Saturday morning our team was able to buy out 2 vendors so they could go home. We then passed out tamales to our neighbors in La Villita and Pilsen. Shout out to the volunteers that sit with these vendors in the mornings to make sure they are safe and protected! We keep us safe. ✊🏽

Anyone skate Graceland cemetery? Is there any pushback from staff like there is with cycling it?

If you’re printing the Pilsen Arts & Community House zines for whistles and folding them yourself, here’s a little folding demo. No sound, so hopefully you can follow along.

Saw the Japanese movie Happyend at the Gene Siskel Film Center tonight, if you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. Very prescient themes about surveillance, xenophobia, and governments using safety as an excuse for overreach and oppression.
