In the annual @eugeneweekly Best of 2020, @cahoots_wbc won best non-profit and best service for the homeless. Ebony Morgan, program coordinator and RN won best healthcare worker. Thank you Eugene, we are humbled as ever. Letโs keep our hearts open and these vans rolling. ๐๐
In 2020, CAHOOTS has been offered the privilege of sharing our work in conversations that can feel both familiar and unfamiliar. Every opportunity to speak comes with an opportunity to listen and reflect.

Kamala Harris is every Black woman who had to remain calm in a work meeting when lesser qualified white men rudely spoke over them, spouting less than mediocre ideas while the person "in charge" does nothing to stop it and everyone judges *you* for "appearing" frustrated
Exactly. The system is working exactly as designed, protecting who it was designed to protect. The attorney general is hiding behind his lack of power, deferring to the way the system operates. It's designed for them to be able to do that. (1/5)
To not indict the officers for murder is to claim #BreonnaTaylor killed herself. Racist America constantly kills Black people and then tells Black people we killed ourselves. Racism extends past death. But weโll never stop declaring that our lives matter, that our deaths matter.
THEN they will have the caucasity to call you angry and unhealthy while ignoring decades of evidence-based research exposing that our society's way of operation kills people. (4/5)

Honored to have been able to speak on this topic with @trymainelee this week. Consistently humbled and inspired by the evolving conversations being had about this work.
Daniel Prude died the way too many people suffering from a mental breakdown have - at the hands of police.
What if cops didnโt have to respond to those kinds of calls? For 31 years
@WhiteBirdClinic in Oregon has delivered that alternative.
