It isn’t always time for poetry. When the Speaker of the House reads a poem on the day the Supreme Court overturns Roe, it makes me ashamed to be a poet. But only for a moment. As always, poetry is not “the work;” the work is organizing: supporting abortion funds, joining mutual aid groups, and showing up for one another (see previous two posts).⁣ Talked about this in the previous post here too, but one of the best antidotes to panic and despair is to find the people doing the work (as opposed to just commenting on the work), and figure out ways to support them. Raising money isn't the answer to every problem, but in this moment, there is actually an immediate need for donations- not to politicians or planned parenthood, but to local abortion funds. ⁣ Evergreen reminder that, in times of crisis, look to the people who are doing the work. We can share hot takes and commentary, outrage and venting, but let's not forget to lift up and signal boost the organizers who have been fighting, and will continue fighting. Image text:⁣
