"Women should no longer have to carry these burdens alone," the ad says. "For decades, a culture of misogyny has allowed men to act with impunity and without consequence. We demand an end to that culture, and we pledge to do our part in dismantling it.”

In 1991, 1,600 African-American women took out a full-page ad in the @nytimes to show support for Anita Hill.

In today's NYT, 1600 male allies, in a crowdfunded effort, place a full-page ad in support of Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford.

@deray speaking on redesigning social structures... “People have always been imagining beyond their constraints. White folks do it all the time. But when it’s for POC and poor people, people’s imagination disappears. We designed this world and we can redesign it.”

@d_l_mayfield Your words helped me to not feel alone with the dissonance I was facing. I reread it before each social work practicum, to remind myself to sit in discomfort and reflect on my own unconscious beliefs, thoughts, and motivations.

@d_l_mayfield Reader here! I read your book while I was living in Uganda last summer conducting research with a health facility. Reading it was incredibly cathartic for me, and I remarked numerous times that it felt like you were voicing my own thoughts.
