Text of the page (random words):
native people we must acknowledge this truth first so that we can begin to heal as a nation and move forward together but we must all remember that life is full of contradictions on the one hand today is a thanksgiving like no other but there are certain things that remain constant while there is so much suffering in this world and so many injustices and so much sadness there are also so many things to be thankful for and so many reasons to get up in the morning and keep moving forward i am watching my husband and daughter bicker as they make a mango pie thanks ny times and i am overcome with gratitude for them both in all of their excellent stubbornness and the other night while texting to gotv for the georgia senate runoff race i got this incredible reply when i reached out on behalf go the working families party btw we re white suburbanite retired people in roswell a suburb of atlanta worked all our lives to better our families not rich but have our hard earned savings and our children we pay attention we use our brains and reason we support we vote count on us and thank you again so very much crazy times but we will prevail you re a hero of our times also getting too wordy here please ignore the bigots and haters carry on with your ideals people with any sense will be with you and yours trump and followers are an aberration a cancer and not necessarily a sign of what s to come i fully believe we can change this it is people like this total strangers who help me to remember why we are all in this why america is actually a profound place to be and why this great experiment is worth fighting for so this year i am especially thankful for all of my various communities the man i parent with the kid i laugh with the family i grew up with the resisters i sing with the activists i fight alongside the friends that help me feel connected and all the strangers i have shared a moment with during this crazy year may this beautiful network continue to strengthen leave a comment share mail gotv shopping it s been a crazy couple of weeks hell it s been a crazy year and while we may not be able to bring the madness to a dead stop we can most certainly put the brakes on hard if we get out and vote so of course i hope you are all double checking your registrations and making sure you and your posse have a specific plan for voting you can also join the demo crew and reach out to potential voters to help us out with all of the above and then you can keep voting at the forefront of everyone s minds by rocking some of this gear because now is the time studies say that people respond more to being part of a group voters than to a command vote so invite them all to be a part of your glorious family of citizens with this t shirt they have hats masks and sweatshirts too i am a voter t 25 maybe you re playing tennis or basketball or maybe you hate sports but your feet are cold whatever the reason these are your socks so you can keep voting top of mind women s vote socks by kule 28 vote rhinestone bobby pin need i say more vote hair pin 29 if you say it over and over again maybe the message will get through vote sweatshirt 85 a safety pin to remind you of what you are supposed to be doing at some point between now and nov 3 vote pin 39 95 get your message across while also learning a new language that you can use when you go to the land of red wine and pain au chocolat clare v canvas tote 25 because it is a pandemic after all and we all want to stay safe vote masks 11 20 oh and by the way the enamel pin up at the top of the post is by madewell and runs 4 so you can get a few and give them to friends leave a comment share mail monday monday or a few links for givingtuesday even if you do noting else watch this trailer and make a plan to see just mercy when it comes out it seems like every day is hashtag something day and to be honest i would really love a bekindtoyourselfandturnofftheinternet day right about now but that s not happening any time soon and as today is the one day i can get behind i figure i may as well harness the power of the world wide web for good and highlight a few places that you might not be aware of and that are well worth donating to today is the day that we are supposed to give back hopefully after we ve shopped ourselves silly on blackfriday smallbusinesssaturday and cybermonday and there are so many organizations that could use the help especially in these crazy times if you are anything like me you probably feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do with the limited resources you have to spare so i thought i d help by narrowing the field a bit if you re concerned about women s reproductive rights or mass incarceration aka modern day slavery check out these slightly under the radar orgs where even just a few dollars will go a long way mass incarceration the equal rights initiative is a human rights organization in montgomery alabama working to eliminate unfair sentencing to exonerate innocent death row prisoners and to confront abuse of the incarcerated and mentally ill founded by bryan stevenson in 1989 eji has been working to change the narrative about race in america both in the courts and through writings films and memorials mr stephenson s memoir just mercy has just been made into a film by the same title it hits the theaters on december 25 and man after you see it which you will you will be so glad you supported this work the gathering for justice is working to build a national movement to end child incarceration while removing the racial inequities in the criminal justice system that enliven mass incarceration founded in 2005 by harry belafonte after he witnessed a news report of a 5 year old black girl being handcuffed and arrested in her florida classroom for being unruly the gathering is currently led by carmen perez and has been working tirelessly to engage disadvantaged and underserved communities in the work of empowering themselves to combat injustice in our prisons and on our streets women s reproductive rights we all know about the amazing work planned parenthood is doing but there are so many lesser known organizations where even a small donation can really move the bar check out these places the national network of abortion funds builds power with members to remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access by centering people who have abortions and organizing at the intersections of racial economic and reproductive justice the texas equal access fund provides financial assistance to low income people who want an abortion and can t afford it the center for reproductive rights uses the power of law to advance reproductive rights as fundamental human rights around the world leave a comment share mail it s mother s day again shopping every time someone asks me what i would like for mother s day and believe me i never tire of answering this particular question the first word that comes to my mind is sleep if only some enterprising entrepreneur could put a good night s sleep in a bottle and sell it i would have a lifetime subscription and i m sure i am not alone that said sleep is not currently for sale and mother s day is around the corner so i ve come up with a list of things that might at least help the mamas in your lives feel more rested cared for and loved goldie s candle club because what mom doesn t want an all natural mystically formulated scented candle arriving at her doorstep each month to help her find harmony with the seasons each candle also arrives with a beautifully written discussion about the particular qualities of each scent and how it relates to the time of ear it arrives photo courtesy of the alchemist s kitchen organic energy tonic by urban moonshine because the one thing all mothers can use is more energy and if we can get it through a combination of roots berries herbs and flowers from vermont all the better photo courtesy of the alchemist s kitchen cbd bath salts by vertly because nothing says relax like soaking in a big old tub of cbd infused oils i would like a lifetime supply please photo courtesy of laurensallpurpose com lauren s all purpose salve because what mom wouldn t appreciate a creamy salve full of sumptuous natural ingredients that is as good in your hair as it is on your elbows palms and feet photo courtesy of goop

in the right direction reverse global warming respect human rights and help people to live their fullest lives alexandria ocasio cortez narrates this beautiful short video by the intercept and naomi klein that imagines just that possibility from the vantage point of herself twenty some odd years from now i give you this beautiful vision of what the earth can be as a challenge what if we actually worked towards this positive future instead of assuming that the end of life as we know it is a foregone conclusion imagining that future is the first step in making that brighter reality possible because you can t be what you can t see leave a comment share mail thank you dr king links people photo carl de kayzer magnum photos first a much overdue thank you note dear dr king i don t even know where to begin there are so many obvious things i get to sit wherever i want on the bus drink from all the water fountains i can vote and while all of these things are rights that i believe are inalienable we all know that they were hard won for people of color in this country and you were right up front leading the charge but what i really wanted to write about and thank you for is how you continue to inspire me to stand up to today s oppression even long after you departed this world your righteous anger and boundless love your wise words and tireless energy your fierceness these are things that i carry with me even as i turn more toward women leaders as role models and mentors and as i look to my right and left for inspiration and teachings from my sisters who form so much of the front lines in the current struggles i still am uplifted by your eloquence your words spoken a half century ago continue to resonate today so thank you for mixing beauty and poetry with force and direct fierceness for being a foundational part of my activism for teaching me so much about the revolutionary power of love and for being a part of my revolutionary universe with gratitude bw and second for those who want to take a deeper dive into the man his life and his words here are a few links of interest the new yorker has a whole set of links to various articles they have published about martin luther king jr all interesting and worth checking out from late 1957 through december of 1958 dr king wrote an advice column for ebony magazine check out these selected letters from that year of advice for living here s an opinion piece in the new york times about mlk s critique of white northern liberalism these words are perhaps even more relevant today than they were in the late 60 s it would be well worth your time to listen to dr king read his letter from a birmingham jail which is arguaby his most important piece of writing it explains so precisely the ethos behind the non violent acts of civil disobediance and why they are so crucial in any fight for human rights and lastly a piece about 5 young women who are currently fighting for education in the spirit of dr king leave a comment share mail another year another givingtuesday links every year for givingtuesday i put up another photograph of hands this one belongs to josh before we were married it is one of the most generous hands i know ok so we re back here again living through the week where every day has a name that is supposed to inspire us to spend spend spend for the holidays for the most part i tend to plug my ears and pretend it s not happening until maybe halfway through hanukkah when i panic because we haven t started to deal with getting gifts out to the jewish half of the family in a timely manner maybe this year will be different but one hashtag i wholeheartedly support is givingtuesday which shines a light on giving to the non profit organizations that do so much of the heavy lifting in our communities especially now as government funding is being cut right and left i feel like so much attention lately has been placed on political campaigns at least in my inbox it s important to turn our attention to other areas all of which are in dire need of support as well here are some of the orgs my family is thinking about giving to this season chef josé andrés founded the world central kitchen in the wake of the 2010 hurricane that devastated haiti because he believed that food can be an agent for change the wck has expanded to serve underfed communities all over the world including the us with a network of chefs all working to empower people to be part of the solution with a focus on health education jobs and social enterprise the 24 hour plays bring together marquee artists to create time limited theater around the world and by time limited i mean write cast compose and produce entire pieces of theater in 24 hours they also mentor a young diverse group of theater artists 24 hour nationals and raise money to benefit the lilly foundation which uplifts women in theater storytelling is a crucial way that we as humans make sense of our surroundings and the group experience of watching a live performance fosters the type of community that is so important particularly during these turbulent times oh and also i m on the board so this crew is especially near and dear to my heart the studio museum in harlem showcases and supports the work of artists of african descent and celebrates black culture and its influences on both art and society it is more than a museum it is a cultural nexus a central gathering place for learning exchanging ideas and for celebration by and of the african diaspora in all of its incarnations art community better everything just saying next we have two organizations devoted to our oceans which by the way cover the vast majority of the earth s surface surfrider foundation is all about protecting the oceans waves and beaches for the use and enjoyment of all earthlings oceana focuses specifically on the world s oceans and works to protect and restore them to their former richness and diversity it is the largest
