Unlike borders, which are determined by colonizers and need to be abolished.

Can we invest in Environmental & Social Sciences for our kids? Maybe listen to the educators & researchers for once.

The theory of kyriarchy is that all systems of oppression are interconnected and form a larger, overall system of domination. This means that individually, in some aspects of our lives, we may experience marginalization and lack of power, while in other aspects of our lives we have privilege and power. ‘ https://theantioppressionnetwork.com/what-is-anti-oppression/. #Equality #antioppression

As someone who works in AI and Tech justice, I want us to be mindful of the incredible power available to us, and also, the immense danger of weaponization and carelessness in that power.
When AI models are created, trained, and applied with care, we have many avenues and opportunities available to us that can ensure empowering, not overpowering, outcomes.

It is to advocate for consent culture.

As someone who works directly with organizations on anti-oppression, I observe this every single day.

Dozens.
I said no to every single one.
If you need me review your “statement,” you are not even ready to do the action required to make a statement.

The white culture of thinking you can identify as a Person of Color simply because you like something about that culture.
It is not appreciation.
It is exactly the theft and erasure that live at the origin of genocide, enslavement, and colonialism.
