A Brief History of The Comedy Resistance PART 3

Immigrant Defense (2017-present)

TCR has distributed thousands of legal rights cards to the undocumented community to help preserve and protect their rights as global citizens.

Serves as volunteers on the KPA Rapid Response Team – on 24 hour call – rushing to locations during ICE raids to protect the undocumented citizens by forming a circle around and walking them safely to their car, or home from work or from courthouse. Also documenting in real time those aggressive and unlawful actions of ICE in order to help support those who are arrested during these raids so if they are incarcerated their families can be notified of their whereabouts in detention centers and jails, and so the process of finding legal representation bail funds can begin.

CLINIC DEFENSE (2017 – present)

Continuing weekend actions in which TCR has volunteered to help LA for Choice to protect women’s reproductive rights against violent anti-abortion protesters outside a family planning clinic in Downey, California, escorting women safely into the clinic.

PICS:

VOTER REGISTRATION and GOTV (2018 – present)

Organized voter registration and GOTV on over 100 comedy shows with headlining comedians including Patton Oswald, Bob Odenkirk, Maria Bamford, David Cross, Julio Torres, Reggie Watts, Jeanine Garofalo, Natasha Leggero, Kristen Schaal and many others. We partnered with VoteWithMe, Headcount and over a dozen local orgs in swing districts across the country for the 2018 election but also ensured to set up infrastructure for local comedians and volunteer activists to connect within these cities, so that grassroots work continues beyond electoral engagement.

MASKS FOR ALL (2020)

– The unhoused community on the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, San Antonio, San Diego, New York City, asylees in Tijuana.

– TCR has addtionally provided PPE kits to protect our nationwide network of volunteers that have so courageously worked on the ground distributing masks during this pandemic

TCR’s Masked Rider has delivered thousands of face masks to:

– Farm workers displaced by the wildfires in California

– Women’s shelter in South Los Angeles

– Navajo Nation at the border of NM and Arizona

A PENNY A MILE TO GIVE FACE MASKS TO THE NAVAJO NA

A PENNY A MILE TO GIVE FACE MASKS TO THE NAVAJO NATION. Navajo Nation is currently experiencing the biggest spike of coronavirus cases in the country, with more deaths than 13 states combined.

Since forcing their relocation away from their native lands, the United States Federal Government has not provided the Navajo with running water, paved roads, internet, or any of the so-called essentials of living that many of us enjoy.

In short: they need all the help we can give them.

The Comedy Resistance and Suitcase Joe are committed to solidarity, and are partnering to provide the Navajo Nation with reusable, hand-washable face masks to their community during this pandemic.

We need your help to reach this goal — our generous supplier in Los Angeles has agreed to sell us masks at cost, so $1 = 1 mask!

A member of The Comedy Resistance has strapped 1,000 face masks on the fender of his Harley and is riding 1,356 miles (round trip) from Los Angeles to deliver them to Navajo Nation at the border of AZ and NM. But the need is so much greater. If you can, please help us provide more by sponsoring the Masked Rider. A donation of a penny a mile ($13.56) will purchase almost 14 face masks, saving countless lives! That can really make a difference.

We’re all in this together. Let’s be kind. This is no time to give zero bucks! Link in bio! 📷 by @suitcase_joe #thecomedyresistance #navajonation #masksforall #suitcasejoe #apennyamile
