There are so many white activists trying to build a name/IG following/get the book deal, who are really only activists for themselves and their single issue. I know that& #39;s "allowed" and maybe even the norm but I find it depressing. >>

To a soul each of them demands solidarity, boosting, asks us to promote them and their work... & co-opts other movements but provides little to no meaningful support for individuals more vulnerable than they. >>

I want to surround myself with activists who aren& #39;t just stuck on their particular same crusade, who are willing to deepen their practice, boost & include others. I don& #39;t know if it& #39;s a whiteness thing but white activists seem to be the worst at this.

They& #39;re often throwing out memes like "eat the rich", "we need to blow it all up" etc etc but the only real wordsmithing, caption-writing they do is for their pet issue.

OK I cannot leave this thread on a downer note lol

Thank you so much to those of you who include ALL, who include the marginalized human & nonhuman animals that few people talk about, who GIVE & not just demand. Thank you those who are rooted in love & willing to receive it too. I see you and I appreciate you more than I can say.
