Check In 1 September

[tanaqui]

How is it September already? I hope you're all having a good Labor Day weekend and that anyone in the path of Hurricane Dorian stays safe.

We've had a few new actions in the past couple of weeks that are listed below. And with another mass shooting in Texas yesterday, our ongoing actions relating to gun control are still sadly relevant. As, of course, are our our actions relating to migrants and refugees, with reports of further ways people are being targeted and mistreated.

Please also tell us in the comments what you've been doing! It's great to hear about all the amazing things our members are involved in and a chance for you to inspire others to join in.

New Actions

Use #Nogoatsnoregistries To Push Back Against Calls For Institutions, Registries
Planned Parenthood Has Been Forced Out Of The Title X Program
Take The Senate (Fund)

Ongoing Actions

Action: Comment Against Snap Rule Change
Some gun control resources (in a previous check in post)
Help Sleeping Giants contact firms profiting off of concentration camps
Suggested Things To Do For/About U.S. Concentration Camps
More Organizations To Support Helping Kids In Concentration Camps
Acting Locally To Help Immigrants And Refugees

So, what have you all been up to in the last week or are planning to get involved in next week?

For any Aussies here, I have a post with actions that can be taken towards helping a Tamil family who've been living quietly in Australia for five years be allowed to remain here by special dispensation of the Immigration Minister.
