May 5th is National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Please remember to make a post standing with our indigenous sisters, none of us are free until we’re all free.

DISTRO SISTERS: Success!

Despite the failure of Sista Surge Media to meet its goal by the deadline, Distro Sisters is going strong, and is projected to launch by the end of the month! We could not have done this without you! We still, however, urgently need your support in our Florida launch, and further expansion!

We have branches planned for the Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Tampa areas. In the coming months, we will be reworking Sista Surge Media to pitch to investors and large donors, so that we can continue operations without relying on financial contributions from our supporters. We realize that there are many causes our sisters support, many of varying urgencies and demands—so we want to be able to support those too!

We were able to get food, medicine, menstrual hygiene products, and personal hygiene products thanks to the help we’ve received from all of you! We thank you for that, and appreciate your efforts! Now, all we need is funding for a small warehouse bay which will function as our base of operations, shelving units, first aid kits, and a refrigerator to store the perishables. We have our sister Natalie who is providing us with uniforms, and Yaya Por Vida who provides us with NAXALONE and contraceptives, so thank you to our precious allies!

We also understand that some sisters would be more willing to send contributions when they are tax-deductible, so we’re currently working on a non-profit to help us collect contributions efficiently, and to help fund other efforts that are close to all our hearts. Sista Surge Media will be the foundations of these operations. It will provide our sisters with jobs, and supply a large portion of funding to our other initiatives, like the International Womyn’s Army, ReproFight, and Distro Sisters.

If you are still willing and able to contribute in its current form, you can do so at: https://donorbox.org/sistasurgemedia

Thank you, deeply, to everyone who is involved, or has been involved at some point! You are deeply appreciated!

In strength, sisterhood, and solidarity

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

Heart attacks symptoms are different for women. I recently learned this. 

With us living in a time where men are literally yelling “your body, my choice”, I’d like to share a few links to things I highly suggest looking into getting especially if you rave and travel alone.

1: https://a.co/d/7nSSYM5

This is the NightCap scrunchie, which provides cover for your beverages. You can find cheaper, disposable ones here if you want to bring some to share: https://a.co/d/grcCLTD

2: https://a.co/d/ekSbMRG

These are roofie check wristbands. Each wristband has the ability to test 8 times, and they come in packs of 2, 12, 24 or 100. You can find similar tests in a portable strip or even wallet card form if the bracelet cramps your style, the wallet cards can be found here: https://a.co/d/ekHTSzi

3: https://a.co/d/2fyapai

These are discrete emergency whistles. They come in 2 or 4 packs, and in silver or gold.

4: https://a.co/d/an1k7qF

This is a small personal alarm created by women, for women. It does not have a button, but rather has a pin mechanism. The alarm’s battery lasts up to 40 minutes, and because it is not considered a “w3@p0n” like pepper spray, you can take it anywhere, including on planes.

5: https://a.co/d/0yVnTTv

This one is a mini, rechargeable stun gun.

Not everyone has time and money to take self defense classes - but if you were to purchase all of these items, your total would be less than $100. Your life is priceless. Please take care of yourselves, and please feel free to share this with your friends and copy/paste to your pages. Stay weird yall!
