We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

The point is cruelty & discrimination. Shame and denial kept these atrocities out of our history books: •Trail of Tears •Japanese American concentration camps •Tulsa Massacre •MOVE bombing •Forced sterilization of Native women Books that confront systems, not just symptoms: tr.ee/1dfJYY

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side
