On this day, 24 June 1856, Russian revolutionary Anna Yakimova was born in what is now Kirov. A member of the Socialist Revolutionaries, she took part in three failed plots to assassinate the tsar, and while pregnant was arrested and sentenced to death. Following international outcry her sentence was commuted to an indefinite hard labour in Siberia. She survived the harsh conditions and was freed during the October revolution.

The Disaster of White Supremacy -
Anti-immigrant, anti-refugee, white nationalist, white supremacist, colonial violence normalized and emboldened by incessant rhetoric and subsequent policy advancement disseminated by the state, in addition to being fundamentally evil, will only make our collective survival as a human species that much harder if, or when, current projections of sea level rise, temperature rise, and historic, disastrous weather trends come to pass.
Just as in the hours, days, months and years post disaster have the potential to bridge and unite communities, which link to other communities, which link to a broader movement of solidarity based mutual aid to build resilience for the disasters we see coming in the future, so must we trudge new pathways and carve out connections between our movement and the broader movement for a better world of which we are only one small part.
