To conjure, hum, whisper, yell, and chant. To be in the light, to feel its warmth and celebration. Cycle One & Cycle Two took place on Friday, June 18, 2021 in Malcolm X Park. As part of the #Jawnteenth event hosted by @BLMPhilly. #BlackReverenceChair 📸 Mo Perry 🌹
Black Reverence Chair Reflection ~ Sylvia O.L. would press her learnéd hands upon the piano keys “again,” and then I’d take in a deep breath and belt “there’s no hidin’ place.” There is no hidin’ placed down there. It is true, shadow gon’ follow you wherever you go.
Solidarity. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality #BlackLivesMatter
JAWNTEENTH IS BACK! see you at Malcolm X Park this Saturday at 2 pm
Have you signed and shared the petition for #Justice4AlaunteScott yet? #AlaunteScott was killed by @USMarshalsHQ 2/28/34 and police are hoping the demands in this case will fizzle out so they are silent. Help us amplify in solidarity w/ Alaunte’s family! bit.ly/justice_4_alau…

Whenever I hear someone call a poor person lazy or unambitious, I know they have never been poor. Y'all have no idea how much work and intellectual labor it takes to be poor and struggling.

Philly family! We are conducting a research study to understand how Black youth navigate and challenge racism. If you know a young person between the ages of 13-17, please forward them this information! Interested youth, complete this survey: bit.ly/2TGXk07
Dear life, I need more time to READ. -signed just about everyone
@BLMPhilly held “Jawnteenth” last week. That’s another event where I instantly said “YES” when I seen it. We need lots of things; money, food, housing, and much more. But sometimes, we just want and need to feel good. And work like that could help people. I know it has for me.
RIP Consuewella Africa. We will get justice for you & your daughters Tree & Netta, who the City of Philadelphia murdered on May 13 1985 when officials dropped a bomb on their home & allowed the fire to burn. @UofPenn @Princeton will be held accountable for stealing their remains.
This Friday, June 18th Jawnteenth is back at Malcolm X Park from 4 to 8 pm!! Join us with special guests @Kindredthefam in this celebration of Black joy! We'll have activities, several performances, giveaways, and more. #Blacklove
*TABLING ALERT* Catch #FreeAnt out at Jawnteenth with @BLMPhilly this coming Friday! We'll have shirts, buttons, pins, and stickers. Happy to be part of this community event for such an important holiday.

It is not radical or unheard of to remove police from traffic stops. In November 2021, @JimFKenney signed the Driving Equality Act which bans Philadelphia police officers from pulling drivers over for minor traffic infractions.

Some marvel at your readiness when the door opened They don’t know all the closed doors you’ve spent years knocking on. Yes, you’re ready.

There’s nothing “safe” about creating space for 1) challenging American imperialism; AND 2) keeping track of the legitimate concerns and critiques of Cubans on the ground.
@marclamonthill "nuance" so you can safely play the "both sidesism" role CUBA IS SUBJECTED TO A WAR OF ANNIHILATION by the most powerful empire in the world and you have the luxury to spend time on nuance. like its just a free exchange of ideas
Y'all ever just think abt how fucking brave and ahead of her time Ida B Wells was?? She KNEW lynching. She said she was prepared to die for her work knowing she was going up against the kind of white folks who cut babies out of their mother's wombs FOR FUN. SHE WAS A MOTHER.
minding my business tryna take a video in the bathroom and would you look at that.. Black Women are not being dramatic when we tell you it happens more often than you think. you don’t care and you don’t listen. if it wasn’t on camera you’d think i was trippin per usual.
Happy Birthday to the fearless heavy hitters Ida B. Wells and Assata Shakur.
I crunched some numbers to look at the trends around Black women with tenure. It's as bad if not worse than you probably think. insidehighered.com/advice/2021/07…
As Black folks on the left we can support Revolution and also be critical of it - especially on its attention to dismantle white supremacy. Any political system can be anti-Black and in the West, they all have been.
Further, the members of the Black Liberation Movement that are exiled there or were at one point 1) have talked about this anti-Blackness and 2) were denied a space to organize or affirm Blackness in Cuba. I am so surprised to see such an essential mov’t for us
The US Embargo is indeed inhumane and must be lifted. But the Cuban government has ignored systemic racism and engaged in anti-Black practices for decades.
One thing Philly will do is involve you in their phone convos on SEPTA. I’m here like “word, he said what to whom?!”👀
Today, I’m saying goodbye to the place I called “home” for the past three years. So many ups and downs, but I’m ready to see what else life has in store for me.
I feel compelled to add that this tweet should not be fodder for folks on the right - I ain’t on your team and I’m still #BLM all day. US imperialism is far reaching with its damage and isn’t ignored here. I just needed to speak about this statement and what it got wrong.
Do we think there is a link between structural violence, material conditions and stifling global insecurity caused by COVID-19, the warming of the globe and abject leadership failure that had caused the violent spike? YES! Then our shared response can not be just shock. smh.
