Marginalization doesn't start w/ oppressive policy; it starts w/ behaviors that policy/community don't check. If this eg is true for most, how much worse is it for Black/brown folks?

Who built this country? When you think of fair compensation, are you tying whatever that amount is to its necessity or to your opinion of its 'respectability'? When labor is stolen, reparations are owed.

Poor folks can't budget their way out of poverty without access to opportunities. If you are marginalized, your access is drastically less.
Direct giving saves lives. The crisis is now.

'Do what you can' doesn't mean 'do what makes you comfortable.'
If your concern ends at systemic racism, you are choosing your comfort directly over the lives of Black and brown folks.

When asked what is the best way to start this work, a friend of mine always says, "Just start."
Long lists can work against us! How can you 'just start' today?

If our economy only works by destroying our society... our economy DOESN'T WORK.
The next time you hear a cliched metaphor about the grueling nature of success, remember: people's value is not based on their productivity. It's based on their humanity.

PANELIST SPOTLIGHT:
Mike Thomas is a cultivator who has been growing for years. He has survived of our nation’s brutal incarceration practices regarding cannabis and now hopes a legal marijuana market will still have a place for small producers like him.

If you cannot give directly without also giving direction for where your support should go, it means you don't trust those centered in the work. It's means despite recognizing need for them to ask, you don't trust who's asking.
Please, make that make sense.

Part of being anti-racist is getting comfortable being UNcomfortable. Hwite feelings are never more important than Black lives, and that can be a struggle for many of us. If we are ever to become true allies, we must set aside fragility and defensiveness

If it sat funny with you to see white people celebrating Juneteenth, extend that action out towards access to wealth and stability. Who benefits from current systemic changes, such as they are?

As things "return to normal," and the eviction moratorium ends, the housing crisis in Hampton Roads will explode. We know government aid won't save everyone - it never does. This is an EMERGENCY and we need all hands on deck. Fund the work NOW.
