Check this article—a Native American parent implores his child’s teacher to value the cultural significance of his child’s upbringing. An important look at the power of knowing where one comes from.
Ruby Bridges born September 8,1954, was the first African American student to desgregate schools in Lousiana . Although she had a rough time assimilating to this new enviornment due the racism. She still graduated and even wrote a book called “Through my Eyes” about the experiences of her childhood. She is important because she had a huge impact on the south and promoted others to do the same.
Every revolution starts with the aim to help the poor, but when the poor get it they forget who they were and become the new oppressors. The cycle goes on forever

Setting off another year at ACTION. Focusing on #sankofa—looking back in order to prepare for the future. Students received sankofa binders to keep track of their work, but no binder is complete without a little artistic flavor!
Hello, my name is Sam Tutiven and I am the ACTION Intern. I am looking forward to the incredible work that the participants will be creating this year, as well as the the awesome opportunity we have to visit New Orleans and explore a new community. Stay posted for the amazing artwork that is soon to come!
“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
John Ehrlichman, Chief Domestic Advisor under President Nixon during the administration’s “war on drugs”.
"Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
If this isn’t a clear example of Institutionalized Racism, then we don’t know what is. Read this article to get a clear glimpse into how institutionalized racism impacts our society.
By the way, Institutionalized racism is racism manifests itself within various institutions in society. This includes the policies and practices that perpetuate a cycle of racial intequity and are promoted (overtly or subtly) by institutions (i.e. schools, governments, housing, media).
How did the government use policy & law to impact communities of color?
On Equal Pay Day, a reminder: The gender wage gap is very real.
This article dives a bit deeper into the gender pay gap, and challenges the idea that it’s just a myth.
Why do you think there are such differing viewpoints on whether the gender pay gap exists?
How would society respond if men were on average, paid less than women for comparable work?
Today marks "Equal Pay Day," the day when women's pay finally catches u...
Over the past few months, ACTION has been researching patriarchy and sexism. Check out this article to see how far our society has really come in terms of the gender pay gap. Do we think we will ever see the day when women are paid fairly for their work when compared to their male counterparts?
To end our Brooklyn adventure, the Unity went to chow down on some delicious Chinese food at Hunan Delight where we had a great time eating food and reflecting on our visit to the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s Agitprop! exhibit
After our brief visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, the Unity went to see the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s Agitprop! exhibit which featuring the works of artivists working to combat social injustice. For more information you can visit the museums website for the exhibit https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/agitprop
Last week the Unity enjoyed a venture into Brooklyn to visit the Brooklyn Museum of Art, but before we did that, we went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens to enjoy the greenery and bond as a group
The ACTION Project is gearing up for the NYCoRE (NY Collective of Radical Educators) Conference, where they will be engaging folks in a workshop on (fighting) sexism and patriarchy. In an effort to understand how the fight looks different for different folks, we offer his image and description of Intersectionality. #fightthepower

In ACTION, we explored institutional, interpersonal and internalized racism. We engaged in some role playing to see if we could spot some of the not-so obvious instances of racism. One of the made-up scenarios was about a women who was asked to change her hair to make other workers more “comfortable”. Sound familiar?
Check out this article about a woman who is claims she was fired for wearing “ethnic hairstyles and clothing”.
As an adolescent, writer Sharline Chiang bleached her hair and listened to Bon Jovi, but she couldn't shake being Chinese.
“I tried it...being white.”
When I came across the title of this article I HAD to click the link to read this story.
Discussions about race, racism, and people of color often center around the Black and Latino experience and how it relates to whiteness. But check out this powerful testimony from an Asian-American person of color to learn just a bit about how the status quo of whiteness and the insidious power of internalized racism can affect any person of color.
