on the discord/patreon you can message us there) and we can get you connected on signal or in-person meetings with groups on the ground doing this work. Now is absolutely 100% the time to tap into some local networks and pitch in with whatever ways we are able. We all can help fight for a better future!
June was a big month for us so we are looking at a quieter July, with the usual events and another visit from our friends at Artists Unite for Palestine (formerly SF Artists 4 Palestine) – reminder that we are selling art and craft items in our shop to raise money for families in Gaza / impacted by the genocide. Additionally, you can help our friends in Gaza by reading about their stories and donating to them directly.
