So many of you have been incredibly helpful in my efforts to source more explicitly anti-racist urbanism materials to incorporate into my @nyutandon #DesignofCities class. Paying it forward, below is a weekly reader of the writings/videos I've assigned thus far: FYI (RE ↕️): @SmartGrowthCEO @sarahysyed @awalkerinLA @alon_levy @sandypsj @ambrown @andredarmanin @Jay_Pitter @blackurbanist @schmangee @MZStrat @ULOCNetwork @eyesonthestorm @brentinmock @petesaunders3 @JRDNLTHMS @beyondchron @RachelAFisher @LellyK @alexfordowney @urbanistwil

Thinking of my #AAPI friends & how to make "sense" of this hate. @BreneBrown's post gets at its root & provides resources for how to fight it. One thing that comes to mind that isn't mentioned directly is how much hate has to do with fear of losing power.

Esp. losing "White" power, stemming from illogical thinking that this is a 0 sum game; that if there are winners, then there must be losers; that amplifying voices of the powerless & striving for equity means you'll be striped of something you feel you're entitled to or "earned."
