📣 EDUCATE. AGITATE. ORGANIZE.

Tomorrow is election day, and we know the stakes are high. For years, we’ve been organizing toward a future where we all have what we need to thrive. We’ve struggled together, educated each other, and raised our collective voices. This work must continue long after the election.

No matter what happens tomorrow, community is the answer and organizing is the path forward. We encourage you to take care of your mental health in the coming days and weeks. We will share resources to our stories as we come across them.
