There is a time to rest, to prepare, to act, and a place for ALL of us to care for each other. This past year many have responded in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and a powerful call to action from the Movement for Black Lives. We have witnessed yet again the power of community uprisings, despite the extremely violent reaction by the police state. Within the uprising, we also hear the voices of our Black Queer & Trans sisters who struggle and resist police violence, anti-black violence, transphobia, erasure, and isolation in our communities every day.
 
We have formed a working group to collectively gather funds and items to prepare and distribute care packages to Black Queer, Trans, NB, GNC, and cis-women compas who reside or have ties to the occupied lands known as El Paso/Cd. Juarez. We are also including comrades who are in ICE detention centers or incarcerated by the state. We stand in solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives and their demands, and our project is a collective solidarity effort at the local level. We are thankful to those willing to join in this collaborative labor of resistance. Your offerings - whether they be small or large - will go a long way in creating care packages for our local Black compas.
