This short but sweet episode of the has one big message: direct aid is the best support you can give this holiday season (and always!)
🎄
Big “charities” have a lot of overhead that cuts into how much of your donation goes to the folks who need it, and some of them are seriously problematic (lookin at you, S*lv*tion *rmy) But your neighbors are still in need, and having local support systems in place is crucial to manifesting a post-capitalist community!
🕯
Here in Salem we’re all about so in the spirit of the giving season we’d like to introduce *drumroll* SOLIDARITY SUNDAY! Until 6pm on Sunday 12/12 drop off item donations to the store OR send $$$ directly to their Venmo/cashapp, show us proof at [email protected], and you’ll be entered in a raffle for some Witch the Vote X HausWitch goodies! Slide through for all the donation deets. Let’s get some wealth into the right hands this winter!

Calling all Salem witches! Tonight at 5:30 the city of Salem + Salem PD are hosting a virtual “Use of Force Town Hall” with a public q&a segment. This is NOT skippable. It’s a small step towards abolition + rebuilding, but it is crucial that we show up to be heard or there might not be a next step until we can elect a rad new city council NEXT fall.
Luckily the good folx over at have put together a set of questions that you can submit ahead of time OR ask in person. Don’t hesitate to ask just because someone else might have- the other side sure doesn’t! Qs below and in our stories, link to info for submitting questions + tuning in exactly where you’d expect it.
