WOC-led equity and culture shift firm @shiftyourculture celebrates 1yr of transforming culture in the workplace today! The For The Culture team models what's possible when equity strategies are rooted in intersectionality and designed for the margins first. Bravo! #FTCAnniversary

70% of attendees at today’s #unccbc meeting are considering leaving the university. More than 60% are actively job searching outside of the institution.

It’s Juneteenth AND reparations.

It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs.

It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid.

It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country.

Black liberation in its totality must be prioritized.

1) On this last day of #BMHW21 I am asking you all to read and share this reflection by my Sands the brilliant and thoughtful ⁦@alexismcgill⁩ ⁦⁩ ⁦@PPFA⁩ “We will no longer make excuses or apologize for Margaret Sanger’s actions.” 🖤🖤🖤 https://t.co/0Z7RFUTMKY

Our Birth Justice Care Fund is a needs-based initiative, for Black and other birthing people of color, especially Queer and Trans folks in GA and NC who need support during their pregnancy and within one year postpartum. https://t.co/AE0EioDBCw #BlackMamasMatter #BMHW21

Take a breath. Cry it out if you need to. Scream if it gives you relief. Close your computer. We don’t always have to push through. Center your needs, they can wait.

This so hard for people to understand, but there's no amount of interpreters/accommodations (regardless of quality/identities) that can make the criminal legal system "just" for disabled folks.

A lot of ppl/systems/corps benefit from access theater but there is no justice here.

In the richest nation on the earth, American moms are dying at the highest rate in the developed world. Today, I’m leading the fight in Congress with @RepAdams and @SenBooker to introduce the Black Maternal Health #Momnibus Act to save lives and end disparities. #Momnibus

[Talila A. Lewis, Esq. | talilalewis.bsky.social @talilalewis]

The "death penalty" (murder by the state) is ableist, racist, classist in its conception+application.

US legacies/present of eugenics (agnst Black/Indigenous, disabled, impoverished ppl) should be sufficient reason for all people to fight for an immediate end to ALL executions.

Thank you @FWhitfield @CNN for sharing your truth and #SayHerName! #DrSusanMoore should still be here. She is US. She was not valued. Not respected. Not trusted. Thank you to my SHERO Dr. @CamaraJones for changing the narrative of blame and shame to #JusticeandJoy #EndRacism

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

In this @washingtonpost OpEd, we, four Black women physicians, pay honor to the humanity of Dr. Susan Moore, who died prematurely of #COVID19 and racism, and we continue to call on institutions and organizations to dismantle racism in healthcare. #SayHerName
