If you follow me on social media, you will see that I frequently share news about the Black Lives Matter movement, the protests that have been going on (finally!), and especially on Twitter, news about Black farmers and researchers and educators.
See, no lives matter until Black lives matter. Black people deserve full equality, equity, and equal power. I believe in reparations, though I'm still working out in my head what those could look like in detail; in destroying the effects of redlining and fixing that massive problem; the complete and full funding of schools with majority students of color; defunding the police and creating/recreating social support programs; more Black educators and farmers with programs in place to encourage them and support them; and so much more. If you aren't okay with my being an ally for Black and Indigenous people, for all Latinx people, for all LGBTQ+ people and for my trying to work for anti racism, then it's okay if you unfollow me or stop reading my blog. If you want to start a conversation, then this former high school teacher doesn't have a problem with that and helping you learn more about issues of equity and equality as long as you stay respectful of all people in your language. Black lives matter. Period.
