A magazine of Black politics and culture

Hammer & Hope is a new magazine of Black politics and culture. It is a project rooted in the power of solidarity, the spirit of struggle and the generative power of debate, all of which are vital parts of our movement toward freedom.

We are inspired by the courageous in Alabama whose lives and struggles to organize against capitalism and white supremacist terror in the 1930s and 1940s are memorialized in Robin D. G. Kelley’s book “Hammer and Hoe,” from which we take our name.

We will envision collectively what a better future might look like and the strategies that could get us there. Such an undertaking compels us to deepen our knowledge of history, politics, culture and our own movements.

Our aim is to build a project whose politics and aesthetics reflects the electric spirit of the protesters who flooded the streets in 2020, a project that breathes life into the transformative ideas pointing us towards the world we deserve.

Come join us. We have a world to win.

Podcast: BROKE-ISH

In the Broke-ish space we talk about all of the unbelievable *ish that America has done to Black people to keep us in this Broke-ish state.

Latest Episode: Lights, Camera, (Affirmative) Action!
Black Power Media 01:05:29

This payday, Amber and Erika are unpacking the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on affirmative action in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College.

We discuss the significance of the Court holding that race conscious admissions policies violate the 14th Amendment.
But more importantly, we walk through how this ruling highlights America’s historical dishonesty regarding the enduring impact and present perpetuation of systemic racism.

Finally, by revealing who the people and institutions are behind this litigation, we drop the scoop on the far reaching implications of this case and what’s coming next. Take a listen to see what we have to say!

The top post is a point-by-point breakdown of the trans genocide in the US, written by my partner @born_after_old. She is a disabled Black trans woman who is having trouble getting used to the Fediverse and asked me to post this on her behalf.

Despite progress, the news in America still has a long way to go in terms of true racial bias progress. Black voices are often ignored or drowned out by mainstream outlets, and real representation is yet to be achieved, Isaac Newton Farris Jr explains.

“We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity.”

@Deglassco Yes! I am still learning about the myriad and (to me) previously unknown ways. I’m living and learning.

@futurebird @SamYoung841 There's nothing wrong with anyone going viral here. Boosting posts helps us all see interesting toots we might not have otherwise seen. My comment was rooted in countering the long tradition of the white world co-opting and redirecting attention onto the white voice trying to reinterpret what was originally being said. I'm NOT saying the OP was trying to do that in this case, but was gently pointing out there are alt ways of extending a convo without QTing.

You can follow the hashtags and the voices that bring you joy on the but don't get complacent. Still search that , , , hashtag. You'll realize you could be missing a lot if you stop looking for it.
