IWQ's tabling on the 31st Ave Open Street today was rained out, and very likely will be tomorrow because of the storm! We will keep you posted and see you either tomorrow or next week.

📣Today's call to action: All elected officials must sound the alarm about Trump’s unhinged weaponization of the US military against the American public…Please call both Senator Schumer and Gillibrand to tell them to condemn the use of the military to police Americans. Like if you made the calls!

Federal attacks on our cities aren’t about safety; they’re about power. We won’t stand by while our city and communities are targeted.

IWQ along with over 100 unions, faith leaders, and community groups have joined together to say: Hands Off NYC!

Together, we can win: HandsOffNYC.com

📣Today's call to action: Tell your House Representative to haul in FCC Chair Brendan Car to testify under oath about this corrupt crackdown on dissent. Even though Kimmel is back on the air, Carr needs to be held accountable. Give this post a like if you make the call!

Makers who want to help but only have time at weird hours… and maybe find traditional events too people-y… you can still help! I made this zine library cabinet for organizing events with @indivisiblequeens.bsky.social!!

A wooden cabinet with plexiglass front door; it has 4 internal shelves holding on the bottom shelf brochures in English, Arabic & Spanish on the bottom shelf re: Beyond Your Rights from newsanctuarynsc.org, on the next shelf a half page on ‘Men Impersonating ICE’, a quarter page on ‘Arms Embargo Now’ (held in place by a rock painted with the slogan ‘no justice, no peace’), and business cards in English & Spanish from NYCLU on ‘5 things to do if ICE stops you’; next shelf up is a zine of unclear title related to ICE, yellow bilingual ‘know your rights’ cards (English/Spanish) & English & Spanish quarter pagers advertising a ‘Stand Against ICE’ event on Sep 27 11am in Astoria, location TBA; top shelf is multilingual zines on Mass Deportation and also on voting.
