“This project represented the liberation of Blackness for me. As a Black man that has felt silenced, this creative helped me find my voice again. Juneteenth is a celebration of our growth, as we celebrate our Blackness, and the progress to come. I acknowledge this moment in history that has helped shape us, and even though there is still work to be done, this day brings a remembrance that change is possible.”
Director@kvvadwo goes deeper into the true meaning of freedom, and what Juneteenth represents in America today. Hear powerful stories surrounding the legacy of Juneteenth from the artists who’ve lived them. http://apple.co/Juneteenth2021

Happy #juneteenth !!! before COVID, I had the amazing opportunity to work with Alabama Public Television and interview Alabama house representative Terri Sewell; THE FIRST Black woman to be elected congress in Alabama! was such an inspiration to hear about her experience as a young Black girl with the passion for change. Terri Sewell advocates for voting rights—well known for sponsoring the Voting Rights Advancement act: which would update the Voting Rights Act of 1965, by providing increased oversight over voting changes, updating the pre-clearance formula to oversee contemporary discrimination patterns, and expanding the power of the Attorney General to send federal observers to jurisdictions in areas at risk for discrimination during voting. (WE TOTALLY NEED THAT ATLANTA!). We discussed how to get your voice heard through voting even when you’re young (). We also got to (personally) weigh in on a vote she had to do after our meeting about whether or not to pass a bill against teen vaping. We need more Black faces in legislature

Israeli colonial settlers raided the Palestinian Al Fara'a refugee camp, north of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, today (July 16th)
Medhat Essawi, The story of a hug that’s 8 yrs late.
#Palestinian lives matter #Save the Palestinians #Our land No peace
A soldier of the “world’s least moral army” spraying pepper at a press‘ face to prevent him from documenting their terrorism in Palestine.
Typical terrorists. Israel is nothing but a political cult, same as ISIS covering their war crimes in name of religion. Fuck Izrael and the world’s double standards.
Muhammad Tamimi, a 17 year old resident of Nabi Saleh, was shot and killed by IDF soldiers in his own village today. The regular loss of Palestinian children’s lives due to soldiers’ unregulated use of excessive force is impossible to bear.
Decolonization now.

And refuse to change it, despite a large outcry in the relevant communities.
So Portland does what Portland does, and mutual-aids it instead.
