7 years ago today @osopepatrisse @opalayo and @chasinggarza declared #BlackLivesMatter as a rallying cry for justice, right here in LA. In looking through my photos to see what happy memory I wanted to share, I found this amazing shot from 2018. We were all at @janefonda’s house, organizing with @reformlajails to demand our city NOT spend $3.5 billion on another prison, but instead invest in our communities. And thanks to the leadership of women like Patrisse, the tireless rally energy of @kendrick38, and a damn amazing group of friends and allies? We did that. Whether it’s making the news or behind the scenes, this group doesn’t give up on each other, or on our neighbors. Patrisse, thank you for leading, and building a table big enough for all of us to show and up and speak up. And for that SMILE! Happy Movement-versary. Onward. Love ♥️

Pride Month Spotlight: Alicia Garza

What’s Up. It’s Pride Month. I’m gonna try to post to all my social media every day this month with links to the pages of a contemporary LGBTQ+ person who I think doesn’t get enough credit and is really positively contributing to the pride I have in our community. Folx I’m proud to be associated with, if only by our identification as LGBTQ+. (Maybe I should just say I stan them.) 

A really easy way to become a better ally is to follow and learn from queer and trans folx. Let those already in the public eye educate you rather than making your friend or family member do it–and anyways, there are a lot of really inspiring people out there! You’ll be better off for learning what they’re up to!

First up! Alicia Garza

Garza is an writer and organizer who identifies as queer. She is most well-known as one of the co-founders of #BlackLivesMatter, an activist and organizing network devoted to anti-racism created following the 2013 murder of Trayvon Martin. She is currently a Director of Special Projects, Strategy, and Partnerships at the National Domestic Worker’s Alliance and previously served as the Director of People Organized to Win Employment Rights in San Francisco. She also recently co-created the women’s political action committee Supermajority, focused on working for a “women’s new deal,” with Ai-jen Poo, Cecile Richards, and the Facebook organizing group Pantsuit Nation. Garza has fought for a variety of progressive causes, drawing attention to police brutality, anti-trans violence, students’ and workers’ rights, and actively and powerfully opposing capitalisms and oppressions. She is married to trans activist Malachi Garza. Here is her most recent piece for Marie Claire on the South and abortion bans: https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a27615254/abortion-bans-the-south/. 

Her posts regularly highlight work by Black leaders, activists, and political candidates across the U.S. I especially love how she uses her platform to focus on local issues across the country and to help her followers find other activist and progressive folx and groups to support. Garza definitely recognizes the necessity of community and active allyship and is just an absolute icon, so. Having her pop up on my feed helps me keep centered on intersectionality, and focus on anti-racism in my queer-trans activism. She is a forward-thinking and inspired Black queer champion–I’m so glad she exists!

To those on Instagram that don't know me, call me Sterling. I'm a 24-year-old poetry writer, former math tutor, aspiring author, and self-employed journalist who wants to not only make a name for myself in the writing community but also be more and different than the average journalist. This new study guide I am working on is entitled "Correlation 104 - Is Joe Biden next for the Curse of Tippecanoe?" To those who were able to read my "Correlation 101 - The 2020 Census: An Unauthorized Recipe for the Coronavirus" study guide were surprised by that correlation, then get ready to be more shocked when I finish this one as soon as I can with as much detail as possible. Please do feel free and share this study guide introduction with anyone you know while I am working on the entire study guide that I plan on sharing with everyone for free. God bless and I will see you on the next page.

Reposted from @peopleiveloved [image: tweet by @theconsciouskid that reads “Did you know Martin Luther King, Jr. and Anne Frank were born in the same year in 1929? If they were still alive (as they should be), they would both be turning 92 this year. The Civil Rights Movement and Holocaust were not that long ago.” Below are side by side color photos of Martin Luther King Jr with Coretta Scott King (left) and Anne Frank (right)]⁠ ⁠ To honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we wanted to think about how recent this actually was. I thought a lot about what to post today. Post something we made, post something from someone else or post nothing. And decided on posting something that really spoke to me. In school when we learned about King and Frank, there was something really distant about it. Like we've learned from the past, it won't happen again. I know this is a position of privilege but that was my experience. ⁠ ⁠ How do we take the lessons from the past and use them to make a better future? How do we use love and peace as guides for being our best selves? I don't know. But I look to @michelleobama @aoc @opalayo @ibramxkendi @osopepatrisse @rossgay @robindiAngelo @jerichobrown1 @staceyabrams @ayannapressley @onbeing @chasinggarza ⁠ ⁠ I wanted to take some time to advocate checking out some of the people I go to for help in navigating life in these moments. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKM5jslAouy/?igshid=msu17lxybgjm

✊🏿⚖📢 #ArtIsAWeapon Thank you @osopepatrisse @chasinggarza @opalayo for creating and continuing the global @blklivesmatter movement for #BlackLiberation! 🖤 Reposted from @osopepatrisse 7 years ago today Black Lives Matter was born. We are so grateful for the gift of BLM. We took to the streets of Beverly Hills to protest the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer.

Love you @chasinggarza and @opalayo

And thank you @blmlosangeles for creating a Black political home in a city that continues to try and displace us and continues to kill us.

To all the BLM chapters and everyone around the world that used the hashtag and uses the phrase to uplift what’s happening in your country. We love you. We see you. We will continue fighting for you and with you.
