Every #DirectAction #activist owns at least one solid bolt cutter tool. It's like an essential part of the #frontliners starter kit.

#RainbowNation #Resistance.

With #SisterFriends at frontlines. Warrior POC women against ongoing colonial ecocide. I had not slept for 3 days & had not bathed in 8 days at that time. I was chaining myself to bridge & other infrastructure for over a week. I had experienced over 50 RCMP CIRG raids by this time & refused to stop fighting back. We, war survivors, do not back down from colonial forces easily.

2021, from the frontlines.

A dear frontliner friend of ours is in need in the last 2 weeks of their pregnancy. They fight for this world, the least we can do is help them in this time of life and joy.

Emergency Birth Funds Needed
"welcoming finnian ojo del toro
run into this world"

welcoming FINNIAN OJO DEL TORO RUN into this world due date: 9/5/24

Two frontliners were working with grant-funded midwives for 8 months and suddenly, without a meaningful explanation, the midwives terminated care, just two weeks before the due date.

The frontliners have built a birthing lodge and are prepared to bring this baby into this world in a sacred way, respecting indigenous traditions. But they want to do it safely with experienced midwifery care on hand. They are now connected with a network of midwives but they live in a remote area, so to engage new care is a very costly transition that they do not have the time to fund on their own, which may involve long distance travel for them or for a midwife to come to them.

How do we stop this from happening to people? How do we create accountability in the birth world and beyond?

For now with this short time frame we ask that you please support as much as you can monetarily to fund these unforeseen birthing costs, and please share widely.

In 1863, Alexander T. Augusta became the first African-American commissioned as a medical officer in the Union Army and was awarded the rank of major. He was eventually put in charge of his own hospital during the Civil War. He was 1 of 13 African American doctors to serve.

This week, I'll be sharing stories of #frontliners from history. From world wars to past pandemics, these are the unsung heroes who worked tirelessly to keep others safe during troubling times.

Let's start with the 9 firefighters of the Honolulu Fire Department who were killed at Pearl Harbor after rushing to Hickam Field Air Force Base during the attack. In 1944, they were awarded the Purple Heart, becoming the only civilian firefighters to receive this award. #histodon #mastodon #histmed
