Perhaps, Gillum's public sharing of his bisexuality, alongside his wife, will open up room for more Black men to do the same -- and for Black women to deal with the Heterosexism we continue to invest in too.

Terrified but determined, I am thrilled to announce the relaunch of Anna Julia Cooper Center as an independent entity. Leading AJC was the most important work I’ve ever done. One step at a time— we are returning.

"The solution to anti-Asian violence is not more policing. We interrupt violence as we have always done—we bear witness to the times and like Yuri we move with a heartbeat of struggle." Read more on GenForward Survey and Black Youth Project #BYP: bit.ly/3vMPvUR

Remember that on Friday November 19 2021 #KyleRittenhouse was found not guilty & Joe Biden gave an additional $139 million dollars to police! Just in case y’all got confused about this country being a white supremacist nation. #abolishthepolice apnews.com/article/busine…

Your NATIONAL CHAMPIONS for 17U Club…1st Alliance 17 Black 🏆🥇

Together with Movement 4 Black Lives we sampled Black individuals from across 50 states and D.C. and found that 2/3 of Black people express support for reallocating part of police budgets towards investments such as healthcare, education, and housing.

GenForward and @mvmt4bl recently released a survey that found 92% of Black people in the US would rather call a mental-health crisis center instead of the police. This highlights the desire for alternatives to law enforcement, especially in Black communities.

Take a look at the new joint study and report from M4BL and GenForward on Black people's views on the policing and the possibility of truly producing public safety for our communities.
