Welcome to SnoCoCAN!

This is our grassroots wiki-based collaboration project focused on giving the oppressed a platform in Snohomish County as well as sharing resources to support them.

We highly recommend newcomers to start with the About Us page and the Progressive Groups page (the latter to get to know those involved in activism and politics in Snohomish County we believe are doing good work).

“You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.”

Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Future of Social Media

With Elon Musk buying Twitter and the chaos that's ongoing with the company as of this post time, there has been a lot of discussion regarding alternatives to the social media platform. Mastodon is a option that's comparable to Twitter yet it works fundamentally differently as does the rest of the Fediverse.

Rather than explain the details on this blog entry directly, here are some recommended readings.

Leaving Twitter's Walled Garden - Electronic Frontier Foundation

Whether federated social media works well for us or not is up to us. Social networking has been something we as humans have done in some form for like, ever. We're so used to the likes of Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, that we have a hard time imagining a form of social media without a corporation running it. Let's expand our horizons and try something new!

FIGHT FOR THE BIPOC STUDENTS OF MONROE!!!

Start with reading these articles….

Family looking to leave Monroe following racial harassment, assault

Monroe parents say racism directed at 11-year-old forced them to remove him from class

Yeah….we still have a problem with racism in SnoCo. We of the Pink Umbrella Society have been actively fighting for BIPOC in Snohomish County since last year. And we knew this was going to be a long-term struggle. These are recent local incidences that are proof of this fact.

The School Board had failed those kids…however, there is a new board set to run things and the Monroe Equity Council has come together to support the victims.

If you want to help, start by marking your calendars for the next school board meeting on December 13th, 6pm. We can come together to let this new board know that we're taking this matter seriously and demand they do the same. Also, make sure you set up early to make sure you'll be able to join the meeting. Check the Meetings link for more info.

Let's go, y'all!

Big thanks to The Church of Black Coffee for the support!

Earlier this year, we got in contact with them and discussed our vision for more collaboration and efforts to make Snohomish County better for the marginalized. They are well aware of the Black Lives Matter Uprising of 2020 as well as the discussions of intersectionality associated with the BLM movement that we also focus on with this wiki and our work in general. We have also gratefully accepted from them The Brandon Gyasi Stovall Grant for Civic Education from them to fund our work on this site and more.

*(Click this link https://www.thechurchofblackcoffee.com/the-brandon-gyasi-stovall-grant-for-civic-education/ for info regarding the grant.)

Despite the name, it's more accurate to describe them as a positive circle for philosophical discussion that's open to all regardless of religious/spiritual beliefs.

The founder also runs the recently opened Pops Skateshop which also attracts a lot of counter-culture progressives we vibe with!

We invite y'all to give them some love!
