This is a map of the ENTIRE Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor. I show this one because it contains North Carolina and Florida—both are often overlooked when folk talk about Gullah Geechees to the media. Tomorrow’s post is 5 things you need to know about the GGCHC in FL.

The co-opting of the language of the Civil Rights Movement and of Black struggle for democracy continues. Freedom Summer occurred 60 years ago this year when civil rights activists and college students spread across Mississippi to try to register Black voters and democratize

Yall keep asking men who beat women about men who beat women, and I'd really like to understand what position yall expect them to take.

On Wednesday, I am chairing a Housing Committee hearing on making our Eviction Diversion Program permanent!

I'm looking forward to discussing how the EDP, especially when it is coupled with rental assistance, keeps vulnerable Philadelphians in their homes.

I did fight back and almost got arrested. Lots of victims that fight back end up punished by the state. Jails are full of women who saved themselves from abuse.

No one is more loyal than an abuser's network

trauma can literally make u crazy.
