Help Identify & Catch Domestic Terrorists
Follow @homegrownterrorists, the instagram account helping to name the insurrectionists from the pro-Trump riot in DC on January 6th. The best part? All the people identified are being caught either from the news footage or their own uploaded social media photos. "An Instagram account called @homegrownterrorists that cropped up on Wednesday quickly gained more than 241,000 followers and shared the identities of at least 22 people." - The New York Times "An Instagram page is I

Rethinking Thanksgiving
Some Indigenous Peoples refer to ‘Thanksgiving’ as the ‘National Day of Mourning.’ It is a day founded in a myth about this country’s origin--one that reframes a long history of attempted genocide as a friendly feast. This year many people are mourning loved ones lost to COVID, as well as state and vigilante violence. So what does 'Thanksgiving' even mean this year anyways? Let's rethink. This ‘Thanksgiving’ let’s look at the myths and lies the US is founded on and get aligne

Appropriately Handle Being Called Out For A Microagreession
Step 1 - Don't make it about you. Microaggressions are the everyday indignities and insults that members of marginalized groups endure in their routine interactions with people in all walks of life.

Take a breath. Being called

Answer Your White Child's Questions on Race
"If parents don’t explain why these inequities exist — that they exist because of longstanding systemic racism in this country — children will assume they must be justified or 'natural.'" - Kelsey Borresen There is never too young of an age to bring up race while raising your child. If Black parents need to teach their children about race in order to help them survive and thrive in an unjust and racist world, then White parents better be doing the same. Remember, there is no

Fight for Breonna Taylor
An EMT working on the COVID-19 frontlines was shot 8 times by police. In her own bed. Even though her apartment complex was a different building than the suspects’ - who had already been taken in. Read the full Washington Post article at: https://t.co/FtYumydpK8?amp=1. The more noise we bring to the prevalence of these heinous crimes - the more likely those with power to get justice will do something. You are not an anti-racist by your thoughts or what you think you will do.

A Few Ways to Help During the COVID-19 Pandemic
It's an easy time to be frustrated. Yes, our national government needs to take responsibility and do more to help the tens of thousands affected negatively during this coronavirus pandemic. But the question has never been solely about what your country can do for you. The question is: What are *you* doing personally to help alleviate the suffering of others? Need some ideas on how to take action? Donate blood. Find a local blood donation center at: www.redcross.org/give-blood

How to Talk To Your Family About Racism
It’s time to get uncomfortable, America. And I don’t just mean from how much you’re going to overeat tomorrow for Thanksgiving. "As America sits down to give thanks for a country founded on the pain of many, we can't dismiss the irony of what is being celebrated." - Rachel Elizabeth Cargle It’s time to get uncomfortable and talk about racism. No blowing it off as “not appropriate for the holiday dinner table” or “we’re not racist,” or “let’s focus on love during this season.”
