We Stood Up: Organizing at a Feminist Nonprofit - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
When it comes to the workplace, many nonprofits fall far short of their political ideals. At my feminist nonprofit, we stood up to demand change.
nonprofitquarterly.org
For @npquarterly.bsky.social, I wrote about the challenges of organizing at a feminist nonprofit that, in practice, avoids our political realities.

And Charles was enslaved on the German Coast, in LOUISIANA near New Orleans, where the largest uprising of enslaved people took place in 1811.

Omg. The pain that Charles experienced with no medication while also being enslaved and expected to work with starvation level nutritiob must have been unbearable.
The fact that they included it in the ad, and that they still saw him as "property" that they wanted returned is diabolical.

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding.
So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

During Twitter's most recent conversation about eugenics (specifically about sickle cell), I came across this blog featuring one of the few early 19th century descriptions of sickle cell (in English). It's a runaway slave ad. #BlackDisabilityPolitics sicklesense.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/a...

Harriet Tubman was [made] disabled—
meaning an enslaver hit her on the head with a pipe when she was a teenager so she suffered migraines, fainting, and visions (or 'hallucinations') for the rest of her life.
Which makes what she did that much more remarkable.

Harriet Tubman’s Disability and Why it Matters
In Harriet Tubman's version of freedom, Black women were liberators and a disabled Black woman sat at the center of democracy.

Author's note for poem ☝🏾
It is written about Harriet Jacobs's 1861 "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl", where she writes of her confinement:
"I lived in that little dismal hole… for nearly 7 years. My body still suffers from the effects of that long imprisonment, to say nothing of my soul."

The local news + the perspectives of immigrant and indigenous communities there and it's like. I still remember the riots in Sweden during the early 2010s.
The myths around the Nordic states fascinate me. Because it is always "Oh this Nordic country is a wonderland of social safety nets and why can't we be like them?" And then you read local news and none of that shit is actually true. So where does the propaganda start and why is it so pervasive?

Tell HHS to recognize people with #MECFS and #LongCOVID as “medically frail” so our access to Medicaid is protected.

What is it exactly that makes people accept anything positive stated about western and northern Europe as fact without verifying or digging into the how? 🤔
Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.
