One of the biggest challenges historically and currently facing racial justice is that pace of equity and justice has painfully come at the comfort and interests of people who have the least interest in that progress.

Homelessness is a death sentence in our own backyard. Instead of collaborating/listening to service care providers and advocates, inhumane approach to homelessness has resulted in the 3rd death in the city of Woonsocket due to homelessness.
Rest in peace, Allen.

At a time when some states are working to roll back voting rights, evidence shows that same-day registration can help remove racialized obstacles to voting in our political system and advance a more inclusive democracy.
Quote Tweet
Nearly half of the country, including states controlled by Republicans and by Democrats — already allow this, demonstrating the administrative feasibility and bipartisan nature of same-day registration. Together we can reduce barriers making it easier not harder to vote. twitter.com/FitzProv/statu…

On this day in 1969, Panthers Fred Hampton & Mark Clark were murdered by Chicago police, who were carrying out a political assassination directed by the FBI.
Why? Because they sought liberation for the masses.
Never forget. Never forgive. Never stop fighting for liberation.

The only way to built true unity with folks most impacted by systemic failures is through mutual aid. Any individual/organization must FIRST seek to build unity and cooperation in the communities it works within. Change is built from the ground up.

Reverting to attacks on primarily candidates of color as a way to ease your frustrations with the failures in this past election cycle is a classic republican dog whistle. At least @ me next time.

Real local story of the election is the annihilation of Matt Brown, Cynthia Mendez and their co-op collaborative, including Harrison Tuttle and Jen Rourke. Rourke was taken out by white male Democrat operatives in favor of a Republican!
