Image Description 3: A radical community newspaper called The Dispatch is running a headline for July 2026 titled “Collectively Breaking Free From 250 Years of Oppressive Structures. Below the headline is a quote from an abolitionist penpal collective called Power Blossoms. The quote reads:"The prison-industrial complex, with its roots in chattel slavery pre-dating the United States, works relentlessly to rip apart communities and target those already most marginalized in our society. By building connections over prison walls through penpaling, Power Blossoms resists attempts to isolate LGBTQ+ people from one another. Any movement that seeks to destroy oppressive power structures must center prisoner resistance, most especially including the movement for trans and queer liberation."

Below the headline is a quote from a antiracist community care organization called The Valley of Change. The quote reads:"The Valley of Change pushes back against oppressive systems by showing up every single day since May 31, 2020 through peaceful protest, standing visibly with our community to demand accountability and affirm that Black lives matter in the face of police brutality and systemic harm. Alongside that, we practice care in real time through mutual aid by providing food, clothing, hygiene kits, and essential support—while also building long-term stability through wellness programming and a financial literacy and career pathways program that helps people access certifications, build resumes, and secure critical documents for housing and employment."

Image Description 1: A radical community newspaper called The Dispatch is running a headline for July 2026 titled “Collectively Breaking Free From 250 Years of Oppressive Structures. Below the headline is a quote from an unhoused mutual aid collective called Aetna Street Solidarity. The quote reads: "Aetna Street Solidarity is a mutual aid organization actively building power with poor and unhoused people to change the material conditions created by settler colonialism and capitalism. Our members reclaim space by living on the street and holding regular community events where resources are redistributed in public without permission. We resist the routine displacement of sweeps, and rebuild in the aftermath of the state-sanctioned violence that intends to make poor people disappear."
