From supporting our folks w/ideations &, living with schizophrenia, to Black transmasculine mhealth and mhealth across the diaspora-with soundbaths, music and more it was a great day with community.💛💛

On this day in 1807, Ohio began prohibiting any Black person from testifying against a white person. This new law allowed white people to commit crimes against Black people with impunity. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/MPJDBZa3Vi

Most students learn about Martin Luther King Jr. in school. But it’s rare that they learn these stories from Black storytellers. As we approach MLK Day on the 17th, here are 20 books about Dr. King by Black authors, compiled by @BCBooksAuthors.

”We know that schools are places that can reinscribe trauma, including racialized trauma. We know that harm is inflicted on BIPOC students in school ... If we listen, our students will reveal that racism. We need to listen.”

Awesome story on #CRJC fellow, Emma Hoff! Congratulations and best to you on the next leg of your journey. https://t.co/u7A7cS1jB9

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Today, Derek Chauvin was found guilty. But our legal system is still far from just, and students may still feel a lack of closure. We hope you’ll reaffirm the value of Black lives and create space for students to process. These resources can help.
