Today marks the five year anniversary of the deadly shooting at a FedEx ground facility in Indianapolis, Indiana.
On April 15, 2021, eight people—including four members of the local Sikh community—were murdered by a gunman.
A graphic for two public programs offered by Building Movement Program and SolidarityIs - a two part series exploring solidarity wedges and opportunities. The first is a State of Solidarity in May, and the second is a half-day intensive in June for individuals active in nonprofit and movement spaces. The background is an image of a blue sky with faint white clouds, and there are yellow floral elements in the bottom corners.
Join BMP this spring for a two-part learning series on solidarity wedges and opportunities!

For @npquarterly.bsky.social, @deepaiyer.bsky.social goes beyond the headlines to understand the expanding toll of the child detention industry, the impact on families, and how nonprofits - and everyday people - are responding: nonprofitquarterly.org/the-expandin...
As of January 2026, @themarshallproject.org found that ICE is holding around 170 children, a sixfold increase from the Biden administration, with Dilley being the main site for family detention: www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/29/i...
In March, community and faith leaders from around the country began a 90-mile march from the Dilley immigrant detention facility to San Antonio, TX, to raise awareness about the surge in child detention by the Department of Homeland Security: www.instagram.com/p/DVbNyIgkeW...

Graphic honoring the Day of Remembrance on February 19. There is a black and white photograph of Japanese Americans walking towards a barracks-style building at an incarceration camp during WWII, while a row of US soldiers in military uniforms watches. The text on the graphic reads: "The National Day of Remembrance on February 19th marks the years since the issuance of Executive Order 9066 which led to the forced removal and incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans during World War II by the United States government. In the midst of relentless anti-immigrant attacks that rely upon similar narratives and policies, we must recommit to community care and solidarity."

Quote from Loidymar Duprey González, Co-founder and Program Manager, La Tejedora, speaking on the February 2026 podcast episode of Solidarity Is This with the Building Movement Project. Loidymar says: "We love to say that we are a very, very resistant people as Boricuas. We are fighters, we are winners, we are whatever we want to be."
Quote from Loidymar Duprey González, Co-founder and Program Manager, La Tejedora, speaking on the February 2026 podcast episode of Solidarity Is This with the Building Movement Project. Loidymar says: "I think that our power remains in believing that we don't need the United States to do anything that we want. One of the biggest and greatest example of that is how people organized themselves after Hurricane Maria, in which we were almost six months without electricity, water and basic needs. After that, a beautiful mutual aid network started and it started from that principle, that basic humane principle of having solidarity with one another. And because I am recognizing the humanity that is in you."

Throughout her writing and her work, Assata taught us about connections. From her work as part of the Black liberation and anti-war movements to her abolitionist lens, Assata understood how U.S. state violence targets Black and brown people both within the U.S. and across the globe. In the syllabus, we explore the connections between Assata’s work and the struggles for justice today.

And yet, continuing to develop our individual and collective political analyses - alongside the ongoing work of building relationships and organizing - can make our solidarity practice more possible and more durable. 2/
