Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS: The right to a decent job that pays a living wage The right to quality health care The right to a complete education The right to affordable housing The right to a clean environment The right to a secure retirement -Bernie Sanders

It's a little slower going so far, but that's ok! We're about 20% to our goal for moms and dads at Cook County Jail--thank you-- and no doubt it will pick up soon. Find info, and donation options here: bit.ly/HolidaySolidarity2025

We are off to slightly slower start this season, which is understandable, given national boycotts, multiple mutual support drives, not to mention higher prices on everything. For those who are able to support the drive, we have made an alternative registry: bit.ly/HolidaySolidarityKohls

Since 2014, incarcerated parents have been able to choose gifts for their kids and surprise them during holiday visits. The best gift of all will be to bring their parents home. Until then, we can do this: bit.ly/HolidaySolidarity2025

Let's show parents and kids separated by incarceration that they are not forgotten this holiday season. Learn more: bit.ly/HolidaySolidarity2025

Thank you for anything you do in support of families impacted by incarceration, including the annual Holiday Solidarity Drive. If you are boycotting Target & Amazon, we have a few options, including a Kohl's registry: www.kohls.com/babyregistry... Find more options here: forms.gle/57aMxGGNPg6c...

The annual holiday solidarity let's incarcerated parents and their kids know that they are not forgotten, but ensuring moms & dads inside can give gifts to their kids during holiday visits. Join us! www.target.com/gift-registr...

A community of care sent 1,152 donations to parents incarcerated in Cook County Jail. Today parents inside will give school supplies to their kids during visits. Let's keep showing love as we work to abolish all forms of incarceration & fund communities! Thank you!!

Thank you for over 960 notebooks, folders, crayons, pencils, scissors & more! We have just a few items left on the #Back2School list, but need to ship them to Cook County Jail by 5pm in order for supplies to arrive in time for Thursday's visits with parents and kids www.target.com/gift-registr...

Thank you for over 900 donations of notebooks, folders, crayons, etc! We have one more day to finish the list so that supplies arrive in time for next week's visits. www.target.com/gift-registr...

Many thanks to all who've donated and/or shared your platforms to support the #Back2SchoolChi drive so parents inside Cook County Jail can give school supplies to their kids during an extra special visit next Thursday! We have 1 day left to get supplies there in time! www.target.com/gift-registr...

We already have 854 supplies + gift certificates to purchase items we run short on. THANK YOU! We'd love to get about 75 more (.50) folders & a few more items by Monday 8/11, so parents can share them during next week's visits. It means a lot. Thank you. www.target.com/gift-registr...

We're at 75% of the #Back2School goal for families impacted by incarceration. Kids will be having an extra special visit next Thursday, at which their moms & dads will give them their school supplies. www.target.com/gift-registr... Thank you for making it happen!

Cook County Jail pop recently rose above 6,000. This is the highest its population has been since 2022 and does NOT correlate to any increase in crime rate, but rather the policies of the new Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke. This trend will also drive in increase in IDOC pop.

We're over halfway to our #Back2School goal! Thanks to you moms & dads inside CCJ will still be able to give needed supplies to their kids, along w/ notes of encouragement on their first day back. Thank you! www.target.com/gift-registr... Special thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social!

Please consider donating through bit.ly/Back2SchoolChi so that parents currently incarcerated in Cook County Jail can still give badly needed school supplies to their kids. Let's work to close the 1.6 Billion dollar CPS budget shortfall by investing in struggling communities #NoNewPrisons

t's so important people are talking about the violence of detention & deportation. It's terrorizing & horrific. BUT, the reason it's happening to a growing number of people who "should be" excluded, is that we accepted it could happen at all. NO ONE should be deported. Deportation should not be.

Just a reminder that if we build it, we will find a way to fill it. Filling it is the point. #NoNewPrisons

Woot! Get that on your radi-calendar! #FreeOurMoms #NoMorePrisons #NoMoreDeportations #NoMoreGenocide bit.ly/FreeOurMomsD...

Hope you can join us! Mamahood is a riot. bit.ly/FreeOurMomsDay2025

It's that time of year again! Hope to see you there!

putting on my list to call in a little bit, you can too -- remember we're doing one thing to build mutual aid and systems to help each other survive every single day.

@afscme.bsky.social nationally, you represent nearly 100,000 corrections employees. You have union members who are freezing inside Logan prison too.

Hello, friends! Please, please take a few minutes to make two crucial calls in support of our the people who are freezing--without heat or hot water-- inside Logan prison. If you can, please report back any response you received from either office. Solidarity!

Criminalized survivors are people who refuse to drown in order to prove their innocence. That makes them witches. And what we really need is a coven.

Every year, Moms United Against Violence and Incarceration organize a Holiday Solidarity Toy Drive for children of mothers incarcerated prisons in Chicago. @mskellymhayes.bsky.social spoke with @momsunitedchicago.bsky.social's director of organizing, Holly Krig.

One of my favorite holiday traditions is supporting the Holiday Solidarity Toy Drive, organized by @momsunitedchicago.bsky.social. Here, I talk to organizer Holly Krig about MUAVI’s efforts to support families separated by incarceration and how you can help. (Let's buy some toys, fam.)

We've nearly reached our goal for moms at Logan! We've had a request for one more group of moms who are transitioning home in Chicago, so if you haven't had a chance to donate yet, here it is! Thank you! bit.ly/holidaysolidarity11

Gift list for incarcerated parents to give to their kids during holiday visits, please help if you can this year 🎁

Below is a photo a some of the wish list forms filled about by moms and their kids during yesterday's Reunification Ride visit inside Logan prison. We'll need about 50 more gifts before we call it a wrap! Thank you! bit.ly/holidaysolidarity11

Toys are as much as 50% off today! Registry: bit.ly/holidaysolidarity11. We need just 28 more toys & teen gifts for moms at Fox Valley. Then we'll wrap with Reunification Ride kids whose moms are in Logan prison. Thank you for all you do! Info: bit.ly/HolidaySolidarityInfo

We need just 40 more toys & teen gifts from the registry so mamas at Fox Valley have presents for their kids. On Saturday we'll take requests from moms at Logan & ship gifts to kids next week--from mom--via your solidarity! Thank you for your beautiful support!! Registry: bit.ly/holidaysolidarity11
