I wrote about Brittney Griner, the strategic muted reaction to her “detention” (jailing) in Russia, and why raising the volume on this could be extremely important to securing her passage home. https://t.co/wo5DsVJpFt
It's been inspiring to witness the openness to growth and learning, vulnerability in self-reflection, and commitment to action shown by the more than 200 white Michiganders who have journeyed through the Understanding Racial Justice course.
Interested in joining the next cohort?
If you are a white Michigander interested in learning more about Racial Justice, growing your capacity to show up in positive ways, and building antiracist community, this could be an excellent next step to take on your journey!

We’ve recently seen disturbing antisemitic attacks and a troubling rise in Islamophobia. If you are committed to a future of equality and peaceful coexistence, please stand united against anyone who promotes hatred of any kind.
Antisemitism hurts the cause for Palestinian freedom. It is not welcomed nor does it reflect the spirit or plight of the Palestinian people.
We appreciate our Jewish sisters and brothers who have been bold & brave accomplices in our struggle.

It must be said here - amplification is necessary but not sufficient. Traction on this issue is very dependent on your calls to Congress.
Retweets aren’t enough. Call your member of Congress & let them know how you’d like to be represented on this matter:

The United States should not be rubber-stamping weapons sales to the Israeli government as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets, schools, hospitals, humanitarian missions and civilian sites for bombing.
We have a responsibility to protect human rights.
Creative practice is a foundational piece to all that we do at Title Track.
We invite you to enjoy some music, art, poetry, or video creations that we have produced over the past year.
Stay tuned for some fresh creations in the days to come!

Many will tell you Israel has a right to defend itself, to safety and security, but are silent on whether Palestinians have those rights too.
Until we can defend the rights of Palestinians just as we do Israelis, we have no leg to stand on when it comes to justice or peace.
(3/3) ... it is becoming increasingly clear to many that decriminalization of marijuana is one of the pressing social justice issues of our time.
Glaze it don’t blaze it?! I hope we can learn and do better, @ManchesterUniv
(1/3) a note to my alma mater: I’ve got to be honest...this post makes me angry. If humor was intended it’s lost on me on the day where a Chauvin verdict could be reached. Within the context of the horrific historic and ongoing racial and social injustices of the drug war...
