The assault on Black folks, particularly Black Women, continues in the Bay Area. What kind of duplicity and mendacity is at work with @SFBART that you would remove @lateefahsimon only after approving her relocation? https://t.co/izIq5MJdjj

This breaks my heart and blows my mind. Howard Thurman wrote we often mistake caution for fear and vice versa. Millions have taken the vaccine. Saying yes to the vaccine now means you’ve been responsibly cautious. https://t.co/Nb7Nbf2XlW

Please sign this petition to support our sister Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes who is experiencing blistering attacks by some fragile evangelical folks https://t.co/45Dt7F77ps

Image of God Thread:

I keep seeing people talking about the image of God as though it is primarily or solely about human dignity and since my current research is on lynching, it takes me a few moments to remember why: it's a Western Christianity account.

[Michael McBride @impastormike_]

False equivalencies being made between BLM & MAGA insurrection is as wicked as Trump’s lies re election fraud. If you can’t distinguish between the black freedom struggle & white supremacist sedition, you lack the discernment & seriousness to lead in this moment #MAGAIsCancelled

One day, American taxpayers are gonna wake up and realize the federal budget is OUR money not the Senate’s slush fund for corporate bailouts. Our taxes should provide basic needs & a safety net for the vulnerable not the uber wealthy #2000StimulusChecks #COVID19 #ShameOnSenate

[Michael McBride @impastormike_]

Help me celebrate the amazing achievement of the newly affirmed Dr. @cherisemcb, as she has formally finished her PhD @UCBerkeley! 2020 has been so tough on our family & still in the midst of challenges, SHE PERSISTED! Celebrate her! I am so proud of your accomplishment!💃🏿

A white 17 y/o w/ a shotgun kills 2 people. Cops show up. People scream that he shot people. White teen puts his arms up, thinking he's being arrested. Cops pass him by even though he's holding a shotgun. He keeps walking & goes on his way. https://t.co/mF90wroeKV

Black newborn babies in the US are more likely to survive childbirth if they are cared for by Black doctors, but three times more likely to die when looked after by White doctors, a study finds. https://t.co/cwZ3BZmlL2

Radical fundamentalist have no problem taking the lives of those they disagree with...what good is our faith if we cast off love, peace, grace and justice? @TheWayBerkeley @impastormike

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Folks have convinced themselves they would’ve been in support of things like the Freedom Rides and the sit-in movement but that is disproven by their discomfort with the young people who are protesting TODAY in 2020. 1/

[Donna C. Battle @DCBattle]

@ABC11_WTVD anyone’s lack of knowledge about faith based justice work in their own city directly speaks to how little they are invested in justice beyond this highly publicized moment.

[Donna C. Battle @DCBattle]

@ABC11_WTVD to racist, patriarchal, and homophobic systems. The movement has never stopped for many conscious Black Clergy and justice work has and is being done by clergy, faith leaders and congregations in Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill and throughout the nation...

[Donna C. Battle @DCBattle]

@ABC11_WTVD If you can’t follow the leadership of Black women and men who have made it their life’s work to fight injustice, then please remain in your comfortable church space that doesn’t consider intersectionality, political impact, or your own continued contribution...

[Donna C. Battle @DCBattle]

@ABC11_WTVD the article published on “multiethnic” unity centering a white SBC CHURCH is beyond offensive. Black church leaders and the Black churches REMAIN an active part of anti racism and justice work. BLM is lead by Black women and it is collaborative...
