DING DING DING !!! This diagram from COCo explains it perfectly.

Bringing more POC into an unsafe environment is not enough. Leaders must look at the structures of oppression present within their organisation and seek radical change so that white supremacy culture doesn't prevent POC staff from thriving and being themselves.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared — but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities.

We’ll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.

[#CharitySoWhite @CharitySoWhite]

It's taken time for us to name how toxic white supremacy culture played out for us. To name how reactive work, ego, mistrust, burnout impacted our work.

And we reflect on this more in 'Whatever happened to #CharitySoWhite?' https://t.co/5yu2QmkozN

"Even though we are not doing that much [right now] it feels a lot more healthy and a lot more aligned to our values" - @Jon_Cornejo, with @_RiniJones_ reflecting on how this felt a lot more safe for us as organisers.

Faiza Shaheen is a working class woman who has achieved extraordinary things (PhD, professorship, directed organisations). She has also devoted years to campaigning in the constituency she grew up in. She is the very definition of a candidate of the “highest quality”.

[Chris Nineham @ChrisNineham]

Whitehall was completely shut down by protestors tonight in one of the biggest static protests I have ever seen outside Downing Street. Watch this….

[Nafisa Bakkar @NafisaBakkar]

I don't tweet much about Palestine in my own words and mostly retweet because what is there left to say. I have nothing that Palestinians have not already said 100 times over.

The images coming from Rafah last night will be seared on the memories of all who saw them. Decapitated children and bodies on fire, after Israel bombed people sheltering in tents. Dozens killed with the death toll still rising. This is Israel's response to the ICJ ruling.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel told the world that displaced Palestinians in Rafah would be safe.

Israel lied.

Tonight, Israel is burning entire families alive—among them babies.

It is an unspeakable massacre.

Sanctions and arms embargoes on Israel now.

No more hollow statements and condemnations.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

Today is the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, when Zionist forces ethnically cleansed and eradicated over 500 villages and cities in Palestine, displacing over 750,000 Palestinians, and taking over 78% of the land of historic Palestine.

A charity leader said the n word, in full, hard r, whilst leading a session on diversity. She said the n-word to illustrate why staff shouldn’t say queer. The charity defended and excused her actions.

Our full response in the 🧵👇🏽

[#CharitySoWhite @CharitySoWhite]

We know how hard it is for a POC to speak up when they’ve been victims of racist abuse at work. But often the politeness politics of charity sector brands those that speak up as trouble makers, and excuses perpetrators by claiming that they didn’t mean it or had good intentions.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Rafah is under attack & there is nowhere for Palestinians to go.

This latest escalation in Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza must be met with consequences:

From the UK immediately banning arms sales to the ICC holding Netanyahu & Israeli officials to account for war crimes.

[Your Fav Swim Teacher; Omie @omie_dale]

I’m mixed & swam all my life as my Black mother couldn’t and didn’t want her kids to be the same. I now run an adult swim school where 90% of swimmers are Black women & I am director of a CIC that runs free lessons in W. London for kids & women. A few observations:

[Rohan Talbot @rohantalbot]

To be clear: 'enough' was six months and >32,000 Palestinian deaths ago.

[Omar D. Foda @EgyptsBeer]

It's truly depressing that Palestinians have to shout "see they killed white people too" to try to get people to care

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING: Israel has now killed 15,370 Palestinian children in Gaza, in just 180 days.

That’s 85 children killed per day, every single day, for 6 months straight.

Read that again.

His son wanted to be a doctor, but was killed on his London council estate. So Richard Taylor set up the Damilola Taylor Trust, which provided financial support + access to medicine for POC/working class students from London. A tireless advocate of social justice and reform. RIP
