We learned again that the draconian #DC youth #curfew recently enacted is yet another pretext to target, harass, and even physically #harm Black #youth. Our hearts are aligned with these two Black girls who endured physical abuse from these cackling #police this weekend.
Remember #TonyaNero, the Black #runner who came from behind to win a race when the other runners celebrated too early? Well, it happened again yesterday: #JoshuaJackson powered through to win the #Delaware Running Festival Marathon against #CarsonMello, a great runner. End strong this week!
Our hearts cry out at the news that 8 children aged 1 to 14 were killed and 2 adults wounded by an adult male relative in #Shreveport, #Louisiana yesterday in an act of #DomesticViolence. We must do every we can to curb domestic and #IntimatePartner violence. More at www.cbsnews.com/news/louisia...
#Healing #circles are central to our #ViolencePrevention work. Every week (and often twice-a-week for our littlest children), we circle up, face each other, and #mediate #conflicts without aggression or #violence. Learn more at wisdomprojects.org/mediation and wisdomprojects.org/restorative-...
Our government is credibly overrun by child predators, corrupt psychopaths, warmongers, and bigots. In this incredibly dangerous environment, protecting Americans' #privacy #rights should be paramount. But, Congress just approved #warrantless #spying before the law expires.
Our Demands to Build the Society We Deserve: - Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government. - Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people. - Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all. - Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, women and all our communities. - Invest in people not wars.
May Day Strong's demands.
This week, #Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed a law that ends tax breaks for Confederate groups. This is an important step in ending the glorification of #WhiteSupremacy cloaked in the guise of “honoring” history. We must move forward to a better, #equitable future for all our citizens.
Let us end the week in healing meditation for the 10 #children or #adolescents that are sexually #assaulted every second worldwide. We must speak out against this epidemic of often organized #child endangerment and do everything we can to stop it.
Horrible, unjust wars and genocides. Mass killing of children. Epidemics of child rape. Terrible expensive healthcare. AI data center scams. Corruption. Yet, in just the 16 months since his reelection, US billionaires' wealth has grown by $1.96 trillion. Are you #woke yet?
Find #safe spaces. The world is often harmful, corrupt, too loud, too heavy, too overwhelming. Do everything in your power to surround yourself with #love and #trust that wards off evil and pain.
In the month of February 2026, 62 million men worldwide (with most being in the #US) participated in an online #rape academy where they trade methods for sexually assaulting women and children. Many have acted on the #violence. We live in a world controlled by #predators.
The #Maryland State Legislature just passed an #Utility and #Energy #Relief Act lowering high #gas and #electric bills and making life more #affordable. Energy corporations threaten "consequences." Conservative lawmakers decry the lack of AI data center support in the bill.
Let's start the week with #ShaCarriRichardson's amazing win in the #Australian Stawell Gift Race where the fastest #runners must start far behind with no advantages. Despite this she won, demonstrating the predicament of so many Black people who must win despite disadvantages.
#Protesters are demanding the release of over 40 #Baltimore #mothers--people who have committed no crimes--who have allegedly been #kidnapped and detained in appallingly #unsafe conditions by #ICE and moved out-of-state to inhumane, cruel facilities. #AbolishICE #PeaceNOW
All eyes turned heavenward during the #NASA #Artemis2 #space mission last week. #Pilot #VictorGlover looked back toward #Earth to remind us that #peace is a responsibility of all of us: “In all this emptiness…you have this beautiful place that we get to #exist #together.”
NO #AIDataCenters EVER!
Starting tonight, #WashingtonDC enforces a 7-day-a-week #juvenile #curfew for all individuals under the age of 18, prohibiting them from being in public from night to dawn unless accompanied by a parent on penalty of immediate arrest and imprisonment. Thoughts?
The #McKimCommunityGames is one of #Maryland's largest and most #peaceful #youth #athletics event, attracting over 1,500 competitors and family for a day of #TrackNField. We're joyful to be the #McKimCenter's longtime institutional partner. Support the #games 4/26/26! 💙
TRUTH: Private school #vouchers STEAL from #PublicSchools. Non-tax-paying religious schools must fund themselves, NOT with taxpayers' money.
In #Maryland, many #juveniles are charged as adults. A new state bill ensures that alleged #underage offenders are prosecuted in the #JuvenileJustice system. But state's attorneys fear the #JuvenileJustice system will be overwhelmed and other opponents decry spiking youth crime.
Sunday was Easter so some of our Youth #Peacemakers helped #cook this week's #meals for the #community on Monday with our Executive Director. Learn more about how healthy low-salt, low-sugar #foodways reduces aggression and uplifts #peace at wisdomprojects.org/foodways
If you see them,❌DO NOT watch these videos!❌ We thought this disgusting #SocialMedia trend was waning, but it's increasing. Under the guise of "social experiments," wealthy #white #male "influencers" are filming themselves giving alcohol to the #homeless, shaming them and threatening their health.
Marylanders outraged by rising monthly #gas and #electric costs are speaking out about changes to a #Maryland #ENERGY bill that was supposed to lower costs for consumers. Advocates like #MarylandPIRG say the legislation's changes will increase energy costs for consumers.
Let's begin the week meditating on the need for #fresh #clean #water to be 100% free for all living species on earth.
Tonight belongs to all the brilliant little #Chinese girls in the world, especially this one (who you may remember from many social media posts) dancing the Lunar year #YingGe dance ritual in #Chaoshan in #Guangdong Southern #China. Be #inspired and at #peace.
