Held under the auspices of a @MellonFdn Higher Learning grant & inspired by Robin D.G. Kelley, our Freedom School started with the premise and promise of the 3rd Reconstruction with @sa_lidarity focusing us on Black queer land movements that reclaim & make Black place.

Políticos que usan la violencia verbal, con actitudes racistas y discriminatorias. La reivindicación de indígenas víctimas de la violencia es un tema comunitario y nacional. Los bienes públicos no son para negocio de algunos políticos disfrazados de comunitario
