We can’t build community with Black men without you first acknowledging oppression and then dismantling it.

Hey!!
Is anyone on here a Black birth worker or know one?
For my research, I am seeking to interview as many Black midwives (and other Blk birth workers, but midwifery is the central focus) as possible and get connected to birthing centers employing Black birth workers, esp. in the US South.
If you are/someone you know is interested, pls DM me! Thanks for reading!
*pls boost!!*

On this day in 1955, the civil rights activist Rosa Parks rejected a bus driver's order to vacate a seat for a white female passenger after the "white" section of the bus was filled.
Parks helped inspire the Black community to boycott the city buses, resulting in a landmark Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public transportation was unconstitutional, a *whole year later*.

I've seen the past exonerative tense before, but the present continuous exonerative tense is special!
"Black women's unemployment is rising."🤡
All by itself? Magically?
The entire US, Dem and GOP, is going on close to 24 months straight of being publicly and loudly anti-civil rights (anti-DEI).
"Black women are more likely to work in the departments targeted by DOGE."
is like saying,
"Harbor seals are more likely to be found swimming in the water that happens to be rushing into a great white shark's rapidly opening mouth."🤡
Dudes have been open and vocal about their desire to drive Black women out of leadership positions in the federal government, higher education, and private industry. That's their goal.
And yet, we still talk about these outcomes as if they're just an unfortunate side effect of generalized downturns.
