this ones for the girls

the water warriors fighting for access to clean water for all

the teenagers imprisoned for fighting back against oppressive regimes

those fighting for access to education for all

for the future of the planet

for gender equality

for safety and protection from gun violence

for governmental representation and engagement for youths

for the rights of immigrants

for syria and the rights of refugees

for literacy and the representation of WOC in books

for trans and queer rights

for protection of girls against forced marriage and child slavery

i hope that one day we live in a world where children are allowed to just be children, where they dont have to fight tooth and nail for their rights and their futures, but i could not be prouder of this generation

hey there its ya (gender redacted) back at it again with a great addition and a fantastic teamup

greta has been invited to standing rock to speak by takota iron eyes, a 16 year old sioux climate and water activist and i want to make sure everyone knows her name because i wasnt aware of her before now and i want to say that i think its amazing that greta is using her privilege and place in the spotlight to honor and promote POC activist voices, i am so proud of all my fellow native activists and i genuinely believe that we should hold their voices high as the indigenous residents of this country who are far too often overlooked, and in light of that here are a few more ndn activists

Jasilyn Charger (Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe), who with friends created the one mind youth movement which advocates for mental health among natives and also advocates for the environment

Charitie Ropati (Native Village of Kongiganak) an advocate for education reform for native students

Naelyn Pike (San Carlos Apache Tribe) whose family founded apache stronghold, an organization dedicated to defending freedom of religion for natives and the protection of sacred sites

EllaMae Looney (Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation) an advocate for native language preservation and revitalization

Isabel Coronado (Muscogee Creek Nation) who helped create the American Indian Criminal Justice Navigation Council which trains rehabilitated ex-offenders to help others navigate the criminal justice system and has a support group for the children of incarcerated natives

Shawna Garza (Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma) who grew up in the foster care system and is working to break stereotypes of native foster children and an advocate for education for indigenous youth

must have been easier to be alive before news traveled so fast and you were only ever aware of a handful of tragedies instead of thousands and thousands of them being delivered to you on a daily basis. why is there even a question of why our generation is so depressed and anxious like I’ll tell you why?? everything i read breaks my heart and my capacity to empathize and be outraged is absolutely maxed out. yeah i’m sad bitch! we’re all sad! there’s no relief!

Bi culture is constantly thinking that you might be faking it even when you know that you’re not.

I really can’t stand to see any posts about March for our lives

It’s just too bitter sweet for me. I can’t stop thinking about how black people had police in riot gear and military tanks show up to their peaceful protests with no news coverage at all

Whole neighborhoods were turned into war zones because black people said please stop killing us

Meanwhile predominately white children get to take center stage in national media coverage and no one as tear gased them yet. They get to speak to congress and actually be heard and not written off as worthless…

Look, I was at the march and if you think the military wasn’t there, you’re a fool.

If you think they only let white kids speak, you’re a fool.

All of these kids spoke at length about the disproportionate way gun violence affects their communities, so much so that it’s stopped making the news. I’m sick of the criticism I’m seeing from people who weren’t even there. The truth is that these kids knew that their march was mired in privilege (they talked about that, too!) and they used it to give POC youth leaders a platform to speak. They addressed problems with educational funding, they called out the school-to-prison pipeline that many of these cities have… And then I come here to see all of you cutting it down because “white kids” organized it. Are any of you paying attention?

when their leaders act like children, children become the leaders they need

i just watched people blame antifa, BLM and muslims for the mass shooting in las vegas but as soon as it turned out the shooter was white these people all got eerily quiet.

people who were screaming for justice minutes after the news came out, begging that “the threat” will be faced with a “final solution” suddenly keep quiet. why? to defend whiteness? because if a white man is labelled a terrorist, whiteness will be under attack the same way we condemn all muslims for the actions of a few? it’s dispicable.

this is the deadliest mass shooting in US history and you want to tell me the attacker is not a terrorist???

“Killing Jews” was just listed as a leading component of “Republican values” in Charlottesville

In this video from the Washington Post on the horrific situation in Charlottesville, white nationalist Sean Patrick Nielsen said that in addition to “standing up for local white identity” and “the free market,” his top value as a Republican was killing Jews:

This is how accepted anti-Semitism is. These monsters are so comfortable in support for their Judenhasse that they are literally unafraid to give their names to a major news outlet or to show their faces to an international audience and declare that they want to murder Jewish people. And I worry one day the rest of the world will let them—again.
