A US Senator defends racism in the military. Stand up to him. Support your elected officials who condemn his racist behavior and push back on the companies who fund his political campaigns.

This may sound goofy, but I'm looking for some political t-shirts to wear on stage when my band performs (it feels like the very least I can do). For the past decade, I've been wearing a shirt that says "believe survivors of sexual assault" - I want to add others into the rotation.

Some topics or causes I am into:
* protect trans kids / trans rights
* something anti-fascist
* something anti-racist (I think "black lives matter" is good, is there something else?)
* something about protecting abortion rights

Designs should be relatively easy to read from a distance. Bonus points if the shirt is made/sold by a member of the community it's representing/uplifting (e.g. a "protect trans kids" shirt is made by a trans person). Also more bonus points if the shirts are not the athletic "slim fit" - I'm old and kinda big.

I've found a few things on Etsy, but honestly, most of the designs don't appeal to me. What are some other sources?

#AntiRacistAction #ARA Four Points of Unity

1. We go where they go. Whenever fascists are organizing or active in public, we’re there. We don’t believe in ignoring them or staying away from them. Never let the Nazis have the street!

Books take a long time to put together, from idea to writing and editing to design and then print. And it’s often unclear when one first ventures to put pen to paper whether the finished book will make sense when it’s done.

Sometimes, though, a book comes into the world at precisely the moment when it’s not only extra relevant but also extra essential. Such is the case with “We Go Where They Go: The Story of Anti-Racist Action” (PM Press), coauthored by Shannon Clay, Lady, Kristin Schwartz, and Michael Staudenmaier, with foreword by Gord Hill, published after some three years of labor of love.

Not that it’s good that fascism is so bad, we sorely need books like this. But given that fascism must be fought yet again, it’s imperative to understand how others in the recent past practiced in communal defense and solidarity, and take seriously—as this book does—their successes and losses.

I was honored a year or so ago to be asked to blurb this book, so got a sneak preview of its contents via a rough draft manuscript. Yesterday, the book itself arrived in my mailbox, and it’s even more impressive and compelling, including because its pages are overflowing with images of historical documents like posters, newspapers, flyers, and other DIY, antifascist propaganda (sample page pictured here).

As encouragement to get the book as part of your own antifascist arsenal, here’s my blurb:

“‘History,’ as ‘The Story of Anti-Racist Action’ observes, ‘is a weapon.’ Yet in this timely, much-needed book, set against the backdrop of today’s resurgent fascism, it is far more than that. History is a teachable, or learnable, moment. History is remembrance, or never forgetting, and honoring our dead. Most important, history is possibility. Because as the authors and many ARA participants so ably demonstrate on these pages, and with such clear-eyed insights, those who collectively self-organize and take direct action can make history—a people’s history of courage and solidarity. And thus this engaging history is a compass, guiding us away from unnecessary perils and pitfalls, and toward potentialities for not only community self-defense but also community care.”

I love my local bar. I’m there, having a beer and reading. I came back from the bathroom and one of the regulars asks me about the book I’m reading. She’d eyed it while I was gone. I explain how Anti-Racist Action was founded here in Minneapolis and friends are quoted in the book. She proceeded to ask if she could take a picture of it so she can find it.
