Re-sharing this potent piece on grief, loss, joy, love as I hold tender space for the intersections of natural & political disasters from the TX abortion ban to Hurricane Ida to Afghanistan to fires on the west coast and so much loss across the globe. Presencing all w ❤️ + ✨.

If Roe is overturned: it is Black, Indigenous and other people of color, immigrants, young people, low-income folks and LGBT people who will be hurt most. Bans on abortion are racist & harmful – especially to those already hurt by systemic oppression. #BansOffOurBodies

You are enough because you are here on Earth breathing. That’s it.

Quick reminder:

Kindness and justice are not synonymous.

Be kind.
And advocate and work for justice.

Lives depend on it.

[Reproductive Freedom Fund of New Hampshire @ReproFundNH]

Today and every day it’s important to support Indigenous people, and that’s just as true in the reproductive healthcare movement.

"For those who have shamelessly promoted the belief that “wokeness” and “antiracism” are really what ails us in America today, the very fact that these trials were even necessary should reveal how contemptible their claims really are." https://t.co/HNOq2YiJwx

Joy always returns. Especially during the moments when it feels like you lost it forever.

Wait just a little longer. You’ll be glad you did.

Abortion is essential healthcare.

Dear Brother Ahmaud:

I know that this verdict doesn’t bring you back, and, oh how I lament your death.

Yet I rejoice in this verdict as I remember these words from my father:

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.” ~MLK

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.

Black trans people live at intersections of racism & transphobia dealing with rampant harassment, the cycle of poverty and for too many-lives cut short by police brutality & weaponized hate. We need #TransAwareness and we must work towards trans liberation! (art by Elle Hearns)

Somebody reading this needs a break from reading about and digesting tragedy and trauma.

You take care.

Log off.

The judge. The jury. The defendant.

It’s white supremacy in action.

This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free.

I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken.

💗 trans kids deserve access to gender-affirming healthcare.

Disability rights are civil and human rights.

Don't forget it.

[Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim]

Conflicts inevitably arise within organizing groups, some of which cause harm. Our new "In It Together" toolkit aims to serve as a framework and provide tools/strategies to transform such conflict in these spaces. Join us on 11/18 for the official release! https://t.co/spmNxdTJmj

When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us.

They never faced consequences.

If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it.
