PSA: If there’s work to be done in social justice spaces, from environmental to food, to the courts, to state and sexual violence, guaranteed Black women are already doing it. Seek out these women instead of screaming: “WHY IS NO ONE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS.” Someone always is.
"When we talk about systemic violence and white supremacy, the system is not broken. It needs to be, because it's functioning exactly as it was intended to function" - @KWestSavali #CRTSummerSchool

“Our identities are inherently made political. Our speech, no matter what we're saying - even us saying that we are tired is a political statement.”- @KarenAttiah #HerDreamDeferred
"Black Women's hyper visibility but continuing vulnerability, makes us clear targets for the right, and even some on the left, who prefer black women's silence over our leadership." - @KWestSavali #HerDreamDeferred
"James Baldwin teaches us that the victim that is able to articulate their circumstances ceases to become a victim and then becomes a threat." -@KWestSavali #HerDreamDeferred

You are now rocking with the best! 🤘🏽 #UrbanOne #RadioOne #iOneDigital #HoustonCrew #AllBlackEverything
This is one of two padded cells in the Adams County jail where people await psychiatric treatment through the civil commitment process. Conditions are so bad that most people charged with crimes–but not people awaiting treatment–are sent to a different jail. (THREAD)
This is journalist Salam Mema. Her Facebook offered a window into motherhood. In July, she shared a photo of her 3 young children. “They are a part of my soul,” she wrote before an Israeli airstrike killed her and her family, according to the Coalition for Women in Journalism
After the Hamas attack, Lafi rushed to report near the Erez crossing between Gaza and Israel, Roshdi said. Lafi was killed as Israel retaliated and fighting broke out Roshdi remembered Lafi as "talented and creative." He died 2 weeks after his friend washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/…
This is Ibrahim Lafi. His Instagram documented birds, horses and sunsets. One image shows a full moon above water. In another, a rainbow arches across Gaza City. Lafi, 21, also used Instagram to capture the hardship in Gaza: buildings reduced to rubble, people mourning the dead.
On Wednesday, Roshdi sent @NihaMasih this photo of him with his late colleague, Ibrahim Lafi, who he said had a “big dream of being an international journalist.” Both young men worked for Gaza’s Ain Media. Both killed just days apart in Israeli airstrikes, friends say.
4 days ago we interviewed Roshdi Sarraj for a @washingtonpost story about the 23 journalists killed in the Israel-Gaza war. Roshdi, also a journalist, spoke of his late Palestinian colleagues with pride. Today we discovered that Roshdi was killed in an Israeli strike on his home
Why do so many Black activists support Palestinians? Black American activists and Palestinians have showed solidarity with each other since the 1960s, as oppressed peoples fighting colonial powers.
Rhetoric & narratives matter- the language of liberation matters. Thank you to the panelists for discussing the importance of language & the honesty of words, & reminding us to be critical of the language co-opted/used improperly in media headlines & policy reform measures
