Make no mistake about what we are seeing. This violent anarchy we are witnessing is about black and brown people exercising our right to vote and standing up to racism.

Let this sink in.

Addressing systemic racism is not about having conversations. It’s about changing policies that create and continue to cause racial and economic disparities.

The BRUTALITY of an Osceola County Sheriff's Office deputy body-slamming a student at Liberty HS in Kissimmee FL, hit so hard on concrete she likely lost consciousness! This was NOT a “minimal amount of force necessary” as dictated by the Dept’s use of force policy! We must demand justice!

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” — Elie Wiesel #HolocaustRemembranceDay

You know the thread you pull that unravels the whole thing? Well, it has just been pulled.

Take a deep breath, settle your spirit, Renew your strength strategize and let’s get to work.

“Eliminating 400 years of systemic racism certainly deserves a targeted economic stimulus of its own,” says Schott Foundation for Public Education’s Dr. John H. Jackson. So what is philanthropy’s role in the push for a Racial Equity Stimulus? schottfoundation.org/blog/2021/02/2…

Calls for unity and healing must be accompanied by real work to build bridges of understanding. We must work to develop capacity for empathetic caring across racial, ethnic, political, religion, and identity barriers.

Thanks Michelle Miller for representing girls from the hood and canned cranberry sauce….and I know you didn’t have time to get into the whole food insecurity issue. We couldn’t find fresh cranberries in the hood! #HappyThanksgiving2021

When you pick up your Thanksgiving groceries or stop by for some Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, remember that essential workers keep us all going and we owe them strong labor protections in return.

As we celebrate today, let's also hold space for our Indigenous family. May we heal, give thanks, and continue to educate ourselves on the history of oppression, colonization, and erasure that continues to occur on this land.✊🏾💞
