A photo from Arlington Street Church in Boston of Aurora Levins Morales (who shared this in her patreon noting it was sent to her from Judit Moschkovich who is not pictured), Barbara Smith, Kate Rushin (who is holding a flower arrangement), Beverly Smith, Nellie Wong, Cher'rie Moraga, Gloria Anzaldúa, Barbara Cameron, Rosario Morales, and hattie gossett. They are mostly smiling and huddled tightly, dressed sharply, changing feminism.

Good morning, here’s a photo from June 1981 of some of the original contributors to This Bridge Called My Back

Kenyan security forces gather near a burning billboard in downtown Nairobi on June 25, 2025 during a planned day of protest marking the first anniversary of the storming of the parliament

#UPDATE Two protesters died from gunshot wounds and at least eight were injured in a town outside Nairobi on Wednesday as demonstrators marked one year since mass anti-government protests in Kenya, a hospital official told AFP ➡️ u.afp.com/Sxmo

❤️‍🔥 same (had to leave work and take a walk for the sake of me) - and also I miss you!

who said this? (they are so right)

"Any human-made system can be resisted and changed by humans"

Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of anti-finance bill protests and the police killings of protesters in #Kenya. These are the names of those who were killed - all killed by the police. Yet senior government officials have spent the whole day warning protesters to “maintain peace”.

“Our struggle hasn’t ended, and the lines have now clearly been drawn: on one side, there is the political elite who would rather have the country burn just to feel warm but, on the other side, there is us who hope for a better future for ourselves” - Dennis Mugaa

fighting for my life (capitalism) trying to keep it together during this meeting - all I want to do is scroll and weep!

“may we resist despair!”

you can't kill us and lead us - 🇰🇪

Political cartoon commemorating the June 25, 2024 Gen Z protests in Nairobi, Kenya. In the center, a young Kenyan activist in emerald green shirt and navy blue pants stands with arms outstretched in a commanding gesture, addressing a large crowd of fellow Generation Z demonstrators who had gathered to voice their grievances against punitive taxation. The crowd consists of dozens of young Kenyans in various colored clothing including red hoodies, purple shirts, and dark clothing, assembled in what appears to be a public plaza in Nairobi with yellow and white government buildings. The urban setting features Nairobi's distinctive architecture: yellow high-rise buildings on the left, blue glass skyscrapers on the right, and orange/yellow mid-rise buildings in the background. A traffic light is visible in the foreground showing red, yellow, and green lights - the colors of Kenya's flag. Red and green lightning bolt graphics cut diagonally across the composition, symbolically foreshadowing the violence that would soon erupt when police opened fire on these peaceful protesters attempting to march to Parliament. Palm trees and blue sky complete the East African urban setting. The scene captures a pivotal moment of youth leadership and civic engagement before this demonstration turned tragic, resulting in over 60 deaths including 12-year-old Kennedy Onyango and many other young Kenyans whose names are now remembered as martyrs of the movement.

"You can't be about the work of wellbeing unless you're about the work of building the world in which that wellbeing is possible."
