Hi y’all! While we are a group of young Black organizers trying to bring about change, we are NOT an official BLM chapter yet. In the mean time, the other progressive Black-led group we support is @pplsbudgetbako, we HIGHLY recommend going to follow them and supporting them.

If you are able to show up to protests, we welcome it. If not there are MANY ways to help a movement. DM us if you want to help, especially if you’re a Black abolitionist voice here in Kern.

Trump rioters swarmed us after a large caravan, beat protesters, and cops and SWAT moved in calling *us* and unlawful assembly

In spite of a record year of climate disruption, the Bureau of Land Management wants to open up public lands in Kern County for oil and gas operations. Join us today @ 5:30 to learn about to engage on this issue. We have to stop them. Register: buff.ly/3krThfI
Over 100 social and environmental-justice organizations have taken a stand against Kern County’s planned expansion of oil and gas extraction. These new oil wells could be within just a few feet of homes and schools: bakersfield.com/news/county-… #standwithkern #climatejustice

Is anybody else fucking tired of hearing a sexist radio host on one of the biggest hip hop stations in Kern County? How are we in 2020 with a blatantly sexist person that would be seen as problematic by any normal HR department? Tired of hearing Romeo in the morning @hot941
