Dreaming of watermelon seeds I can plant where every home, school, faith space, hospital, nursing home, animal shelter, and neighborhood was erased so the vines can bring us together again - s. rose 🍉

@sfs_ucla “But what about Trump?”

Tens of millions of people across the country are deeply concerned about the prospect that Donald Trump will return to the White House. Faced with this profoundly troubling possibility, many feel like they have no choice but to view the election purely as a referendum on whether or not Trump comes back into power, regardless of who his opponent is.

But for people who want to defeat the racist, pro-corporate, anti-women, war-mongering and planet killing politics that Trump represents, this would be a big mistake.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

— Vincent Van Gogh

Spring is here and that means new growth, new knowledge, and new histories to recover 🌸

Please join us this Sunday as we will hold space with afrofeminist historian Dr. Nneka Dennie to reflect and reimagine the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. As we continue to watch and witness the resurgence of apartheid and white supremacy rippling across our world, upRooting our miseducation about our shared (and very segregated) history is essential to manifesting everyday resistance and reclamation in our community gardens, hearths, and (neighbor)hoods. Save your seat here~

📆 Sunday, March 24th at 12:00 PM (EST)

🎟️ To support the labor and liberation work of our speakers, this program is ticketed. (Patrons of the Antiracist Liberation can access the program and playback via Patreon | www.patreon.com/antiracistliberation)

⚠️ This program contains topics involving antiblack racism, family separation, cultural erasure, gendered violence, and a whole lot of white supremacy.

🍉 As we continue recovering our history, we also continue our solidarity and freedom struggle efforts to call for the end the apartheids and imperial projects in Palestine, Congo, Yemen, Sudan, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Hawai’i, Haiti, and across our indigenous, diaspora, queer, (dis)abled, and (dis)placed communities. None of us are free until we are ALL free to exist as our full selves free of colonialism.

Mermay is here!

It’s been a few years since I’ve participated in this challenge but when I saw Chloe.z.art’s prompt list on Instagram and I was immediately intrigued. The first prompt is ancient Egyptian mermaid and here is my offering!

I was inspired by a lot of Egyptian art and really wanted to incorporate some of the stylistic elements and lotus themes and referencing the fashion and wigs and ah it was so fun.

I am the artist! Do not post without permission & credit! Thank you! Come visit me over on: instagram.com/ellenartistic or tiktok: @ellenartistic

To be “woke” is be a conscientious objector

To be “radical” is to raise the stakes and standards

To be “anti-colonial” is to prioritize people over apartheid

To be “antiracist” is to manifest an existence built not on racism, but on joy and justice for all
