It's taking place at the University of Rhode Island, so you could also come in person if you're local to the area!

Why is the presidential race so close? Every day we are subjected to DJT'S & JDV's racist/fascist lies with no seeming impact on half the electorate's support. Here's my explanation from January 2021. @blkwomenradical

Shout out to you for not only writing a book about identity politics and how it impacts EVERYTHING BUT that you name it too, and name it in the way that literally almost everyone gets it wrong!

Nothing compares to the historical, contextual, intersectional, coalition building, Black feminist analysis from a person in the struggle since birth (almost!).

Honored and grateful for this piece by @blackgirlinmain in her exploration about the often hidden lives and work of Black women and their greatness. In so many ways, Black women are often not "valued enough to be compensated and not taken advantage of..."
"I am currently a patron of The Smith Caring Circle that helps to provide her with an extremely modest level of support and which, in my opinion, is criminally underfunded given the impact of her work. "

I give to this "people's pension" for Barbara Smith, a fund for her ongoing activism since her life as a Black feminist pioneer left her outside salaried positions that would have given her a secure retirement. Sign up if you appreciate her ongoing work.
