The day before I boarded a plane from NYC, my youngest sister sent me a text message that froze me in place. “Brother, it looks like all of the Sandovales have Covid,” it read in Spanish. ⁦The New York Times⁩ #pandemic #border #riograndevalley #TexasCOVID nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/…

"We can give all the education and information we want. But it doesn’t help if people don’t take that message and activate and use it in a real time real space," said BunB.eth in yesterday's webinar about #race and #racism with professor Anthony Pinn. bit.ly/32e2bb4

“And through the decades, he not only gave all of himself to the cause of freedom and justice, but inspired generations that followed to try to live up to his example.” Sad to hear of the passing of John Lewis. He definitely inspired so many of us and will continue to do so.

🙃

Make sure to tune in! Happening tomorrow at 11am.

Where’s the outrage? South Texas is burning. Check my math but in a county of <1 million this would be like 400 deaths in one day in Harris County (Houston). I’ve been saying the virus causing “historic decimation” in Hispanic communities. Thank you Deysy Rios for the alert

This article is beautiful, hits home. When asked what my motivation is, the answer is always, “My parents.” “It’s a quiet pledge many children of immigrants make early on — to care for our parents, to be their translators, their personal assistants, their protectors.”

Devastating. Unfortunately, there are many like Don Alvarez. We call them essential workers but don’t treat them as such.

“It takes a lot of bravery and dedication to decide to change your life for the better ⁠— even in the easiest of circumstances. To do so when everyone is rejecting you is an incredible act of courage.” bit.ly/32iB2lK

Currently reading “Disposable Domestics” by Grace Chang. She shows how US policies exploit the labor of undocumented immigrant women while they get very little or nothing in return.

One of the highlights of this semester for me is taking an Abolition course with Alan Dettlaff and now the school announces this 3-part series 👏🏽 Can’t wait!

I hope Roberto Lovato knows how much this books means to the Salvadoran diaspora. It means everything to have our stories shared by our own voices. Often the people everyone is listening to, look nothing like us, don’t have the lived experiences but are profiting out of our stories.
