"Pharmacoequity"- I really like the term, the concept, and the actions that are needed to achieve it. Check out this thread and the article it comes from.

First they blamed Latinx immigrants without evidence. Now, they’re turning the blame onto Black people against evidence to the contrary. Not surprising. Blaming Latinx and Black people is what many politicians do when in peril, when trying to deflect blame. It’s a racist pastime.
I am honored to have received the @IndSector 2021 John W. Gardner Leadership award, and to share it with Professor John A. Powell whom I have long admired for his leadership and kindred spirit in this vital work for healing, equity, and #racialjustice.
Really worth watching Emmy nominated documentary “ALL IN” about the assault on voting rights in Georgia by Governor Kemp- in case you missed it https://t.co/SFLU1Gc2Kx Thank you @staceyabrams for your integrity and commitment to democracy
I love everything about this mostly because it demonstrates that despite all the bs this journalist continues to do what she does brilliantly! Love her genius.
So excited for this to air tomorrow. Everyday I go about my work seeking to honor the legacy of the woman who provided the template. Happy Birthday, Ida B. Wells-Barnett.
It’s taken us 4 decades or more to begin to shift the racial hierarchy narrative and reality away from denial and omission of the lived experiences of people of color. We cannot allow this politically contrived CRT debate to derail progress!

I know many of your see my tenure vote as a victory, & I appreciate so much the support and advocacy. But I need you to listen to the student protestors to understand that this forced vote does nothing to address the larger and sustained issue that these students face on campus.
How to dismantle racialized capitalism? We'll need to learn in real-time, as organizers have been doing for generations. Thx @ForgeOrganizing for featuring wisdom of @nfg_org's Adriana Rocha & @FundJustEconomy's

Thank goodness for expert teachings skills of @sandylocks Your patience is a gift to us and gives us proper framing and language to counter the narrative on CRT
