The times demand Anti-Racist Action. With the second anniversary of George Floyd's murder just passed, and the racist assault on the Black community of Buffalo an aching hole in our hearts, it's time for white people to stand solidly against racism.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it! We must never forget the Tulsa Massacre, or stop working for justice. On May 31-June 1, 1921, white mobs attacked Black residents, homes and businesses in Tulsa, OK. As many as 300 people were killed, 35 city blocks were destroyed. The mob targeted the prosperous Black community of Greenwood in a vicious act of white supremacy. The resilient survivors rebuilt their community, and Greenwood today is again being renewed after decades of neglect. James Baldwin, Troops, American History, Repeat, June, Forget, Community, Homes

The devastating racist massacre in Buffalo on Saturday horrifies us. But we aren't surprised. Racism has always been a powerful and consistent force in the US. In recent years, the racism long embraced by conservatives has grown more virulent. The young man who carried out these murders was inspired by these lies. Let's hope this horror leads more people to engage in work to dismantle white supremacy. #anti-racist #buffalostrong #dismantlewhitesupremacy Young Man, Horror, Inspired

A young Black man in the prime of his life, Ahmaud Arbery was brutally hunted down and murdered two years ago. It appears that the three killers will face justice for their actions, a break with the centuries-long tradition of impunity for white people who kill Black people. #SayTheirNames #ahmaudArbery Young Black, Black Man, The Hamptons, Peace, Life, Sobriety

Celebrate our overlooked sisters: the African American women suffragist. Black women across the country came together preparing one another to overcome legal hurdles & reluctant registrars. They sought to gain the support of their white sisters in the suffrage movement to recognize that more work was needed to secure the vote for Women of Color. A new generation of dedicated Black women leaders continues this work today, combating well-organized voter suppression efforts across the country.

🎉 📚 Happy Birthday Frederick Douglass! Like most people who were enslaved when they were born, Frederick Douglass had no idea of the date of his birth. After escaping slavery in Maryland for freedom in the North, Douglass selected St. Valentine’s Day as his birthday, recalling that his mother had so often called him her “Little Valentine.” Douglass, one of the most powerful writers and orators for human equality and liberation, remains an inspiration to freedom fighters across the globe.

We must honor the authentic Dr. King. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was among the most meaningful proponents of universal freedom in human history. Unfortunately, there has been an ongoing effort since his murder to sanitize his work and legacy. Let us continue sharing Dr. King's vision of a world where war, poverty and materialism no longer dominate our lives, and work to bring that vision to fruition. #MLKDay #MLK Direct Action, I Have A Dream, The Absence, King Jr, Martin Luther King, Leadership

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was among the most meaningful proponents of universal freedom in human history. A preacher, theoretician and organizer, his radical vision and leadership in the practice of nonviolent direct action changed the course of history across the globe. Unfortunately, there has been an ongoing effort since his murder to sanitize his work and legacy. Let us continue sharing Dr. King's vision of a world where war, poverty and materialism no longer dominate our lives.

Two court cases of white men who carried out racist killings appear headed for acquittal. Kyle Rittenhouse in Wisconsin, and Gregory and Travis McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan Jr. in GA will likely escape any consequences. The US criminal “injustice” system – is almost never able to provide justice for people who are black, brown, poor, trans, women or a combination of those. But the struggle for justice continues across the US. #BlackLivesMatter #SayTheirNames #BLM #CriminalLegalSystem Legal System, White Man, Wisconsin, Jr, Cases

Police brutality and killings of Black folks are, unfortunately, as American as apple pie. Five years ago, Alfred Olango, a 38 year old refugee from Uganda, was shot four times by police on September 27, 2016 in El Cajon, CA. As is typical, the police who killed Mr. Olango have faced no accountability for their actions. Say His Name – Alfred Olango. Image is available as T-shirt, poster, postcard and button.

Take action to support this groundbreaking legislation! America is in the midst of a national reckoning on community safety. The current approach to public safety is not working — for children, for families, and particularly for Black and brown communities that have been devastated by mental health crises, substance use and criminalization.
