As part of our #ScientistSolidarity drive, we& #39;ve been posting threads on the intersections of science with anti-Blackness, abolition, racial justice, and solidarity over the past few weeks. Here& #39;s a handy compilation of all those threads… as another THREAD!

We hope this compilation can be a helpful primer for anyone hoping to learn about/ get involved in efforts to create a more just, equitable, and accountable science that works toward Black liberation & the dismantling of oppressive systems. #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #ScienceIsPolitical
To launch the drive, we stated our goals & named some who’ve lost their lives to police violence. We also named our commitment to fighting systemic anti-Blackness as it intersects with transphobia & gender-based violence. #SayTheirNames #RestInPower https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1270028922596409345">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
Early on we also posted a call to action, with concrete ways to practice solidarity, on & off the streets. #Strike4BlackLives also has suggestions for how to meaningfully take action to help end global anti-Blackness. https://www.particlesforjustice.org/strike-details ">https://www.particlesforjustice.org/strike-de... https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1270761483702423552">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
Part of practicing solidarity is unlearning & relearning what we’ve been taught about science in the classroom. We posted this thread on how the origins & foundation (as well as the present-day structures) of Western institutional science are anti-Black. https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1270389796624494592">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
Along with learning how Western science has been & is anti-Black, it’s just as crucial to learn how Black folks have always been at the helm of science & knowledge making. That’s why we’re sharing this series celebrating Black scientists/ ways of knowing: https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1272950951561789445">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
The first thread in the series spotlights some Black scientists and ways of knowing that have shaped our understanding, study, and experience of DATA & TECH: https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1272956203312779264">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
The next thread spotlights some Black scientists and ways of knowing that have taught us about NATURE, ECOLOGY & CLIMATE https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1273713475160850432">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
Stay tuned: there are more threads to come! On medicine/ healing/ human biology, physics/ space/ time, chemistry/ alchemy, and history/ sociology/ culture/ storytelling...
Another part of practicing solidarity is transforming the ways we work as scientists, researchers, teachers, and communicators. We posted this intro to research justice, with examples of community-led and justice-oriented research that we admire: https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1273374553880752129">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
Along with that, here’s a print-friendly worksheet with guiding questions to help you reflect on and reframe your own scientific work! http://freerads.org/rj-worksheet ">https://freerads.org/rj-worksh...
We also shared an example of solidarity in action, along w/ a lesson on valuing knowledge, from our own collective. Namely, this campaign’s success came from prioritizing the lived & embodied experiences of community members over academic interpretations: https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1271616065743683584">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
Our LA chapter is committed to continuing this work, including partnering with @StopLAPDSpying to expose tech companies’ deep complicity in state violence: https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1274022558019403776">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
As part of this drive, Y’ALL also submitted amazing actions pledges for dismantling white supremacy and joining the movement for Black lives, inside and outside your scientific work. Check them out: https://twitter.com/freeradsorg/status/1275474711653126145">https://twitter.com/freeradso...
Being an accomplice for Black liberation is a *lifelong* commitment that involves transforming our actions and redistributing resources, including $$. Give directly to Black folks in your communities & recurrently support grassroots racial justice groups — like these https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">!
