This thread will provide updates re: mobilization of global relief efforts in the wake of #HurricaneBeryl, with organizations from both the private and public sector. Special attention will be given to Carriacou, Petite Martinique, Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 🧵

I'm sharing this because, even though it's reduced me to tears, it's good to see Carriacou people and not just images of destroyed buildings. My heart is completely broken for Carriacou. I can't stop crying. If you can help, please help! My people need it youtu.be/iSY8Vz1Mvuk?si…

Our thoughts are with everyone in the Caribbean affected by hurricane Beryl. Please share the initiatives launched to assist.

We are seeking submissions for a British Latinx special issue of Wasafiri, to be guest co-edited by Leonardo Boix (@leoboix) and Karina Lickorish Quinn (Dr Karina Lickorish Quinn), and published in winter 2025.

1. There is a petition to sign (see tweet 2) about Goldsmiths, University of London wanting to close the Black British Literature course. Prof Deirdre Osbourne has been pioneering in this field and through this course. theguardian.com/education/arti…

The MA Black British Literature at Goldsmiths is still under threat of closure, and one of its core co-founders Prof Deirdre Osborne is under threat of redundancy. Working with her as a co-editor and -organiser for #TakingtheMic has been vital too. Please sign this letter & RT

In more joyous news - happy (belated) #caribbeanlitday. As you (re)read some of the best literature in the world (see below), please also consider contributing to ongoing relief work following #HurricaneBeryl. Info doc here ⬇️ docs.google.com/document/d/1it…
