This is already in motion with, for instance, the detention concentration camps at our borders that torture brown children.2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes
And yes! we absolutely need to organize. White people absolutely need to learn from BIPOC "about building movements, about courage, about survival" (quote from @MaryHeglar).
