Check In 7 July

[tanaqui]

The focus in the comm for the last couple of weeks has been on refugee and immigrant detentions and the appalling treatment and conditions in the camps. We have lots of ongoing actions -- see the links below.

Also, why not tell us in the comments what you've been doing? (Were you able to go to a MoveOn protest?) We can admire and applaud your efforts -- and maybe get inspired to get involved with your causes as well.

(And if you want a little light relief, I spent far too long the other evening giggling at the #revolutionarywarairports hashtag.)
