Eric Garner’s youngest daughter continued organizing after her older sister Erica Garner died of what she calls “heartbreak”. Emerald Garner has still found a way to get up every single day and fight for ending police brutality and mass incarceration.

and im thinking about how her activism isn’t neatly packaged for retweets and even if she did, y’all would NOT retweet a fat black woman speaking on tik tok....

what most people are missing is that desirability, featurism, fatphobia, all of these things play a huge role in whose activism gets “chosen” or legitimized. but you would never consider any of that bc your Ivy privilege has you so far removed

youre removed because you don’t realize that activist and ivy ‘22 in your bio has given you more clout than someone literally organizing because of their father and sister’s death. And the sick part is, you believe you’re more important. whew
