Today, members of our DC pod showed up to the World Cup Draw to make it clear that:

⚽ We have to kick MAGA bullies out of the beautiful game
⚽ We have to ensure the World Cup is an equal platform for all races, backgrounds, and genders.

Let's get free from this regime’s white supremacist agenda!

The good news: we’ve already planted the seeds for repair.

This past year we:
✅ began our fellowship program
✅ launched new chapters in DC Philly, Chicago, Baltimore, and the Bay Area

We’re going to need to hire more staff and fellows to guarantee that we can make our vision for 2026 a reality without burning out because the work of a movement is not temporary, it’s generational.

May Viola Ford “Mother” Fletcher's memory be a blessing and may we take on the baton to make reparations commonsense and commonplace across the country.

Today, we recommit ourselves to finishing the work of ancestors like “Mother” Fletcher and winning a future of repair.

What we fail to repair, we repeat.

The MAGA regime is making their white supremacist agenda loud and clear.

It’s on us to refuse to comply and instead fight for repair and true equality.

For the past 50 years, the United American Indians of New England has been organizing a national day of mourning demonstrations to:

✅Teach the history of the Wampanoag people
✅Tell the full Thanksgiving story
✅Create Awareness of historical and ongoing struggles of Native American tribes

The Wampanoag and neighboring Native nations in present-day New England practiced rituals of giving thanks long before they had first contact with European settlers.

One of these rituals was Cranberry Day, an annual Wampanoag holiday to celebrate the cranberry harvest.

Earlier this year, the MAGA regime removed a report on missing and murdered Native American women from the Department of Justice (DOJ)'s website.

This is just the latest example of a centuries-old effort by the wealthy, white few to whitewash our country’s history. www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-...
Trump admin removes report on missing Native Americans
The report, uncovering the violence faced by Indigenous peoples, was made due to an act passed by the first Trump administration.

The reckoning cannot stop at just the last few months and years. It must take account for the last few centuries and get at the foundation of American fascism. That means righting the ongoing wrongs stemming from enslavement, genocide & Jim Crow, so we can finally repair and stop repeating history.

We need to start a tracking list now of all of the actors complicit in the MAGA regime's crimes against people at home & abroad so they can be brought to justice in tribunals after its fall.

I'm talking all officials, corporations, propagandists etc who enforced white supremacist authoritarianism.
