One tangible thing we local folks can do is support Project Libertad. They offer legal aid, translation services, and many other kinds of support to families impacted by 🧊 raids.

It was a huge honor to share these songs I’ve been writing in hopes of meeting the moment we’re in. May this momentum carry us back out into our communities with bravery, humility, and commitment to a more just world.

Italians held a general strike to pressure their government to act as a result of their actions.
There are a million ways to show up for one another and build a more just world, to keep this flame alive.

All these struggles across time and space are connected. Carsie Blanton, who wrote this song, was one of hundreds of international volunteers on the Global Sumud Flotillas trying to bring aid into Gaza, who were detained in Israeli prison and endured horrific treatment.

Love Letter From The Afterlife

Comfort for those grieving a loved one

Anna Spackman 🎶 @annaspackmanmusic.bsky.social · Jul 14

Andrea Gibson wrote so many love letters - to people, to dogs, to illness, to pain, to caterpillars, to the moon, to poetry, from their endless well of reverence. Their love letter from the afterlife hits deep on this day of their departure for their earthly form. Thank you for everything, Andrea 💖

There are promises we make to one another that we must keep - to witness, to care, to recognize and act on our connectedness to one another.

“What Will You Do” - Anna Spackman 2025

Anna Spackman 🎶 @annaspackmanmusic.bsky.social · Jun 10

AND. there has been enormous courage and solidarity shown by those trying to protect neighbors they see every day, or neighbors around the world they will never know. There is emerging awareness that all of these struggles, these perverse displays of disregard for human life, are connected.

Anna Spackman 🎶 @annaspackmanmusic.bsky.social · Jun 10

I wrote this almost 3 months ago. Countless abductions, raids, detentions, and disappearances have taken place across the country. Millions have been starved, displaced, or killed in Gaza. The legislation and rhetoric against trans people, queer people, Black and brown people, continues to escalate.
