(3/3) DEI is under attack and the belief in meritocracy is only climbing. It is important that we protest anti-DEI initiatives, and educate people we know about the dangers of meritocracy.

(1/3) What is DEI and why is meritocracy so bad?

In the presentation below, I go into what DEI is, what it means for people, and how merit-based systems simply do not work because of structural inequalities in America.

The picture in this post is so powerful and accurate. It is crazy how normalized environmental racism is today, thank you for covering this topic as it should get the coverage it deserves.

A quote that I found that really showed the connection between the killings of the buffalos to the attempted eradication of Native Americans was: "Spare no buffalo; the demise of each is the downfall of a Native American.” - US Military commander Richard Irving Dodge.

Great presentation on fast fashion in Bangladesh! I found it helpful that you listed some of the brands that contribute to non-sustainable fashion. Many talk about the waste of fast fashion, but I have rarely heard talk about how capitalism contributes massively to it and what its implications are.

(3/3) The effects of what the US government did to the Lakota people still linger today.

100s of treaties were broken by the US government at the expense of native peoples, destroying ecosystems and cultures in the process.

To this day, native peoples continue to fight for their land and culture.

(2/3) Shown in the gif below, the history of Lakota native land is presented. ​

Starting with the treaty of Fort Laramie (1851) and decreasing when settlers found gold on native land. Breaking the treaty, the US Government did nothing, and settlers took over, never truly leaving.​

(1/3) Let's talk about settler colonialism and how it shaped what the United States is today.

To illustrate this, I would like to turn your attention to the Lakota people, who were mistreated at the hands of the US government and still have not had some of their most sacred lands returned to them.
