Harassment is driving journalists and researchers out of the work, and when they leave, we lose the reporting, the data, the facts.

It’s good when your organization has a policy on harassment, but when things escalate, you need more than a document. Expert Voices Together connects journalists and researchers with a real person, for free, to walk through what’s happening and what to do next.

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone.

So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment.

It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/

The Department of Justice cut our funding.

We were training people to stand up for the LGBTQIA+ community. 560 Texans were trained. We were just getting started. Now, that work is gone.

The world feels heavy, the harm, the hate, the injustice. Resilience isn’t about ignoring the hard things. It’s about holding them alongside the belief that change is possible.

You have rights if faced with an ICE immigration raid. Here’s what to know. Lawyers and advocates explain how to plan ahead, identify ICE agents, and invoke your rights when dealing with immigration enforcement.

“Regardless of immigration status, everyone in the U.S. has rights when interacting with immigration enforcement.”

Remember that unconfirmed border ogre Tom Homan doesn’t want you to know that. That’s what’s actually suspicious.

Hey, all--it's going to continue to be ugly out there. I recommend the @righttobe.bsky.social FREE training (I took it when it was Holla Back). It's what to do when you see people being harassed. #allyship #streetharassment

Good morning. Last night I attended a bystander training session with @righttobe.bsky.social. I highly recommend their training to support you being courageous in the moment to help someone experiencing harassment. It will be very helpful as we navigate these dark days.

Feeling powerless on how to stop emboldened hatred in its tracks? @righttobe.bsky.social is offering a series of bystander intervention trainings to help prepare people to take a stand, in real time, against harassment.

righttobe.org/training/bys...

The more politicians demonize vulnerable folks, the more harassment we're going to see. Please consider taking @righttobe.bsky.social's free bystander intervention training. This isn't misguided vigilante stuff; this is practical deescalation. Session on Feb. 10: righttobe.org/events/bysta...

Stories shape our understanding of the world but are often incomplete or misleading. We need more voices to shift the narrative, especially in immigration. If we don’t share our own stories, others will. Share your story at hateandhope.righttobe.org
