July 8 Amazon Strike
Support workers starting a strike in the 2nd week of July by boycotting Amazon beginning July 8, 2018 until they give in to striker’s demands.
This strike is purposely timed to disrupt Amazon’s Prime Deals event on July 16th, so you can show solidarity by not buying from Amazon during this time.
Also, please don’t think you’re helping the workers by buying more stuff during this time to increase workload–you’re only giving Bezos more cash if you buy off Amazon, and it’s not like HE has to personally process your packages for you.
It sends an even bigger message if you can cancel your Amazon Prime as well.
This is a European strike, so you can help even more if you live in Europe, but it will send a powerful message if people in other countries also boycott Amazon during this time, to say that you will not ignore the mistreatment of workers outside your country.
Here is a page giving information on the strike:

This Quebec Furry Group Is Fighting the Far Right
Unlikely anti-fascist allies in 2017: Juggalos and Furries.
The furry La Meute describe themselves as “anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-open borders, pro-love, and pro-furry hugs.” They have been around in some form or another for several years now—always referring to themselves as “the wolf pack” or La Meute. The group didn’t feel the need to become public until the far-right wolf pack began to rise.
“We [went public] because we saw that the false Wolf Pack, la fausse meute as we call them, begin to get really, really big and they were giving us furries a really bad reputation,” said Wolfenstein. “Everybody thought that we were a racist bunch, but that’s not us, we’re all about love so that’s why we created this page.”
“We’re now 1,600 or so furries against the false wolf pack.”
Just to give a bit more context for the summary – there’s a large and prominent and horrible Quebec racist group called La Meute (”the wolf pack”). They keep holding demos, it’s gross. Anyway, a group of furries, who were using the name La Meute some time before the racists were, is now trolling them hard, posting anti-fascist/anti-racist memes all over, and in particular, confusing the hell out of racists who are trying to find the racist Meute on facebook and find the furry one instead.
Considering there’s alt-right furries, the least the universe can do is provide us with antifa furries
