The Kingston community is BUSY! WE TAKE CARE OF US!
Don't let people get away with comments about crime and drug addiction without countering with the STRENGTH OF MUTUAL AID IN KINGSTON: food, clothing, therapy, housing, cop watching, legal, education and information.
People don't know what we do because we're not grand standing with photo ops. That's why these people use the death of children by gun violence as a "what about" argument when we protest against police murder.
WE KNOW WHAT WE DO!
We are all on this train and we can't get off now. We know we're moving right because we are getting backlash from all directions.
Between the gentrification of Kingston and the pushback against police reform, we are feeling the pressure!
