Today is the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most prominent leaders in the civil rights movement. However, his message has been misquoted and misinterpreted by both conservatives and liberals, who have filtered his legacy through a revisionist lens to bolster their own political agendas. Unfortunately, this has resulted in the sanitization of his legacy and the discrediting of what it truly means to fight for social and racial justice. In this newsletter, we invite you to read and listen to Dr. King in his own words.

Last week, we shared resources on how to have tough conversations this holiday season. An important part of that—especially when speaking to people directly impacted—is tone policing, and how society can be quick to discredit valid arguments when they’re not delivered in a way that suits the oppressor.
Take Action
- If a person's tone challenges you, use it as an opportunity for self-reflection. Consider: why does their language or tone provoke a reaction in me? Where is my emotional response to this coming from? What biases do I hold? What are the privilege and power dynamics at play here? Are my feelings valid or take precedence over that of the person's statement/feelings?
- If you identify as a person of color, consider how tone policing might show up in your relationship with yourself. How can you reclaim space for your emotions today?

I’m no stranger to this type of attack, and they’re irrelevant compared to the violence that people in Gaza are experiencing, and have experienced for generations.
It’s been unnerving to read them in my inbox as so many stories of violence against Black women circulate in the media. Though these stories are separate from the conflict, they speak to how Black women are routinely used as an outlet for others' rage and hate. As a victim of sexual assault myself, it’s never easy reading these headlines, but it’s been especially difficult when my personal channels are hateful, too. Today’s newsletter reflects the latest news and the misogynoir that runs as the throughline to each story.
Take Action:
- Read the We All Deserve Safety and Peace report, which highlights the growing attacks on Black women and other women of color in social justice spaces.
- Read Misogynoir Transformed by Moya Bailey.

Happy Wednesday! Revolutions throughout history are nearly always violent. And in the U.S., we glorify the stories of revolution when they fit our narrative, and shame them when it doesn’t. Our understanding of the revolution in today’s newsletter came with time, and the collective understanding of the horrors of slavery that came with. As you read, consider: what other revolutions have you read about as a child? Which communities were celebrated? And which were overlooked?
Take Action
- Support political prisoners and prisoners of war incarcerated for alleged actions against oppressive systems.
- Support the Palestinian Youth Movement campaign to defend Palestinian resistance against apartheid.

Good morning and happy Monday! Last week, Tracy Chapman became the first Black artist to win Song of the Year at the annual Country Music Awards. Her song, "Fast Car," was released thirty-five years ago, but gained popularity over the past year after it was covered by white male country artist Luke Combs.
For them, writer Abby Monteil noted that "Fast Car" is an iconic working-class and lesbian anthem. But recognition for non-white male singers in country, folk and other forms of Americana music is scarce. This reminded me of today's newsletter, which was originally published a year ago. It emphasizes the importance of diversifying these genres so the artists celebrated reflect the diverse demographic of the U.S.
Take Action:
- Diversify your music & lift up BIPOC artists. Here are Spotify playlists of queer country artists, women of country, and Black country artists.
- Support BIPOC-led diversity initiatives such as The Black Independent Music Accelerator and Color of Music Collective.

On November 14, 1960, a crowd of angry citizens gathered to protest the racial integration of William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. They specifically came to protest against one Black student, Ruby Bridges, who was joining for her first day. Flanked by four federal marshals, she bravely walked into the classroom as onlookers shouted slurs and threats. Photos of the event, along with a Norman Rockwell painting inspired by the day, spread, making Ruby Bridges a national icon for the civil rights movement. In today's episode, learn about her story and how you can honor her legacy.

Happy Thursday and welcome back! Tuesday was Election Day, a day overshadowed by the ongoing conflict and the censure of Palestinian American Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who was unjustly silenced after expressing her criticism of the Israeli government and the U.S. decision to aid in the attack on Gaza. With former President Trump leading in the polls, I thought this would be a good time to reiterate the role of civic participation. Although voting is a powerful way to shift sentiment, it’s not enough. Today, review why going beyond the ballot is critical for our collective wellbeing.
Take Action
- Review the information to register to vote and make sure, if available, you’re ready for upcoming elections.
- Spend more time in conversation with your local and national representatives. Save their contact information for moments of crisis (like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) and send your opinions on recent decisions they’ve made (like the decision to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
- Support organizations and initiatives working to protect and eliminate voting barriers.
- Consider: who are the people in your city, state or country that reflect your political views that aren’t candidates? You can think of community organizers, advocates, educators, or entertainers. How can you support them each election season?

In the U.S., our understanding of violence is limited. It makes it easy to cast blame on individuals, but harder to hold systems and structures accountable. How can violent offenders be treated violently by our criminal legal system? How were decades of public lynchings once leisurely weekend activities?

Take Action
- Oppose the violence committed against Palestinian civilians by calling and emailing Congress, attending a local protest, and donating to the Palestine Red Crescent Society.
- Share content from on the ground in the Gaza Strip.
- Consider: is there an argument against the U.S. being the most violent contemporary nation that doesn’t depend on valuing the lives of non-Americans less highly or justifying their deaths?

Today is the 55th anniversary of one of the most iconic images of the Black freedom struggle: two Black athletes, heads bowed, raising clenched fists atop the victors’ podium at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Now celebrated as a historic act, Tommie Smith and John Carlos’ Olympics Black Power salute was widely condemned in its day. The 1968 Olympics Black Power salute raised questions we’re still grappling with today about racial justice, “politicized” sports, and the meaning of real solidarity.

Good morning and happy Friday. Today’s study hall directly addresses the unfolding Israel-Palestinian crisis. We’re happy to have Mordecai joining us to address the situation.
Note: It is extremely important to be diligent of the information coming out during this time. Unverified or misrepresented reports, posts, and propaganda are quickly being circulated on social media and news sites, which can obscure our understanding of what’s going on and spread harmful rhetoric. Please revisit past newsletters on media bias, deepfakes, and fact-checking on how we all can practice critical news literacy.

The stigma surrounding MSG is part of the broader anti-Asian sentiment that's been carefully cultivated in the U.S. In order for us to dismantle it, we have to take it apart and analyze all the cogs and wheels that have kept it running. That's why I appreciate today's analysis from Andrew.
Take Action

Happy Wednesday and welcome back. My heart is heavy with the sheer terror being inflicted on Israeli and Palestinian communities right now. The escalated conflict between Israel and Hamas reflects decades of colonization. A true and just end to this violence won’t be found through promoting continued state-funded oppression, but through the liberation of all those most oppressed in the region. We can – and we must – do this without stoking the Islamophobic and antisemitic sentiment prompted not by foreign events but by rising white extremism right here in the U.S. Today’s newsletter breaks down this conflict and how to support justice and peace.
TAKE ACTION
- Support the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Palestinian Feminist Collective, and Students for Justice in Palestine.
- Support Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now.
- Support B’Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories.
- Read and share this guide by Solutions Not Sides on how to denounce antisemitism and Islamophobia when discussing the Israel-Palestine conflict.

It's World Mental Health Day, with this year's theme being "Mental health is a universal human right.” Everyone has not only the right to access quality mental health care but also social support, autonomy, community, and more. Yet, due to the lack of resources and the stigma around mental health issues, this right continues to be infringed on.
Today's newsletter focuses on how the violation of this right and our over-reliance on policing contributes to a carceral system for mental health where, instead of support, mental illness is penalized.
Take Action
- Support organizations like Fireweed Collective, Black Girls Smile, Asian Mental Health Collective, Immigrants Rising, and We R Native, providing mental health services and education.
- Use peer support and crisis hotlines that are divested from the police, including Trans Lifeline, BlackLine, DeQH, and the LGBT National Help Center.

Efforts have been growing to center Indigenous communities on what's historically known as Columbus Day. But does it extend to how we truly center and honor Indigenous communities in the U.S.?

Thanks to your requests, we started a new learning series on power and privilege and how it impacts the workplace. But as I started working on the training curriculum, I realized that we never covered the subject in our newsletter! So here’s a brief overview of what power and privilege means, and its role in systemic oppression. Hopefully this helps you understand how privilege shows up in your life—and what you can do to address it.
TAKE ACTION
- Use this video to unpack power and privilege in your own life. This is a two-minute exercise.
- Reflect: What privileges, if any, do you benefit from based on your identity? What type of power does that bring to spaces where you spend time?

Latinx and Latine are gender-neutral terms for people or things of Latin American descent. But some people and institutions have inserted “Latinx” into press releases and rulebooks without any real commitment to supporting trans and gender non-conforming people of Latin American heritage. And others have joined a wave of conservative pushback against the term, like when the New York Times editorial board published a high school student’s anti-Latinx op-ed.
Today, Alicia reminds us that though there’s transphobic resistance to gender-inclusive language in Spanish just like there is in English, respecting trans and non-binary Spanish speakers linguistically is a necessary first step towards creating liberation.
TAKE ACTION
- Support Trans Asylum Seeker Support Network, Familia TQLM, and the Trans Justice Funding Project.
- Make it a practice to introduce yourself with your name and pronouns and include your pronouns in your email signature, social media bios, etc.
