@YesAurielle So I saw the beginning of your thread at 5:30 and I logged off. I had a feeling about where it was headed and how painful revisiting might be. I remember lying on the street in the cold on NYE
@YesAurielle For Tamir Rice. There were about 20 people there. And then the women's March came around less than a month later and there were 15,000 white women. where the fuck were y'all? I haven't gone to a protest since the women's march. I stopped watching the news over a year ago.
@YesAurielle I have run some trainings, catered some events and phone banks, put down some money when I had it, But I'm not going in the streets again unless we're all going. The cost of this uncompensated labor for black people who give a crap is our sanity. Our peace. Our lives. No more.
@YesAurielle I agitate, educate and transform within a very niche environment that I actually have a chance of impacting, and I will continue to do so. I will come out for the #generalstrike, but until then I will focus my energy on building something new. White Supremacy is crumbling, and
@YesAurielle I want to live to see what's on the other side of it. I think it might be liberation.
Thank you for continuing to do this work in the way that you have the most impact. Take care of yourself before you go back out there, we need you to survive.
