Hi Mujeres! This is special episode as we passed the mic to author, leader, writer, and artist to SoSique to share his experience of being a black man in America. Believe it or not, we are in the second civil rights movement and we believe in the Black Lives Matter movement. Please come with an open mind, an open heart, and listen. Below are a handful of resources to educate yourself and organizations to donate to help fight for justice.
We invite all podcasters and content creators to participate in this call to action by @wocpodcasters.
We are podcasters united to condemn the tragic murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and many many others at the hands of police. This is a continuation of the systemic racism pervasive in our country since its inception and we are committed to standing against racism in all its forms.
We believe that to be silent is to be complicit.
We believe that Black lives matter.
We believe that Black lives are more important than property.
We believe that we have a responsibility to use our platforms to speak out against this injustice whenever and wherever we are witness to it.
In creating digital media we have built audiences that return week after week to hear our voices and we will use our voices to speak against anti-blackness and police brutality, and we encourage our audiences to be educated, engaged, and to take action.
If you are able to, please donate to the below organization to help fight for justice.
