Fandom Forward x Hope Punk Book Club: Work Wont Love You Back Fandom Forward 2023-11-20 | For the last quarter of 2023, we are collaborating with Hope Punk Book Club (run by the fabulous Taylor Behnke from one of our all-time fave YouTube channels itsradishtime). We’re reading Work Won’t Love You Back by Sarah Jaffe! We love this blurb about the book: "In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth--the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay."

Avatar Fans #StopLine3! Fandom Forward 2021-09-03 | This week, we launched Fans #StopLine3, an Avatar-themed adventure to raise our voices against another destructive, dirty oil pipeline. Over 50 fans have already signed up to join us, and we want you to be there! Here’s what to expect on Thursday, September 2nd:8:00pm ET: The Painted Lady livetweet! Stream The Painted Lady (ATLA S3E3) via your preferred service and tweet along with us as we talk about the parallels between #StopLine3 and the episode. Yup - even if you’ve never seen Avatar the Last Airbender, you’ll be able to watch along now!8:30pm ET: Join your fellow Team Avatar activists for a livestream where we'll be sending letters, making calls, and spreading the word to protect the water. We'll be joined by A Tribe Called Geek, Bending Not Breaking pod, My Cabbages! pod, and organizers from Honor the Earth!In just 90 minutes, we'll knock out hundreds of actions to support the water protectors, like letter writing, phone calls, and spreading the word. Will you join us to protect the water?Because here’s why it matters: Line 3 is a new major pipeline that is being constructed by Enbridge Inc across Anishinaabe treaty territory, currrently known as the U.S./Canada border in Minnesota. The pipeline will carry tar sands, a form of oil that creates even more pollution than crude oil when burned. Enbridge already owns other pipelines, and...they’re not great at it. Enbridge pipelines leak, on average, once every 20 days, spilling oil into indigenous food sources, water sources, and ecosystems. Oh yeah, and they’re responsible for the largest inland oil spill - 1.7 million gallons into Minnesota waterways - in US history. 1This is going to be an ecological disaster, and we need to prove to lawmakers and companies that more pipelines for fossil fuels aren’t the way. The good news is, like Hank Green says, we're very, very close:"We are at the point now where we will be okay if we never build another pipeline again. We can make that transition. The technology is there, and it's very close to being economically the thing that a company would do because it's not profitable anymore to put tar sand into a pipeline. We're very close to that point...there is no need for new pipeline infrastructure in the U.S. We need to leave the carbon in the ground." 2One way we make that happen? By loudly, dramatically, and creatively telling lawmakers and businesses that we don’t want pipelines - we want clean, safe water. That’s what we’ll be doing on Thursday, just like Katara.

Fan Activists #FloodICE Fandom Forward 2020-07-31 | You might have heard about ICE launching a new “Citizens Academy” in Chicago. Our friends at Never Again Action just got their hands on the application materials — and it’s as bad as we thought.ICE is trying to recruit regular people for a propaganda program to teach “awareness and appreciation” for ICE’s deportation work, and train them on “firearms familiarization and targeted arrests.” The government needs to focus on reuniting families - not training armed vigilantes to terrorize us or our neighbors for being immigrants or people of color. So we’re going to fight back, and that starts today with #FloodICE.The goal is to ruin their application process by flooding them with fake applications. That’s where you come in! We need thousands of people to take 5 minutes to send in an “application” by 7/30. Join us and let's #FloodICE together! More info: bit.ly/HPAFloodICE
