Hey folks,

This newsletter edition includes an amazing resource on community defense, an appreciation of plants, and mutual aid in the formula shortage.

In solidarity, 

PSN Team

>> The Free Formula Exchange is a nationwide mutual aid network connecting families who need baby formula to people who have formula to donate. This online tool is free to use.

>> Sanctuary DMV has been fundraising to feed and house migrants being bussed to DC from the border as well as their general work in supporting immigrants and marginalized communities in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area through an Accompaniment Program and Rapid Response Network. 

Hope XYZ 

>> Hope XYZ is a youth-led, advocacy-focused storytelling nonprofit that has gone through some major shifts, and they are looking for new volunteer support staff to help them improve their operations and raise funds to launch a new set of resources for their partners in early 2023. If you personally have interest in supporting their work, or know of any individuals who might be interested, they would love to be in touch! They are looking to fill the roles of Grant Writer/Supporter and Co-Founder. While these currently are volunteer roles, we expect to have sufficient funding to be able to pay team members by early 2023. Interested? Or know someone who is? Interest can be indicated at the form at bit.ly/volunteer_hopexyz. 

Corporate Accountability   

>> Last week during World No Tobacco Day, Corporate Accountability encourage folks to call on parties to the WHO FCTC and other government leaders and public health officials to hold #BigTobacco liable for its abuses. You can learn more and add your name at https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/make-big-tobacco-pay/.

Masakåda Collective

>> Masakada Collective joined Famalao'an Rights and Guam People for Choice for their Protest Sign Making Event on April 23rd. The sign making event was for their upcoming Pro-Choice protest on April 27th that was speaking out against the Heartbeat Ban Bill that aims to ban abortions after a fetal Heartbeat is detected. You can help Maskåda Collective stand for the end of policing the bodies of people with uterus' by following @famalaoanrights and spreading awareness. 

>> Our latest blog post is on how student activism can combat corporate influence. Thanks to Herbicide Free Campus organizers for the wisdom - Take a read here. You can read other important posts that just went up (like our ED's response to the white supremacist fuel murders in Buffalo).  

>> We hosted a webinar a couple of weeks ago on mutual aid and community defense work. Keep an eye out on our YouTube channel for the recording.

>> Our staff is jumping into planning for the Power Shift 2023 convergence. If you haven't already, sign up to get updates on PS23 including announcements on climate justice and collective liberation programming, musicians and artists that will perform and more.
