Anyway, if you're in the US and you live in a place that has a local #ShowingUpForRacialJustice chapter, you should absolutely get involved because they are a precious resource!
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
