During and since the campus encampments that happened this past spring, I developed a syllabus project regarding Palestine. It serves as a resource for educators who want to teach about the ongoing oppression and genocide in Palestine. DM me if you would like to participate in the project.

This kind of geography of oppression needs to be resisted from the bottom-up

Organizing at your workplace can be risky. However, through collective action can lower that risk when others are involved in making changing at the workplace.

This past Saturday, I was on a panel where I addressed lead exposure in Milwaukee's water service lines and how Black and Brown communities are the most affected due to the legacy of redlining in the city.

I want to congratulate @annebonds.bsky.social and Derek Handley on receiving a National Endowment for the Humanities grant for their continued work on researching racial covenants in #Milwaukee through their Mapping Racism project. This is so awesome!

An apartment building stood on this now empty lot in Davenport, Iowa. The landlord, Andrew Wold, and the city of Davenport allowed the structural integrity of the building to eventually collapse that displaced and perished tenants that resided here. Tenant power is needed to end tragedies like this.
