At some point, we must interpret antiracist awareness in the absence of serious, institutional antiracist action as purposeful complicity w/ racism. In my experience, this is where 80% of organizations that claim to be committed to racial justice are stuck. That's no accident.

This right here is the power of #organizing! 🎉 CEO’s resignation is critical first step on the path to #SavePublicAllies. I’m in awe of the incredible @PAAlums community who’ve been working tirelessly to make this happen. Tonight we celebrate/rest. Tomorrow, we get back to work
The @publicallies CEO Jaime Uzeta resigned today 20 days after closing 12 sites and firing 32 staff. #savepublicallies

Almost 3 weeks since the #PApurge, w/ no meaningful action..It seems the @PublicAllies board/leadership may need some tips on what real #Accountability looks like in action. PA taught me well, so I’m sharing a couple resources here: #savePublicAllies bcrw.barnard.edu/videos/what…
