I’m so honored to share that I'll be speaking at the @PublicHealth Policy Action institute about community organizing on June 10!

[Derek (they/them) @derekischmitz]

In a session moderated by Maggie Bartlett, Lacey Connelly, Tracie Potts, MSJ, and I will break down what effective organizing looks like in practice and how to talk to community members with differing perspectives including what works, what doesn’t

[Derek (they/them) @derekischmitz]

@fawnaticism Oh hell yeah!

Queer disabled people have been begging for Pride to be accessible for decades. Pride is supposed to be inclusionary. By excluding high risk and disabled people, you're excluding a group that you can join at any time. Disability is interconnected to everything. Please include us.

[Derek (they/them) @derekischmitz]

@fawnaticism Hell yeah, tummy Tuesday is goated.

BREAKING: By a 6-3 vote, #SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use its never-implemented 2023 districts in this year's elections. They're likely to result in a 6-1, R-D split and the loss of 1 of 2 majority Black AL districts. Doc: https://t.co/GQBJsMmeJe Earlier: https://t.co/0W2HPLC0yh
