❤️ Pride is a celebration.
🧡 Pride is a movement against unjust systems.
💛 Pride was born as a riot led by trans women of color.
💚 Pride is yours whether you're 'out' or not.

Happy #PrideMonth, y'all.

As we seek justice for the Beulaville NC Judge family, who were victims of two arsons, we are asking Duplin County residents to share their own stories of racial discrimination or harassment. More info: https://t.co/r1wowhy8ji #HateCrime #justiceforjudgefamily

WE keep us safe.

Join us this Sat. May 28th from 3-5:30pm for a space for students, parents & teachers to be in community and receive tools to support our healing. 💛

[#StudentsDeserve @LA_StudentsDsrv]

We need to continue to reimagine safety without police.
We need to invest those funds to support Black students, not add to the criminalization they experience.

We must remember that school police actually make schools less safe for Black youth!

[#StudentsDeserve @LA_StudentsDsrv]

Cops do not belong in schools. They do not keep Black and Brown students safe.

As we mourn the deaths of students & teachers from Uvalde, Texas, & those whose lives were taken by acts of white supremacist terrorism in Buffalo a week ago — Cops do not keep us safe.

Since its founding seven years ago, @weare_org has made impressive inroads by relying on the framework of critical race theory to teach the pernicious legacy of systemic racism. https://t.co/EtxOZlsI52

[Youth Justice Project @YJPDurham]

As we mourn, we also uplift organizations in Buffalo and Uvalde who are working to heal their communities.

Buffalo: @BLRRBuffalo, @feedmorewny, @716UrbanLeague
Uvalde: @UnivHealthSA, @LULAC, @connectforlife

"I'm wondering how many more examples like this one, do we need to affirm that anti-racism work must be a part of our educational system? … We have to acknowledge that racism is divisive and anti-racism is not," Bullock added.
