C.R.E.A.M is just one component of 400+1’s ongoing efforts to build an alternative, solidarity economy through which revolution can be funded; an institution that further frees communities of color from reliance on the capitalist economy. Folx selected for C.R.E.A.M. during this stage will serve on a steering committee as core leadership of the organization. That steering committee will help members of Indigenous, Pan-Asian, and Latinx communities establish economic justice initiatives that grow the capacities of individual members of said communities to engage the struggle for the liberation of colonized people. 400+1 will host an orientation and retreat for new C.R.E.A.M. members from Saturday, September 4th until Monday, September 6th at its housing cooperative in Houston, Texas. We have a few spaces still available, so folx interested in attending should contact us at [email protected] for more information.

[Taken from the #400and1 Newsletter: ]

400+1 is extremely excited to announce the launch of C.R.E.A.M (Capitalism Ruins Everything Around Me)

C.R.E.A.M. is a membership organization positioned within 400+1’s constellation of L4 organizations. The objective of C.R.E.A.M is to leverage cooperative industry to build economic power and solidarity among colonized people in partnership with 400+1’s L3 communities. C.R.E.A.M. initiatives are part cooperative businesses of which members are owners and part political education programs that raise the consciousness of the masses. These cooperatives are kickstarted with contributions from the 400+1 federation and members are enrolled in an extensive political education program that informs their grassroots outreach.

It also prioritizes pleasure and sex as integral to reproductive health. 400+1 believes that Black bodies, Black babies, and Black wombs aren’t safe from assaults by the state until care and services for each are available outside of for profit and state funded institutions. While we’re a long way from that future, we know that every change begins with a catalyst.

Our repro pop-ups are opportunities for Black folx to learn about repro revolution as a framework, to access reproductive health care products, and to grow their capacity for reproductive autonomy. Watching Jordan Walton’s mother navigate her grief, makes it crystal clear that #JusticeforJordan has always been a reproductive rallying cry. We want to be sure we’re making the intersections explicit.

Don’t forget to pull up to Jordan’s Place this Saturday at 7:30 pm for dinner and demonstration. As always, reparations will be distributed to all Black participants.

#400and1

Why would I want this? Here is an Example:

I think #400and1 does a lot of good things, I would like to keep up to date with (and maybe also boost / talk about...).

But the seem to post manly on #instagram, which is ok, I just don't go check there often. ( #biblogram: https://bibliogram.art/u/400and1 ).
If I could have those insta posts as toots, that would be nice!

@tommy

Ergänzend, ebenfalls aus dem Podcast bzw. meiner Erinnerung: sie bitten auch die Gentrifier, die in #OrishaLand leben, entweder #reparations zu zahlen oder eben wieder weg zu ziehen.

@tommy es gab was dazu, ja, aber ein bisschen vage: der non-profit-industrial complex hat ein schlechtes Gewissen(?), darum ist es möglich daraus funding zu ziehen und für die eigenen Zwecke einzusetzen.

Außerdem - weiß nicht ob das auch im podcast war - gibt es eine Ally-Organisation: #theallyship: https://www.theallyship.org/navigate

Weiße Allys zahlen #Reperationen, 19 $ im Monat. So können jeweils 33 Allys eine Schwarze Revolutionärin finanzieren.
