If you want to get involved in workplace and community organizing and the fight for justice and workers’ rights in the American South, you gotta check out the Southern Coordinating Committee of the Industrial Workers of the World!

Founded in 2017, the SCC helps to coordinate work and fosters local initiatives to organize workplaces, incarcerated workers, and our communities.

The following IWW General Membership Branches and GDC Locals are affiliated with the SCC:

Just point your Netscape Navigator or whatever it is the teens are using nowadays over to http://wobsouth.info/contact/ and you can get involved, too!

I really love that the SCC emblem is Scream At Own Ass Possum, that’s so good

Update:

I’m humbled by the huge response this post has gotten, and I figure it’s time for an update on the situation. Mongabay has two great articles with information on both the current state of the Batang Toru dam and Tapanuli orangutans themselves:

- Dam that threatens orangutan habitat faces three-year delay

- Historical data point to ‘imminent extinction’ of Tapanuli orangutan

And although the situation may seem bleak, we cannot give up the fight for these apes and the habitat they call home. I encourage you all to check out the following sites for more information and ways you can help:

When’s the last time some white folks were held at gunpoint because they didn’t make a reservation for somewhere? Ever? Just asking.

How fucking pathetic is our society when her being fired for this is some kind of victory? She pulled a goddamn GUN on them, she should be in fucking JAIL.

And yes MLK said all the quotes above. The sanitized version and image most have of him is wholly false.

“I would have never snitched on Anne Frank! Anyway, here’s a person I’m related to at the capitol!”

Hey I don’t know if you know this but snitching on someone for storming the capitol with intent to kill someone is not the same as snitching on someone for the crime of… *checks notes* being a jewish child
