“Revolution is messy & incoherent and it means necessarily *the destruction of everything*. It means we have to give up something. Particularly white people. White people might think they’re ready to give up something. Really they’re not” →@lolaolufemi_

@SafyHallanFarah this open letter was created with the intention to address this:

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

If you are concerned about looting, then now would be the time to think about long-term strategies for how to redistribute your wealth and return the land to your Dakota friends and neighbors and the Black people who worked as slaves to build this country.

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

an open letter to white residents of south minneapolis

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

Do you want the neighborhood to be truly safe, or just for white people and their property?

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

Insofar as we white people materially benefit by owning property or acquiring wealth off of this land, we are all looters.

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

To those of you who think that property shouldn’t be stolen so that others can gain wealth and material goods, we remind you that you are currently standing on Dakota land. Do you think they gave it up willingly?

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

Now is not the time to celebrate “coming together as a community.” Why are we only now coming together? To defend property? There is nothing to celebrate: we have failed as neighbors, we have failed as friends, and we have failed as members of the human community.

On Nov 2, 1979, Assata Shakur was liberated from prison. Today is the 40th anniversary. #fttp #ftp #freeassata 🦩

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

@TerryMetterJr @violetbfox @LenaGluck Yeah this seems like a pressing issue. I hope we can turn some of the current police abolitionist discourse toward libraries too. Ima follow this idea.

[The Underbelli @theunderbelli]

Any recommendations for readings specifically about police and/in libraries? @violetbfox @LenaGluck #critlib
