From soil to solidarity: How a Black-led collective is fighting food poverty in their communities
With decades of lived experience of being let down by the government and state, communities know that change has to come from within. This is why groups like Black Rootz have decided to take matters into their own hands.
Hello people! We are Sisi Film Collective, and this is our #introduction post. We are a #collective of #filmmakers and #storytellers based in Uganda.
At Sisi, we believe in collaboration and nurturing voices that might otherwise go unheard. Together, we create short films, poetic visuals, feature films and collaborative art projects.
We’re here to share our stories, #connect with other creatives, and discover your stories too. Let’s connect and keep the stories flowing.
National Independent Venue Alliance told #DOJ #FTC it would ultimately prefer breakup of consolidated #LiveNation arms into four separate #LiveMusic industry companies.
#NIVA filed briefs suggesting separation of the #Concert #ticketing, from the production and #advertising & #sponsorship wings, while #Artist management activities be split off as well after both federal #GOV agencies jointly requested public input on “unfair practices in the live #entertainment marketplace.”
NIVA was founded in 2020 as a #collective live music industry voice during #COVID pandemic when most #events were cancelled and staff and #venues faced dire straits financially.

“So far, the most energetic #opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country. Our leaders must follow their example. A #collective #defense of #democracy is most likely to succeed when prominent, well-funded individuals & organizations — those who are best able to absorb blows from the government — get in the game.”
I started this #collective for Black ceramic #artists in 2021 as a response to the murder of #GeorgeFloyd and the resulting, temporary Black business boom of 2020. Hearing predominantly white orgs confess that they were still “listening & learning” made me realize with renewed urgency how much we need our own resources & institutions.
The Kaabo Award sale, on 5/25 (the anniversary of Floyd’s death) is our biggest fundraiser of the year.
Take-A-Way: To fit an ocean in a cup (book launch)
"On Sunday, May 4 2025, at 2 p.m., Take-a-Way collective will present 'To fit an ocean in a cup,' a festive publication sharing the collective energy of three years of creating together! A book full of drawings, collages, and background stories about each other's personal recipes and coffee and tea rituals.
On this final day of the exhibition Underdeveloped#2 at Garage Rotterdam, the Take-a-Way shop will be open and the collective will serve coffee and snacks."

There's a data #collective called @datacoop, where a bunch of #Danes have the gumption to run their own independent bare metal. They're considering colocation even.
They have shared services and individual services, depending upon usage - and each user pays through a membership system.
There's even a cheaper tier below standard to be inclusive. It's quite inspirational.
If anyone in #Norway / #Norge would be interested in taking part in a future #datacollective, just talk to @papiris
laying the groundwork finally for my newsletter, Impure Leftist. eventually, the goal is to have a pay-what-you-can subscription model that includes access to the Anarchist Book Club.
