Navigating the limitations of pandemic organizing forced us to collectively reroute, recalibrate, and reevaluate how we engage and/or sustain connections with our base. Southern Organizing is known for birthing the most beautiful modalities of revolution between sips of sweet tea—as we commune with our kin atop wrapped porches-the moment soundtracked by mating cicadas and humming humidity.
Contrary to the beliefs of many, the pandemic is still ever-present; however, some of the limitations have shifted, and with plows in hand, SONG is back in the field-with hearts and minds positioned and ready to till the soil and rekindle the Kindred.

Boycotts are a tool for liberation—if we boycott right.

Support the BDS movement and help raise awareness for our carefully selected list of companies to boycott due to their complicity in Israel’s , apartheid and settler-colonialism. It’s the only list you need to share.

"Mask bans, even when supposedly aimed at bad actors like the K*K, will never make us safer, and they will invariably be invoked to target the most marginalized and to derail protest movements. Beyond protests, these laws muddy the waters around public health."

On May 26, we witnessed Israeli occupation forces commit one of their most brutal atrocities in Gaza in recent months. Four days after directing displaced Palestinians to move to a designated “safe zone” in Rafah, Israel dropped 2,000 lb US-made bunker bombs onto the refugee tent camp, murdering at least 50 Palestinians. The images and reports from that night of human beings, adults and little babies, torn apart and burned alive, are seared into our memories.

We see clearly who is responsible for these massacres. For the last eight months, our government has armed and facilitated a genocide by the Israeli military that has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians, just as the US and Western countries have aided 76 years of occupation and ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

We are witnessing life being desecrated in Gaza. We will not turn away. We will not stop demanding an end to genocide, an end to occupation, an end to the criminalization of protest, and an end to colonization everywhere. We refuse to be made numb, to let our spirits be twisted by all that we cannot and should not unsee. The pain that resounds within us also rings with clarity. The heartbreak that feels like it is splitting us in two is opening up chambers containing the reserves we need to affirm life. Within the fruit of our rage are also the seeds of hope.
