@thrasherxy@LewisPants Because honestly there are SO MANY resource lists, websites, programs, curricula, and models. There are plenty of things on offer in your book and all around us. What I think people are really asking for is courage.
@thrasherxy@LewisPants A person who cannot see solutions in this book are asking either for action steps that work for everyone or a personal note telling them exactly what to do. Neither are possible.
@thrasherxy@LewisPants Often a call for solutions or action steps comes from the inability to see and learn from models that can be adapted to build their own paths. It also come from the fear of failing.
✨NEW RESOURCE: We are thrilled to share this resource collection to aid in evaluation and reflection, "So is this Actually an Abolitionist Proposal or Strategy?" We hope this is useful to abolitionist organizers everywhere! https://t.co/7PcPcx4SBH @projectnia@C_Resistance
We’re moments from having the state create registries where pregnant women have to declare their status and prepared to be monitored for nine months until a baby is produced.
Despite the despair, I’m looking forward to the @ALALibrary conference this weekend. I’ll be in convo w/some rad library people during the day and kicking back at night. https://t.co/FqXpUcSx9L #alaac22
Take the "What's your resistance style?" quiz! @debofficially and I cooked up some scenarios for you based on the resistance framework featured at the @NCRMuseum. #juneteenth2022
Before the news reached #Galveston, before any law freed us or declared us equal, Black people have been doing the work to free ourselves.
Thanks to the @the_emancipator for helping me share the 6 ways of resistance I always talk about... #juneteenth2022 https://t.co/t3J5SggR60

It has been one week since the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
In response, a dark-money group from Missouri launched a "Woke Heat Map" so that fascists can "fight back" against a "woke agenda."
Twelve locations are tagged.
All of them are schools.
