I just spent the day leading a zine folding. We folded 2000 of @meganpiont.bsky.social 's "We Marched; Now What?" zines to give out at No Kings. Find an event near you, and then pick a next step from the zine.

I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!

If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.

Portland’s “most famous unipiper” means that there are less famous Portland unipipers.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.
