With that said we honor those who have advocated such as Hazel M. Johnson, an environmental activist from the Chicago’s Southside, who spoke out against the dangers of having industrial waste and facilities near Black American residential neighborhoods. 🤲🏾🌍

We loved the earth day posts this week! Did you know this day was created back in 1970 to bring forth environmental issues on the national agenda? It was used to bring awareness on industrial pollution and pushing ecological protection of this land we call home. 🌍

Nation-building requires more than declarations. It requires shared knowledge, documented history, institutional memory, and people prepared to steward them.

…But refusing to rush back to the frontlines is not apathy it’s discernment. Solidarity isn’t asking us to carry it again. It’s asking what protection, accountability, and shared risk actually look like before calling our names.

…We’ve been infiltrated, dismantled, surveilled, and sacrificed often while others observed safely from the sidelines. Some of us are resting. Some of us are watching. Some of us don’t have the luxury to fully sit anything out…

Seeing people (mostly White Americans) telling Black Americans “this is your fight too.” is disheartening and feels like rage-bait. Let’s be honest about what that sounds like to a tired people. We’ve fought. We’ve organized…

This moment isn’t about discovery. It’s about proximity. And that distinction matters.

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

When people say “I didn’t want to believe the government could do this,” what they’re really naming is the luxury of disbelief. Many of us never had that option. We were born knowing through history, through family, through lived experience.

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Watching people “wake up” to state violence right now is… sobering. For Black Americans, this isn’t new. The system didn’t suddenly change; it stayed consistent. Slavery was reformed into Black Codes, Jim Crow, surveillance, mass incarceration, and modern policing.

We may be able to hold discussions on #Panthr for all who is interested. The best way to creating a stable foundation is minimizing infiltration. ✊🏾

We need to galvanize our Black/Afro American communities across the U.S. in order to see us successfully form the inevitable nation for us. #ANationForUs #blackamerican #blackamericanstatehood

Join our online community meeting to discuss how we can create new power around our well-being. Together, we'll explore actionable steps that will help shape the Black American nation we deserve. Stay tuned for more details on how to be part of this powerful movement. #ANationForUs #BlackUnity

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was about more than just a protest—it was the power of our collective decisions. Every small action we take like supporting Black businesses to advocating for justice, moves us closer to creating a Black American nation that serves us. Our dreams are built on these steps.

Let's follow the blueprint Fred laid out-unity, collective power, and the will to shape our future, together. #ANationForUs #BlackAmericanUnity #blacksky

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

This is the kind of action we need now. Building a strong, self-sustaining network for Black Americans starts with us, uniting for our shared future. We don't need handouts, we need control over our own systems-healthcare, education, safety. We need policies that prioritize us, by us. #ANationForUs

Fred Hampton showed us the power of community and unity, even across different backgrounds. His Rainbow Coalition wasn't just a movement; it was a call to come together for the common good. #ANationForUs #BlackAmericanUnity #blacksky

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Within our Black American nation, we'd approach this differently. Healthcare access should never feel out of reach. Together we can build a system that serves our people. What would a system that actually works for us look like to you? #ANationForUs #BlackAmericanUnity #BlackAmericanHealthcare

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

The U.S. has systems in place that let states block people—many on fixed or low incomes—from getting Medicare. Then, they're told they make "too much" and must pay huge monthly sums.

• Ban polluting industries near homes. • Build with sustainable, green energy. • Establish local councils to monitor environmental quality. Protecting our health is the foundation of true freedom.🤲🏾✨ #ANationForUs #BlackAmericanUnity #blacksky

Environmental harm in Black American communities is no accident. Decades of redlining have left us exposed to toxic chemicals. It's time to fight back: • Push for environmental audits. • Advocate for cleanup policies. • Demand access to free cancer screenings. Our health is non-negotiable.

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

[We] Black Americans are a distinct people with a rich culture shaped by resilience and innovation. From AAVE, fashion, and activism to our political impact, we deserve recognition-not ridicule-for what we've built after being stripped of ties to Africa. Like Jamaicans or Brazilians, we are US. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽✨

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

In plain terms, we don't need more fear in our collective. What we need is bold unity and the honor to uphold it. Together, we have the power to make this vision a reality. ♥️✊🏾🤲🏿✍🏾 #ANationForUs #BlackAmerican #BlackAmericanUnity

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Belief is just the start. Action-like building our own law enforcement and policymakers-makes it real. For this, we must collectively agree to unite and establish these systems. Change comes when belief and action work together. #ANationForUs #BlackAmericanUnity

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

For our policies to truly have power, we must collectively believe in them as if they're already in effect. Change doesn't happen without the belief that it's possible. The power to create change begins with how we see and act on what we believe. #ANationForUs #BlackAmericanUnity

While film/TV casting choices may try to divide us, our focus should stay on unity-showing up for collective goals, supporting each other's initiatives, and building systems based on our shared values.

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

High-profile events often spark opinions or jokes based on headlines. But what if we paused? Let's ask: Who benefits? What's missing? Critical thinking seeks understanding, not noise. Together, we can have meaningful discussions that build and not divide.

In light of Jordan Neely's tragedy, his father's question, 'What are we going to do?' is clear. If the U.S. won't protect us, we must. It's time to build our own nation, with laws and protectors to ensure our safety. We have the power to create a future where our lives are protected. #ANationForUs

Black American Societies @basocieties.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Healthcare shouldn't depend on your ability to pay a middleman just to get the care you need. It's time for a system where proper care is a right, not a privilege. Together, we can create solutions that prioritize people over profit. #ANationForUs

Rolling up into a complex for an inquiry or “simple apprehension” with 5 squad vehicles and 8 law enforcers smiling as they trot back to their vehicles. This would never happen in our own nation. #ANationForUs

What if we could plan and execute free health clinics, childcare, career centers for our nation? A resource hub just for us. #ANationForUs #BlackAmerica

This is exactly why our platform exists—to address these truths and move forward together. It's time for Black Americans to reunify, organize, and take action as a nation. Let's begin thinking on these terms and build something lasting for us, by us. 🙌🏾 #ANationForUs

We don't need another monument— we need deeds to our own land. We don't need another holiday-we need spaces where we can truly restore. It's time to shift from recognition to reclamation. #blacksky #ANewNationForUs
