“All that you touch You Change. All that you Change, Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change.”

― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

Antifascists, abolitionists, and all who stand against oppression know what it is to feel unsteady and uncertain.

Some have been engaged in this work for decades. Some for months, weeks, days. We have seen new comrades join the struggle, excited to find community, a place to grow and organize - for many, a chosen family. And we have been heartbroken to see beloved comrades go.

Every member of our community has a profound impact on us all. Our actions, noticed and not, all add up to the solidarity and love that make our lives together so precious. That unsteadiness and uncertainty can feel relentless, but we know that in order to continue the fight that brought us together, we must care for one another. And so we will.

To those that are no longer on the ground with us, know that we will carry the torch for you always.

We love you, we miss you, we will keep fighting for you.
