I hope y’all know Black organizers are afrofuturist workers. We draw lessons and culture from the Black past, our understanding of anti-Blackness shapes our present, and we are creating the world Black people both want and deserve.

The policies brought forth in @NYCMayor's blueprint "are not as mayor Adams says, it's not about public health or about public health solutions it's really about expanding the power of the #NYPD. " -@AnthoninePierre, @BKMovement

Up first: All this hour, we'll talk about Mayor Adams' blueprint for combating gun violence with @AnthoninePierre, @AbornforDA & @CourtInnovation's Elise White about, and YOU. Here are some discussion questions to get us started. Reply with your thoughts! https://t.co/0IN7YCKiBF
1. Does the Blueprint as a whole make you feel like New York City will be more safe for you and your children if this is all implemented? Why or why not?

This is the kind of leadership we need as we decarcerate and decriminalize! Gotta play “Dos Orguitas” for restorative justice circles.

As a high school intern at a museum in 2001, I made $8/hr—75 cents an hour more than my mom, who was a full time home attendant. This shit ain’t about skills, it’s about greed. Periodt.
@AchmatX There’s no such thing as a “low skilled” worker. It’s a myth created to try and justify overworking and underpaying some of the most essential workers in the country.

Cops* gon cop. *Black cops are cops.
