Anti-Racist Activism

Hey, there's been so much conversation on police brutality and it got me wondering what kind of work people on this board might be doing in their communities to change shit and make it better. Not just around police brutality but around any number of issues that affect black people and other people of color.

I used to be in the Portland chapter of Anarchist People of Color back in 2004. We did Know Your Rights trainings for black people in our neighborhoods so that if they did get pulled over or detained, they would be educated on what kind of things were in their power to say or do. I worked at Sisters in Action for Power in Portland for a couple of years, too. That organization trained young girls of color in NE Portland to become grassroots organizers and work for change in their communities. Right now, besides making what I consider radical black art, I'm working to become a publich school teacher. I'm trying to put myself in the position where I can help reshape public education in a way that empowers black kids and other children of color as well as girls, disabled and poor kids.

Let us know what you're doing to change the system and fuck shit up!
