As someone who knows nothing about cars, I weirdly enjoyed watching #DriveToSurvive on #Netflix, the #FormulaOne docuseries đđđ
I found some interesting parallels with my experiences as an #ECR.

Before we get started, I acknowledge my privilege as an academic with ongoing employment.
I acknowledge many ECRs will face additional challenges I haven't covered in this thread. Feel free to add your own observations đ
OK, "LET'S GO!" (that's an F1 rallying cry, btw!)

What's the best for ECRs way to emulate them?
Keep showing up, especially in the face of failure:
âą pick yourself up after disappointment
âą don't let negative feedback derail you

So today is me & Connieâs anniversary!
On today last year, I just went to the school board meeting to speak because Dadrius Lanus asked me to come. For years we had pushed to change the name of Lee High School,

Connie was shopping while people were sharing their heart on the issue.
Yâall know how the rest of the story went. Connie walked out. We changed the name of the school to Liberty High School, but sheâs still on the board.

I never imagined that night at the meeting the video would go viral, and millions would watch it. I was simply showing up in my community because I care. Your love and support over the last 365 days has blown me away and given me deep joy.
Thank you to each individual who believed in this campaign. Thank you to every person who gave their resources, time, and positive energy in our direction.
Last night we came 1500 votes short of knocking out a sitting state Senator thatâs been elected 20 years.

No one thought we had a shot. The polls said we were at 6%, we finished with 21.3% of the vote. Thatâs due to my amazing team, thank you for everything you sacrificed and have to this team. I appreciate you. We earned every single vote we got.
We had almost no institutional support, but we had a belief in progressive values and that THE PEOPLE deserve more.
To my family, thank you for sacrificing in ways most will never know so I can stand and fight for what I believe in.

You can remove Trump or he can stay until January 20th.
You can remove him from social media.
His ideology is American, because white supremacy was in the fabric of the founding documents of this nation.
Trump is & always has been an example of what is beneath the surface.

Millions of Americans voted for this man.
Millions of Americans believe that if Black people are voting at high numbers itâs rigged.
Their ancestors worked hard to restrict our vote, because they understood the power that came with giving us the ballot.

The question becomes, not what to do with Trump.
There are Trumps at every layer of government, nationally & locally.
The question is when do we get serious about ending the systems of white supremacy?
The time is now. #KeepPushing #ChangeisComing

Celebrate, but donât you dare think the 71 million people who thought a bigot in the White House was acceptable arenât fuming right now.
Trump helped make clear how deeply divided this nation is. That wonât go away with Biden & Harris.
White supremacist are real & angry now.

Decency has never been his thing, and it isnât for his supporters either. They voted for him. Which means to whatever degree they agree with his approach.
Expect pushback from them in the days ahead.

America has always been the country weâve seen for the last 4 years through a Trump presidency. It will be that tomorrow, and the day after.
Which means we have to protect ourselves and be careful of our surroundings. Everybody in the crowd isnât a supporter. Know this.

Net dit artikel gelezen. In Maart zei ik dit al. In April liet de data het zien (London, VS). In Juni was er amper specifieke voorlichting voor deze groepen 'niet nodig'. Het resultaat bewijs zich. Dat ligt ook vaak aan politiek waar te weinig oog is voor dit deze groepen.
Als het gaat om ziekte worden deze gemeenschappen altijd harder getroffen, feit. Ongeacht kleur overigens. (dat ligt meer aan taal, bereik, onderwijs, socioeconomische status, sociale bubbels dan iets anders). Daarom moet je de lange termijn strategie ook goed uitdenken.
Kan er epistellen over volschrijven en misschien doe ik dat wel een andere keer voor nu wil ik vooral actie en strategien zien. google.com/amp/s/amp.thegâŠ
To every outcast. To everyone they told find a different approach. To every person whose been told being you wasnât enough, or being you was âtoo muchâ.
Stand in the light, speak the truth, and #KeepPushing weâve got work to do. Donât let the naysayers stop you.

I thank God daily that Heâs allowed me to be true to me even in the moments no one else understood who I was. Everybody wonât understand you, or your why. Thatâs ok. Do you and let the chips fall where they may.
If your intentions are pure and your heart is right, youâll see the promise. I love yâall, and I mean it. #LetsGoHigher
America can continue to lace injustice with fancy words & sympathetic speeches.
Black people have known Americaâs justice system to be a lair from inception.
We know injustice when we see it. We ainât stupid.
Kentucky & this nation have denied #BreonnaTaylor justice.

You can dress it in Black skin, with a degree, & a suit. Or you can put a hood on & burn a cross. Black people know America all too well.
Any system that allowed the slavery of other humans to exist is corrupted from the start. The founders built a nation to protect them.

It must be our dedication as Black people to never relent in our pursuit of a more just America.
We didnât pick America, they picked us.
Therefore we have a right to fight. For #BreonnaTaylor and the countless others unjustly killed by the government.

Still think itâs a game? Voter suppression is real.
On National Voter Registration Day the Louisiana Secretary of State let the Geaux Vote website go down for maintenance.
Knowing there would be national drives to push people to register to vote.

Louisiana is the second Blackest state in America. Meaning we have a higher percentage of Black voters than every state but Mississippi.
Still think itâs a game? People donât try to take something from you that had no value. They know our power, so they want to block us.

Kyle Ardoin is a Trump supporter. Of course he doesnât want more registered voters.

We are at war. Republicans donât play fair.
Republicans are liars and cheats. We are watching them on video lie, back to back. Why? All they care about is power.

So people like Sen. Dianne Feinstein and those who feel like we shouldnât go all out for the Supreme Court are a problem. We need to recognize that even most of our Democratic senators a rich, privileged, white folks who donât have the same risk at stake.
If you are Black, everything weâve fought for is on the line right now. Itâs that serious.
Weâve got to stop pretending republicans give a damn about bi-partisan politics. They donât. They want absolute control and power.

Elections have consequences, we are watching them play out in real life.
Replacing Justice Ginsburg is a prime example of the consequences at stake from staying home for this election.
We donât get to opt out for the part of this we donât like.

This is the long game, and it requires our commitment to the act of voting. Thatâs foundational.

Tell them, after reconstruction they stripped our rights for 100 years. We have seen America use the courts against us. Weâve seen America use itâs legislative powers against Black people. We have been one of the greatest casualties of Americaâs racism.
We need to make elected officials uncomfortable until Election Day & beyond.
People in public service need to have an understanding that we arenât going to let them just rob us anymore. That if we are uncomfortable with the choices they make on our behalf,

Shoutout to @rolandsmartin for having me on his panel today. Gratitude brother.
How we respond to the fall of our people says more about us, than it does about their actions.
Iâve been lied on, lied to, and even had people to lie for me when I didnât ask them to do so.
Iâve seen people make memes of me, ridicule me and had friends sit in silence.

Iâve seen people make memes of me, ridicule me and had friends sit in silence.
So when I see other Black people being discussed in a negative way I ask myself a few questions.
How does my voice help or hurt Black people in this moment?
Is this a public issue or should it be private?
Should this even matter to our community?

If my voice isnât needed, it doesnât hurt Black people directly, or itâs a private issue, I stay out of it.
Unless you are bringing harm to my people, Iâve got better things to do than sit in the comments dragging other Black people.
America does enough of that.
Everyday.

Start hitting these cities and states in the pockets. If a state is going to protect killers hit their pockets.
Any major company or industry can do the same thing.

The Celestine Twins 16 have been unjustly harmed by Police in Lafayette a taser used on one teen in June, & beat up the other just this weekend. Mayor @JoshGuilloryUSA needs to get control of his police and fire bad cops. Here is his email: MayorPresidentsOffice@LafayetteLA.gov
The mayor needs to understand the country is concerned about what happens to Black citizens in his city. He canât hide behind rhetoric. We see whatâs taking place because other brave citizens are filming your police since your department wonât release tax payer funded body camera
All people want is equal treatment under the law. If these were white teens in your neighborhood would the actions of your officers be justified against white teens? Over policing is bad policing.

Donât get caught up on Joe Biden or Donald Trump, itâs deeper than that.
When a cop kills you, the president canât arrest the cop or file charges. Your local mayor, chief of police, and district attorney control that. Itâs levels to this.

The âjustice systemâ has no issue bringing charges against Black men and women.
Thatâs why the courts proceeded with Jacob Blakeâs previous charges.
Itâs proof that if the system wanted to deal with the cop who shot him, they could. They would, if justice were equal.

But Justice is not equal in America.
Thatâs why 100+ days later Breonna Taylorâs killers are free.
Itâs why #JaceBoyd is out on bond after murdering Danny Buckley.
There is no shortage of comparisons, the list is long.

I ran for office last year. Voter turnout was 45% in a majority Black district.
People say run for office, we do. Good people are on the ballot & we have folks ONLY focusing on the top of the ticket. The presidential race.
Thatâs flawed logic. Let me explain.

Black folks are getting slaughtered by police, controlled by mayors and city councils. If we want change, vote for more progressive mayors and city council members.
Trump and Biden are distractions honestly.

Your city council is why your street has potholes.
Your state legislature is why cops have qualified immunity.

In 2016 when we attempted police reform there was a critical vote and Tara Wicker abstained from several votes to reform the police department. It lead to those issues being deferred until after the 2016 elections, the council ended up not approving a single reform to the police
department, in part because of Wickers votes or lack thereof. Then they created a group that has no power to be âambassadorsâ for the department.
In 2018 there was a vacancy on the council. For the first time in HISTORY there was an opportunity to balance the Metro Council
In 2018 there was a vacancy on the council. For the first time in HISTORY there was an opportunity to balance the Metro Council
here in Baton Rouge. Wicker went with âcouncil traditionâ against the overwhelming will of the Black community to send the vacancy appointment to the governor instead of allowing a bias council to decide. Tara Wicker voted against the majority of voices that appeared that night,
Judge Kelly Balfour on the 19th JDC gave #JaceBoyd a $300k bond with NO CONDITIONS for a Second Degree Murder charge. I called the jail myself to find out the conditions of his bond.
Meaning if Boyd bonds out of jail he is free to roam the streets of Baton Rouge and kill again.
Meaning if Boyd bonds out of jail he is free to roam the streets of Baton Rouge and kill again.
No ankle monitor, no curfew, ZERO conditions on his bond.
When Black people commit second degree murder they will almost always have conditions on their bond.
If you want to understand how the system is rigged in the favor of white people, here it is.

This confederate loving bigot, who killed an unarmed Black elder can bond out and be any where. Maybe Judge Balfour thinks heâs not a threat, maybe not to white people....

Black people, stop running from the âradicalsâ in our community. There is nothing radical about loudly demanding justice, equity, and progress for our people. There is nothing radical about calling our Americaâs bull. There is nothing radical about self defense.
Itâs American as apple pie.
If we as a people are going to defeat those who seek to keep us oppressed we need ALL OF US. The rich and the poor. The old and the young. The loud and the quiet. The activist and the scientist. The teacher and the entertainer. We need US ALL.

Alright, the Players in the @NBA just set the example.
College football players in the @SEC youâve got the power to stop the machine that is college football.

They love to watch you play football, but if you get away from that campus and encounter a cop that doesnât know you â it can end for you in seconds. Just like #TrayfordPellerin. You and your girl can be sleep in bed and they kill her like they did #BreonnaTaylor.
If they love football so much, make them see your humanity.
