“We’ve survived bad Presidents before, like the Reagan Administration”

So why are all of our elders in the LGBT lesbians… those least likely to contract HIV?

Where are all of our dissidents over 40?

Where did the MOVE collective and the Black Panther Party go?

Did we survive? Or did you survive?

This ^^^^. Some people in the UK say the same “chill, it’s not the end of the world”. Well, not for you mate, with your British citizenship and your middle-class safety net. But do you know how many people are ALREADY being affected by years of Tory government and now will be affected by the rise of xenophobic/racist/hate discourses after Brexit?

Neoliberal policies kill people. Benefits cuts have led to a rise in suicides and in people relying on food banks. Changes in inmigration law have destroyed families, mainly working class families of colour. Police brutality continues to be a problem that no one wants to see or address (“anyway, that only happens in the States, isn’t it?”).

Don’t let them fool you: they’re coming for us. Get organise and fight back.
