hater-of-terfs:Last week, the free pantry outside the Birmingham Free Store was smashed and all of its contents destroyed. We don’t want to say it was the cops, but everyone’s pretty sure it was the cops - they had been spotted eyeing the store and taking pictures multiple times leading up to this, likely pissed off by the banner we had put up in support of George Floyd + all of the anti-cop and openly anarchist literature we distributeWithin 24 hours we had received a new, even bigger pantry and more donations than we knew what to do with so we could stock it back up. We’re showing them that we’re not intimidated and we’re not going anywhere. We have the community on our sideIf you want to support queer-affirming mutual aid and reproductive justice in a historically poor and Black neighborhood in Alabama, donate to the Free Store!!! We’re on both patreon and venmo at @bhamfreestore - the patreon covers supplies and running costs, and the venmo is a virtual tip jar that compensates the volunteers who keep it running -- source link
