I’m cautiously watching this #AuntieNetwork thing spread. I want black women to lead anything like this or #undergroundrailroad2019 that draws on our cultural legacies in terminology but also because the needs of black & poor people must to be centered in these networks most.
If we are going to organize, we organize for real. There needs to be leadership. Not a leader singular, but leadership with a shared understanding & modeling of what being part of an #AuntieNetwork actually means.
Nice middleclass white ladies might tweet it but are you really open to having a poor black teenager show up on your door w/ a backpack & $20 to her name? What about if a young Latinx transman wants to stay with you? Who are you willing to auntie? Who are you prepared to support?
