Good morning, here’s a photo from June 1981 of some of the original contributors to This Bridge Called My Back

A photo from Arlington Street Church in Boston of Aurora Levins Morales (who shared this in her patreon noting it was sent to her from Judit Moschkovich who is not pictured), Barbara Smith, Kate Rushin (who is holding a flower arrangement), Beverly Smith, Nellie Wong, Cher'rie Moraga, Gloria Anzaldúa, Barbara Cameron, Rosario Morales, and hattie gossett. They are mostly smiling and huddled tightly, dressed sharply, changing feminism.

Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of anti-finance bill protests and the police killings of protesters in #Kenya. These are the names of those who were killed - all killed by the police. Yet senior government officials have spent the whole day warning protesters to “maintain peace”.

"You can't be about the work of wellbeing unless you're about the work of building the world in which that wellbeing is possible." - Tasha Golden June 25th 🇰🇪 💔 #June25 #NowIsTheTime #Standup #SilenceKills #KENYAIsOurHome #Kenya

Political cartoon commemorating the June 25, 2024 Gen Z protests in Nairobi, Kenya. In the center, a young Kenyan activist in emerald green shirt and navy blue pants stands with arms outstretched in a commanding gesture, addressing a large crowd of fellow Generation Z demonstrators who had gathered to voice their grievances against punitive taxation. The crowd consists of dozens of young Kenyans in various colored clothing including red hoodies, purple shirts, and dark clothing, assembled in what appears to be a public plaza in Nairobi with yellow and white government buildings. The urban setting features Nairobi's distinctive architecture: yellow high-rise buildings on the left, blue glass skyscrapers on the right, and orange/yellow mid-rise buildings in the background. A traffic light is visible in the foreground showing red, yellow, and green lights - the colors of Kenya's flag. Red and green lightning bolt graphics cut diagonally across the composition, symbolically foreshadowing the violence that would soon erupt when police opened fire on these peaceful protesters attempting to march to Parliament. Palm trees and blue sky complete the East African urban setting. The scene captures a pivotal moment of youth leadership and civic engagement before this demonstration turned tragic, resulting in over 60 deaths including 12-year-old Kennedy Onyango and many other young Kenyans whose names are now remembered as martyrs of the movement.

We have to stop thinking that what affects children won’t affect us. It always has and it always will. We could change the whole world—no hyperbole—by truly putting the welfare of children first, with all the considerations of their full human rights.

also, it’s just a shitty piece altogether. it’s poorly constructed, devoid of the human touch. AI “art” isn’t worth the strain on the power grid, nor is it worth the usage of water.
