Thanks to UMass Boston for inviting this former Beacon back to speak at BLM Day! Embrace's Imari Paris Jeffries left everyone with some wise words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and said it's time for Boston to show everyone what democracy is all about.

Colleges and universities don't indoctrinate people. They challenge you to think differently about the world and about people not like us. That's why we have to protect them.

A Supreme Court ruling against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would be bigger than just election maps and gerrymandering. It would be further proof that America refuses to learn from its history--and a reminder that white supremacy and democracy can't co-exist.

Heather McGhee warned us about "zero-sum" politics in "The Sum of Us." And we're seeing it play it now: when we start trying to win at other peoples' expense, everyday people lose, no matter what side of the aisle they're on. So let's flip the script.

The Trump administration says removing references to slavery from our national parks celebrates "progress" rather than negativity.

“We have chosen temporarily to allow civility to be moved aside, but out of that chaos must come community.” — Martin Luther King III.

On April 26, 2025, people stood on Boston Common, the very ground where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke 60 years earlier during the 1965 Freedom Rally.

Today’s political moment feels like a daily battle for our collective soul. A fraying democracy. So many fires, it’s hard to know where to begin. That’s why we’re launching The Fine Print—Embrace’s newest way of reimagining democracy and holding it accountable.🧵
