Yesterday was a lot. Wasn’t prepared for the ski masks, unmarked white vans, and disappearing people in my community. I showed up when I got the text anyway.
Community defense matters. Find your local network and know your rights. Volunteer to protect the rights of others. We keep us safe!
Yellow armband with black lettering and a family of four black silhouette laying on a rainbow-colored welcome mat. Under the armband is a small notepad, a yellow notecard that matches the armband, and a cell phone turned upside down with a sticker on the back. The sticker is of a tree with a fox hugging it from behind. The text in the tree says “Could use a hug”. The black lettering on the armband and the note card reads “Protect our community. Report ICE activity! Call 408-290-1145.”

How do we care for our communities to get through? I love this picture book for children (and adults) to help us understand transformative justice.

“In a healthy community, we are responsible for one another—which means if someone in our community has a problem, everyone can help find a solution.”

I’m slowly moving over to this new platform…The first is from last year when I drove to Pleasanton for a fundraiser. The second is from a book I just started reading by Prentis Hemphill titled “What it Takes to Heal”. The last is getting me through hard days of 2025 so far. Thank you Tricia Hersey!
Holding hands with henna on top of a black and white keffiyeh. Photograph of a text from the book What It Takes to Heal by Prentis Hemphill. The text is circled in red and says “Over time, I have come to understand that social transformation (the push for more just systems and policies) and personal transformation (healing our own trauma and reshaping our relationships) have to happen together. Not one or the other but both. We neglect ourselves or our growth in our rush to change what is external. When we do, we fracture, and succumb to what we are unwilling to face.” A color photo of the Nap Ministry’s Rest Deck: 50 practices to resist grind culture. By Tricia Hersey
