Important and urgent essay today from Timothy Snyder, historian and kid from Ohio.
For many in the Trump regime it seems incomprehensible or a scam of sorts that those not categorically under attack by ICE are so committed to solidarity with their neighbors who are, and thereby to universal human rights, to standing up on principle, and will risk their lives to do so.....
Beautiful, thank you.
Also inspired by Rev. Bernice A. King's message yesterday to Minneapolis: "You are doing holy work." www.instagram.com/reel/DT4kv9q...

#diversity #portland #artsandculture #equity #DEI
Here in Portland the newly established Office of Arts and Culture has eliminated DEI impact considerations for funding levels, now distributing funds solely based on an organization’s budget size. This is will immediately have a disproportionate impact smaller organizations.
Diversity makes us stronger. There are some who historically have had privilege that see diversity as a threat. This attack from the national stage is impacting many and being felt at a local level. Corporations that remove their diversity programs are being boycotted (👋 Target).
