#SayHerName Comes to Memphis

Last updated on: October 15, 2016 at 11:31 am By Guest Contributor

by Deven Lyle Outside of Planned Parenthood’s Greater Memphis area location, members of the Say Her Name movement as well as The Memphis Feminist Collective and The Official Memphis Chapter of Black Lives Matter held a candlelight vigil for the women who’ve lost their lives at the hands of police brutality. As soon as the event popped up in my Facebook feed, I felt compelled to attend. Not only as a longtime pro-choice advocate and Planned Parenthood supporter, but as... Read more

When the Rocks Cry Out

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 8:37 am By Guest Contributor

by Ebony Adedayo On Wednesday, I awoke to the news that Bethel University’s St. Paul, Minnesota campus – the school I attended for Seminary – experienced a racist incident. A rock that had been recently painted in solidarity with Black Lives Matter was now painted over in white paint with the message “BLM = Racist, Blue Lives Matter.” As I scrolled through my facebook feed, searching for clarity about the event, I became angry but I wasn’t necessarily surprised....

#WhiteChurchQuiet: When Silence is Not Golden

Last updated on: October 25, 2016 at 11:08 am By Andre E. Johnson

When I started #WhiteChurchQuiet, I had no idea that so many would not only follow on Twitter the first night of our tweet chat, but also report and write about the hashtag.

Liberty and Justice for All?

Last updated on: September 23, 2016 at 8:42 am By Guest Contributor

by Erin Daza Sigler For those of you who consider yourself patriotic, what does it truly mean to be “proud to be an American” in the “land of the free and home of the brave” with “Liberty and Justice for all”? Most recently I have seen people all over my feed outraged that our flag was disrespected because someone chose to exercise their 1st amendment rights during the national Anthem. My question is what greater dishonor to our country... Read more

Movement Work Must Be Intergenerational

Last updated on: September 23, 2016 at 8:42 am By Guest Contributor

by. Rev. T. Renee Crutcher Let me be the first to say that I applaud BLM, The Dream Defenders and any other organization doing Movement work! What I will not do is dismiss the intergenerational necessity of this work. Movement work is messy and at least organizations today have a backdrop to pull from. We all have skin in this game so we all need to fight from the places we find ourselves! I’ll be damn if somebody tells the... Read more
