#ShowingUpForRacialJustice

Erica Palmisano Mar 13, 2023

Listening to the livestream of the End Medical Debt speakout of folks in Annapolis. They began by acknowledging the passing of a man who spent a huge part of his life organizing for racial justice, healthcare access, and economic opportunity. He showed up for decades for himself and for others. He will be missed at SURJ Baltimore but we will continue many of his efforts, including our coalition work. #EndMedicalDebtMaryland #ShowingUpForRacialJustice

Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lens

Looking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/

The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest

I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens

The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others

Anti-Racist Starter Pack

Resources to read, unlearn, relearn, and to continuously educate yourselves with. This is not a moment, but a collective movement. Black liberation is liberation for all.
