Black ppl in Portland *been* talking abt the need for the labor movement to step up & fix their problems w/ literally violent

anti-Blackness
classism
anti-idpol bullshit
& solidarity with cop unions.

I wish yt ppl in labor had the guts to be accountable for yt supremacy but https://twitter.com/livkittykat/status/1300543982930280448

What I’m saying is, we have been ACTIVELY harmed & traumatized by non-profits/unions (even our own) here for years. We can’t be expected to keep trying. This is the whitest city that just happens to be in a state founded as a yt utopia. It’s the most dangerous place I’ve lived.

PDXJWJ, PTU, IRCO, PDXDSA. All these groups local to Portland have issues with yt supremacy, violent anti Blackness & colonial ideas/infrastructure that consistently silence BIPOC folks be nature & design.

Anti-racist yt ppl need to GetYalls People or kick them tf out.

I mean, at least they aren’t actively sitting down with fascists to try to hear them out or change their side of things (unlike Luis, our local male abuser who LITERALLY sat down with a pb for an in person interview.)

But anyway, they got internal work to do before they can help
