New York’s Crisis Management System, which began in 2012, is the city’s effort to institutionalize violence intervention as a mainstay of the public safety ecosystem. A recent study found promising results in areas with CMS-funded programs, and identified the hurdles interrupters routinely face.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

It was my privilege to attend Fanshen Cox's keynote address at the 2024 UW- Madison Diversity Forum. Her work to make Hollywood a more inclusive industry is inspiring, and her experience and advice will, I think, greatly aid UW's efforts to build a more diverse and inclusive community.

Booked a speaking gig pre-election and shared a preview of the content. All good. Post election was asked not to mention whiteness, privilege or social justice - and ‘instead’ to keep it uplifting. Since speaking truth IS uplifting, turned it down immediately. Here. We. Go.
