Black-Palestinian solidarity was at the heart of the Civil Rights Mvmt. From Malcom X, MLK Jr, to Muhammad Ali. Nelson Mandela, even after 30 years in jail - was loud with his support. No lives shouldβve been lost AND the condemnation is a purposeful narrative
speak your truth!

published this love letter to Rockaway & the moms I organize with & their patient kids, to guerilla gardeners who throw sunflowers in vacant lots, to DIY climate organizers who plant milkweed in hopes the monarchs might return, to blaine's rice & peas, and to you, if you read it!

Standardized tests are racist. There's so much our kids need to learn, and 'teaching to the test' is a waste of their precious time. Join @NYCOptOut @AQE_NY @EducationCounc1 @MOREcaucusUFT @integratenyc for this teach-in with @JamaalBowmanNY!
Send a letter to your city council rep and the NYC Mayor to demand a budget that fully funds the People! Use this tool for easeβ¦

@NYCMayor is cutting libraries, schools, pre-K for 3-year-olds, CUNY & core social services. Unless New Yorkers fight back, there will be major cuts by June 2023. Email the Mayor & your Council Member TODAY to demand #CareNotCuts! We want a #PeoplesBudget! tinyurl.com/peoplesbudget202β¦

CM Joanna Ariola got up and left the hearing as soon as public comment β opened by @NYCLU β began.
Ariola claimed the key to fixing the NYPD was giving them more funding (hasnβt been shown to work) and giving them more respect on the job (doesnβt make any sense).

Sighβ¦ bruh.. as a journalist (?) and failed politician (?) you should know better than this. The safest βhoods have the most resources NOT cops. Lumping all these βhoods together and speaking for the people in them is not it β οΈ
