Really excited about this conversation, join us next week!

As always, my sister speaks with courage, conviction, hope, and revolutionary love… And, as always, I am the proudest little sister “Revolutionary Love”: Michelle Alexander on Gaza, Solidarity, MLK & What Gives Her Hope democracynow.org/2024/3/13/mich…

30 years ago today, my dad went to be with ancestors. I still miss him every day. As I witness the unfolding genocide in Gaza, and brute police violence used against peaceful protestors, I know he would be so disappointed to see that nothing has truly changed since he left…

So much has changed about this place since I was a kid, but it still feels like coming home. I feel more myself here than anywhere else…
