Can we stop referring to oppressed people as 'those closest to the problems'? The perpetrators of the problems are just as close to them. They simply have the luxury of not being adversely affected by them.
This euphemism obscures a critical truth of how oppression works.

I am really proud of our work @Butler_Fund to support SNAP (food stamp ) and Medicaid expansion. The safety net matters. How Poverty Programs Aided Children in West Virginia - The New York Times nytimes.com/2022/09/12/us/po…

The historic flooding continues, but we already know it's going to require a lot of resources in the coming days. We're collecting verified information on donation funds, resources for local and state official communications, and other helpful info here: appalshop.org/floodsupport

The death penalty is fundamentally a poor person’s issue. I have never met a single person with money or resources on death row. Capital punishment means “those without the capital get the punishment.”

The number of women behind bars has risen dramatically in the U.S. over the last four decades.
Many of those women are survivors of domestic violence.
@IAmAmnaNawaz reports on that connection and the scars that remain for many. to.pbs.org/3qjs56O

Dear Nonprofit Industrial Complex: If you’re not saying&doing things that could get you fired/make ppl angry/uncomfortable You’re enabling a system of oppression. There is no nice or polite way to dismantle systems&be anti-racist. Be unapologetically for justice&liberation. – at Reston, VA

"The system we need can’t just be about preventing and ending homelessness. It can’t even be about promoting housing stability for everyone. It needs, rather, to be focused on justice. On housing justice. Racial justice. And health justice."

Black folks death, labor, & trauma can no longer be the motivation for us to take meaningful action towards racial equity & justice. We deserve more. Joy, justice, liberation, & rest is our birthright.
