Tapping into Joy for Racial Justice?





[image error]



Filling in the blanks



Friends, this is a brand new venture for me and I’m so glad you joined in. It may evolve, but here’s what I’m planning to do with it, based on input from friends:





a brief piece on a positive way I’m witnessing racial justice in the world, maybe with a couple of ways you could participate, or just so you can be reminded you’re not the only one in the world invested in this work.“What I’m reading” or “the podcast giving me life” and maybe a link to a song that’s really inspiring me, in case you need some inspiration.How to connect with my racial justice work at the bottom.



If you don’t know me, I’m the founder/director of a nonprofit I’ll probably brag about in a future newsletter. I have been involved in racial justice organizing for about 20 years at this point, and I also provide anti-racism/anti-oppression trainings along with faith-rooted organizing, cultural competence/cultural humility and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consulting for non-profits, for-profits, community members, educational institutions and faith communities. This monthly newsletter is mostly my way of reminding us all that in addition to dismantling systems of oppression, we are building something beautiful with every intentional act of justice. It’s my way of connecting to my community. I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you help me make it better.





Making racial justice a family affair



A friend of a friend is a fifth grade teacher just outside of Oakland where I live. She’s spending some of her online class time in October with her students helping them learn about activism and activists throughout history. 

In a couple of weeks they get to meet a real live activist…me!
