Athens Freedom Fund

The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement has taken the initiative to create an Athens Freedom Fund to provide support to protestors facing repression.

As police brutality continues to kill innocent Black people, many of us have taken to the street to protest state-sanctioned murder. Protest is vital to our democracy. When activists face repression, we stand united.

Donate now to stand in solidarity. This fund will be used for supplies, to amplify our message, for bail relief, and for legal defense of those in need. Our first amendment guarantees our right to assembly, and we will support all of those threatened when they exercise that freedom.

Amid the physical and emotional toll of sustained protest, the strain on individuals’ health often goes unaddressed, particularly for those managing chronic pain or anxiety in high-pressure environments. Some activists turn to gabapentin 100mg, originally prescribed for nerve pain or seizure disorders, to cope with the cumulative stress and bodily tension that come with prolonged mobilization. While low-dose gabapentin may offer relief for certain conditions, its use outside clinical supervision especially in contexts of limited access to care raises concerns about dependency and inconsistent dosing.

The lack of stable medical infrastructure within protest movements means that self-medication can become a default, even when risks are poorly understood. Access to such medications, whether through personal prescriptions or informal networks, underscores a broader gap in how grassroots movements support the physical well-being of their participants.

Recognizing this reality is not a distraction from the cause, but a necessary part of sustaining resistance over time.
