The Pro-Life Movement was Born from Racism

by Ulysses Burley III

Abortion is healthcare! Yet in 2019 alone, Utah, Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama and Missouri have passed the most restrictive abortion laws in history with Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas in the queue. And it’s only May. White conservative evangelical christian men in red state legislatures are proposing and passing these unconstitutional abortion bills on … Continue reading The Pro-Life Movement was Born from Racism →

by Marchaé Grair

“I’m Ariel Skye Williams, I’m 8 years old, I’m unarmed, and I have nothing that will hurt you.” Ariel tells the camera what her father taught her to say if she encounters a police officer. She raises her hands in the air as if she is surrendering.  So begins the viral video from The Cut, … Continue reading It’s Time for White Parents to Have “The Talk” with Their Children about Police Brutality →

I’m not unique in this in any way, as I see the majority of my peers and generation similarly going through “faith crises” and asking pointed questions that both disrupt the … Continue reading Resurrection and the Deconstruction of my Faith →

Forced Assimilation Is White-Washing, and I Won’t Be Complicit

by Suzanne Munganga

I spend a whole lot of time talking about blackness.  I talk about my blackness, my friends’ blackness, my family’s blackness, blackness in America, blackness as it relates to White America, blackness (or the lack thereof) in spiritual spaces—the list could go on for miles.  Along with all this talk about blackness also comes the … Continue reading Forced Assimilation Is White-Washing, and I Won’t Be Complicit →
