Hey, I really love this solidarity & oppression =/= competition but I also want to use this to clarify something:

I don& #39;t like this "learn from others" rhetoric when people haven& #39;t been paying attention to Wisconsin. Madison & Milwaukee have been brutalized since day 1. https://twitter.com/dontatmefascist/status/1297768036078780417">https://twitter.com/dontatmef...

We& #39;ve been out here every single day, creating community and care + feeding & sheltering each other since the week of George Floyd& #39;s murder.

Wisconsin has needed your support since May 30th.

The second-best time to give it is now.

Here are some Wisconsin-related links:

Kenosha bail fund info (supported by a Milwaukee bail fund, for which this also qualifies): https://twitter.com/traceyecorder/status/1297985299885121536">https://twitter.com/traceyeco...

Madison bail fund info (may be relevant this evening after Madison community response): https://twitter.com/FreeThe350/status/1285632190932553729">https://twitter.com/FreeThe35...

Non-Kenoshan Wisconsin mobilizers/digital advocates/journalists for whom I can personally vouch (not an exhaustive list, just ones I know are cool with being boosted):

@ myself (MAD)
@Mercuryal (MKE)
@notcolloquial (MAD)
@mason_muerhoff / @newslockdown (MAD)

Madison organizations doing on-the-ground affinity work (separating their @& #39;s w/ slashes to diminish notification spam, as I& #39;m not affiliated w/ these groups):

@/AboutFreedomInc (political advocacy & city-wide outreach)
@/LMadisonwi (downtown demos, weekly kickbacks)

[cont]

@/UrbanTriage (Black autonomy group, consciousness-raising & mutual aid)
Black Umbrella Global (on Facebook, little Twitter presence: pop-up protests and civil disobedience)
Impact Demand (on Facebook, little Twitter presence: pop-up demonstrations, youth organizing)

Milwaukee organizations (again, separated with slashes to diminish spam):

@/lit_wi (Black autonomy and civic engagement)
@/blocbyblocMKE (Black autonomy and civic engagement + bail fund organizing)

(I& #39;m not as rooted in MKE, so my list is lacking.)

This is not at all a canonizing list. I just want to give you some initial places from which you can get your information and donate your time & funds.

We& #39;ve been at this. We& #39;ve been fighting. We need you now if we& #39;re going to win.

Love and solidarity from Wisconsin, forever.

Btw, I& #39;m RTing the original post of this thread NOT to bludgeon people for their irresponsibility or to continue this narrative of anti-solidarity. I& #39;m RTing the original post of this thread to boost the content with full context. Thanks for understanding.
