The group mod thanked me for pointing it out & sd the poster was the product of a coalition including Tacoma DSA, Tacoma Partisans, FRSO, Pierce County Immigration Alliance, Climate Alliance of South Sound, JVP Veterans for Peace, & others

The mod agreed that this kind of omission is EXACTLY how we got where we are - antiblack is the bedrock on which USian is built. She also agreed that Black Women have been the vanguard in the struggle for in the US

She expressed shame & sorrow. She let me know she has screenshotted the conversation and sent to organizers. I'll let y'all know what comes back

Ytpipo gotta keep shining light on each other's blindspots. is sine qua non of

@PeachMcD @tacoma I went to the event (some) of these same groups organized on inaguration day. Left when they asked for donations via cash app. I was ready to hand over real cash but I dont have a smartphone and if I did I'm not fool enough to bring one to a protest. I read them as well meaning but disorganized and not all pulling in the same direction. This makes it easy to have blind spots like the one you thankfully pointed out.

These are youngers who learned from everyone around them & we all have our own work to do & God's not done with any of us yet
