I have a group of critical white friends that help me hold myself accountable-I check in with them frequently. I notice when I'm operating from dominant societal norms-like urgency and slow down. I'm mindful of how and where I spend money and time. #AntiRacistEd #learnFwd22

A1: As a white woman my key word is practice. I need to constantly interrogate my assumptions-also-be intentional in all aspects of life. Status quo in US is racist, so every big or small decision must be considered thru a race lens. #AntiRacistEd #LearnFwd22

Week 4 @AustinISD . Lots of back-to-school nights happening this week. We offer a lot of important information and insights but how are we also inviting caregivers to share their “hopes and dreams” for their children in our schools ? @aisdparents

I feel like if we could raise $1 Billion for a cathedral in Paris we can raise $1 Billion for 50 Million people displaced from their homes in Pakistan.

This is life & death—the time to act is now. Grateful to all who are contributing & retweeting. Donate: https://t.co/apl7KD0twx

Thanks Leonor! Honored that you’ve chosen to be with us this week. Each learning session is different Bc we all have different experiences and perspectives to add to the conversation. CRRP 101 is my fave. And it’s tomorrow 9-4. Looking forward to learning in community.

I love this quote.

[Christopher Emdin @chrisemdin]

“Words are things, I’m convinced… Someday we’ll be able to measure the power of words. I think they are things. I think they get on the walls, they get in your wallpaper, they get in your rugs, in your upholstery, in your clothes. And, finally, into you.” - Maya Angelou.

Involuntary relocation= a geographic move not agreed upon.

Words are important & this revisionist language centers the comfort of white people by erasing the word slavery. If we don’t have to say it then we don’t have to own the truths of slavery & how it still impacts us today.

[sarateacher27 @sarateacher27]

Attacking trans youth and their families, censoring books, preventing educators from teaching the truth about our history and current realities, protecting guns over human life, making abortion illegal, segregation…

It’s all calculated and connected…

[Sarah N Johnson @SarahNJohnson1]
