#AbolishICE

I'm going all out this August!

Fascist groups are rallying across the nation this month. People have been killed, injured, and ceaselessly harassed by neo-Nazis and law enforcement agencies across the nation.

For the last month I've been organizing with the #AbolishICE movement. We've been demanding that stolen children be returned to their families while showing solidarity and support for detained and deported families. We've created a national network of activists coordinating together.

My boss was cool enough to lay me off so I can organize for a few months. I have until November to give this all I can.

At the #DefendPDX action last Saturday, August 4th, I was gifted a round trip ticket to the east coast.  <3 This allows me to attend the upcoming Charlottesville and D.C. counter-rallies. I'll be able to connect and organize with activists on the ground in each of these regions before returning to Seattle. As well as cfeate unbiased independent media coverage that shows you what really happens to activists on the ground when cops protect violent racists. I am dedicated to going in close on the front lines and bringing back a real story.

I began this journey with the intention of traveling to PDX, Cville and D.C. The goal; to strengthen, support, and grow activist networks that oppose racism and stand in the way of violent nationalists being defended by the state.

I was not financially prepared for this trip. Realistically, I wouldn't be going if it weren't for the help of other benefactors that believe in me, my vision, and my dedication to helping organize national solidarity networks that support and defend marginalized communities. Despite, my financial reality, I couldn't say no to this opportunity.

All funds raised through this campaign will be used for food, travel, and incidentals. I will be posting livestreams, videos, pictures, and updates on my personal Facebook page, as well as in the #OurResistance Facebook group so you can follow these actions, and the course of the movement we're building together across the nation. Thank you for taking the time to read through the details.

I'm humbly asking anyone in support of this endeavor to donate whatever you can to help me travel, eat, and take care of others along the way. Even $5 would help. If you can't, please consider giving it a share with someone who might support it.

In solidarity,

Evan
