Tomorrow night is gonna be a banger!!

We feed us.

Let’s STOCK THE COMMONS!! We needed to spend $500 to replace a leaky gasket on one of our freezers. Can you help us recoup those funds? $1, $5, $10, $500… It’s the Act of Solidarity that matters. WE FEED US!!!

“So, as a result of our altogether common experience of separateness we think that is what we fundamentally are. It becomes our reality, and the only way to then understand ourselves and others is comparatively--as perhaps greater (or lesser) than others, or than we imagine we should be… Cont.

Maximum Solidarity Monday!! Every week we invite solidarity from the community to fund our food access programs. Have you contributed before? Then invite others to join you! Have you never contributed? $1, $5, $10, whatever! We feed us!!! Venmo: @Chef-Collective-1123 CashApp: $ChefCollective1123

If you don’t have $7, then just repost this. Solidarity > charity.

WE FEED US.

We feed us!!! Solidarity and reciprocity prioritizing secure, equitable, and regenerative networks for distributing the essential resources of existence to ALL in our communities is our future. A future which rejects and innovates past the violence and mediocrity of a failed status quo.

Stop by the ZCC this week! Tuesdays 11a-8p. Thursdays 1-3p & 5-8p! Be nourished!!

Ya gotta love how Instagram is so much better for building mutual aid and direct action than @bsky.app Nothing against the team running this, but the lack of real life impact from the users will keep us on Meta platforms, because if we only posted here, our neighbors wouldn’t eat.

1641 more $1 Acts of Solidarity away from this week’s goal!! Single Dollar Solidarity SUNDAY!!! Share the post. Tag 5 friends. Stand up in solidarity with $1. WE FEED US!!! #foodjustice #mutualaction #localfoodisessential #minnesota #mysaintpaul #community #love

Did you know that we have a community cargo bike at the ZCC? Stop by during hours of service or prep and learn more about borrowing it!!

91 more $25 acts of solidarity away from matching one neighbor’s incredibly compassionate and selflessly generous solidarity!! Learn more here: www.patreon.com/posts/123913... @frederickmelo.bsky.social @startribune.com @governorwalz.mn.gov @smith.senate.gov #foodjustice #mutualaid WE FEED US!!!

$1 FRIDAY!!! WE FEED US!!!

$1 contributed in solidarity from 2000 neighbors is far more impactful and inspiring than $2000 donated in charity by one individual. Let’s fund one day of distribution and community building with dollar bills. Do you have $1? Can you share this post? Can you text a friend?

And it is amusing how many will see this, but dismiss it; believing that $1 is inconsequential. Of course, those dismissing it are also those who dismiss solidarity and collective action.

It’s a collection of posts. Read the comments.

www.twincities.com/2025/02/25/j... This community has stood up and SHOWN UP!!! The solidarity of cooperative, community-led mutual action has increased EVERY WEEK since USDA grant funding was frozen. COMMUNITIES MOVE FASTER THAN CONGRESS!! @frederickmelo.bsky.social

Back on the our Thursday shit. Thank you to the community for making this happen. You can sit with us.

It’s not the super wealthy who are most threatening. It is the prostrated wannabes who do the work of validating and encouraging the wealthy for the fleeting promise of adjacency who are most frightening. They are the ones who will stab you in the back if they think it will bring them brief favor.

St. Paul. Warming house. Groceries and meals. Hot tea, coffee, electrolyte powder. Public restrooms. Clean socks and gloves. WE CARE FOR US!! @frederickmelo.bsky.social

“Wealth is much too expensive.” A thread of photos.

We don’t need $1 million, we need 1 million neighbors with $1. Active, direct action & solidarity > performative complaint. #foodjustice @profgalloway.com @rbreich.bsky.social @mitrajunjalali.bsky.social @leighfinke.bsky.social @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov @mutualaidvoid.bsky.social

From Zion’s Pastor, John Marboe, in his invitation to gather email from yesterday, 02/15/25. Directly support Zion’s food access and community building efforts here: secure.myvanco.com/L-Z8XC/campa... #religion #christianity #theology

Can we get 10k reposts? Can we get 100k neighbors to stand in solidarity with a $1 Act of Solidarity? Are people doing talking and ready to get to creating the alternatives? Read the handbook this community is writing: patreon.com/TheCollectiveOpenMarket Let’s get going!!!

If we stop posting on Meta platforms, neighbors starve, local farmers and food resources aren’t supported. If you see this here on @bsky.app and are moved to contribute, let us know that it was because of this platform. Thank you.

We don’t need $1800/week. We need 46,800 neighbors who can contribute $2/month. secure.myvanco.com/L-Z8XC/campa...

This is our reality right now. The truth. The USDA funded grant the ZCC was awarded last fall provided an incredible opportunity to expand and improve our food access programs. Cont…

304 monthly sustaining now. 250 more $10/month patrons, and we will be consistently hosting two Open Markets a week at the ZCC. Build our own future. Create our own “something better”. WE FEED US!!! @frederickmelo.bsky.social @smith.senate.gov @mitrajunjalali.bsky.social @leighfinke.bsky.social

Awesome!!! Here’s a great handbook this community has been writing to model how communities can care for each other: patreon.com/TheCollectiveOpenMarket

We appreciate that the standard, American status quo is to just act like complaint & pointing out the obviously harmful and corrupted is now viewed as brave activism. But it’s not. It’s apathetic & privileged laziness. For REAL solutions, you can stand with us: patreon.com/TheCollectiveOpenMarket

The absurdity of a clown like @mcuban.bsky.social (who has invested in cancer causing, community and family destroying liquor companies), thinks anyone would be fooled by this false sympathy is hilarious. You can’t say you care about public health while profiting off of making people sick.

Venmo: @Chef-Collective-1123 CashApp: $ChefCollective1123 Thursday afternoons are primarily funded by the Tuesday Community Dinners, contributions that have come in to Zion Lutheran to support the Food & Wellness Program, and since October, the Local Food Purchasing Assistance Program grant.
