View from current picket line in Los Angeles where @AF3IRMLA members, also @UTLAnow educators, are on STRIKE. Rain or shine, working class women walk the line!
Cecille, @AF3IRMLA member, @UTLAnow teacher, and LAUSD parent, is on strike at her school where she teaches 2nd grade! She walked the line two days and will be on strike again tomorrow alongside 60,000 other workers, mostly women, women of color, across Los Angeles!
On March 8th, the 23rd year into this century, we once again celebrate Womankind’s long history of struggle for equity and equality in the human world.

Welcome to Rancho Peñasquitos! Where the police are QUICK to intimidate and harass but SLOW to respond to community needs and concerns. #ConnieDadkhah would still be alive if SDPD respected the community they “serve”. https://t.co/o4FdTzVCTi

This Thanksgiving, please remember that your fave vacation spot Hawai’i is home to Native ppl who are living the brutal material conditions of Indigineity—land grabbing, unequal exploitation in the military-prostitution complex, incarceration, threat to language & culture, & more
Girls in the child welfare system are especially at risk of crossing over into the youth legal system. We must be mindful of the ways in which system-involvement renders our young people more vulnerable to incarceration and disrupt those pathways.
When Native girls who experience sexual violence are not afforded the support and services needed to heal, they can turn to coping mechanisms that lead to more harm. We must support all survivors, to break cycles of trauma and promote healing.
