The-Line-Up-(Powder-Blue)_Genevieve-Giagnard_Shulamit-Nazarian_SRGB.jpg — “I think biracial narratives are underrepresented because they exist in a space of in between. It’s comfortable to put people in categories, and when they don’t fit easily in boxes people get nervous.”

“An inclusive environment is about saying, ‘Come as you are because you are enough right now. Share your truth because your voice matters. Give the gift of support by allowing others to show up. In essence, take up all the space you need to stand in your fullness.’”

“Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth’s treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal… To hope is to give yourself to the future — and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.”

Ana Muñoz writes about Con las Amigas y en la Casa (At Home, with Friends), an underground network that assisted with at home abortions in Chile where abortions were a crime. Illustration by Alexandra Bowman.

#Happy Period was started by Chelsea VonChaz in Los Angeles after she witnessed a homeless woman crossing the street with blood stained pants. This prompted her and her friends to get together and make hygiene kits for people who get their periods who may not have direct access or money for these resources.

“There is a renaissance happening with Natives and their allies—people interested in being educated, through art and activism, even just posting on Facebook. But as a woman of color, and specifically as a Navajo woman from a Reservation, I’m finding it very important to take part in these conversations as much as possible.”
