Filip, the Vancouver, B.C.-based art magazine, this morning sent out a clear-eyed reminder about the relevance of Pussy Riot:

It is important here to highlight why these women are incarcerated and why we stand with them. As culture workers, they have facilitated a relationship to the everyday and reconsidered the world around them and their place within it. And so will we. As culture workers, they have created a space for open and vigorous questioning despite the lack thereof within their immediate environment. And so will we. As culture workers, they have sought to dissolve hierarchy in favor of movement, voice, and vision. And so will we. As culture workers, they have moved towards enriching the landscape where our collective, civic voice can move, grow, debate, and generate a desire and belief in the right to individual autonomy and equality regardless of difference. And so will we.

The first thing you can do to support Pussy Riot on the eve of their sentencing in Russian court—the sentencing is set for tomorrow at noon our time—is to get educated about them. Read Emily Nokes's piece in this week's paper here.

The second thing you can do is to take a little action. Rallies are planned in at least a dozen cities. Seattle isn't one of them (yet), and maybe organizing an entire rally is too much for you.

So here's what you do: Stay tuned. Consider donating to the legal defense fund here. Oh, and go down on a woman tomorrow.
