Stop Cop City!

“To be clear — cop city is not just a controversial training center. It is a war base where police will learn military-like maneuvers to kill black people and control our bodies and movements. The facility includes shooting ranges, plans for bomb testing, and will practice tear gas deployment. They are practicing how to make sure poor and working class people stay in line. So when the police kill us in the streets again, like they did to Rayshard Brooks in 2020, they can control our protests and community response to how they continually murder our people” – Kwame Olufemi, Community Movement Builders.”

Alongside pad distribution, we'll offer menstrual health education sessions to teach proper use and care when feasible.

Clappin' Back: A Look into Digital Misogynoir and Online Harm Reduction Practices
The historical legacies of violence against Black women are long, and now these violences show up in digital spaces. Moya Bailey, a Black feminist scholar, coins this form of digital embodied violence as misogynoir. In this teach-in, we will explore what digital misogynoir is and look deeply at the ways in which Black nonbinary, agender, and gender-variant folks clap back through means of harm reduction and digital alchemy.

Not On Our Dime! Ending NY Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act
Over the last decade, there have been multiple reports exposing the flow of money from New York to Israeli settlement organizations via New York-registered non profits. There is also a robust, and unfortunately growing, record of how these Israeli settler organizations are involved in war crimes. When faced with such a robust record, it is incumbent on our State to act.
