What We Learned from Tarana Burke + Join Us Tomorrow
Hey Fam,
We know these Friday emails can get long—because liberation, freedom, and healing don’t always fit neatly into easily digestible tweets and captions (and like Gil Scott-Heron said, the revolution will not be televised, so sometimes we have to read!).
But everything that needed to be said this week happened on The Liberation Line when we talked with the incomparable Tarana Burke—one of the most powerful organizers of our time.
Listen here.
We’ve been overwhelmed by the response from women across the country who have reached out to say how much they needed this conversation in this moment. Thank you—we hear you. Thousands of women have been walking and talking with us on Saturdays at 9AM—having Church on the pavement, healing together, and reclaiming what’s ours. If you haven’t been joining us, where you at? This is your pledge. Your mission. If you’re part of this movement, showing up is what we do.
We’ll see you tomorrow at 9AM Eastern. Walk with us.
The number's the same. Dial: (646) 876-9923 Code: 734464325# (+16468769923,,734464325#).
Solidarity For: Survivors and the Power of Showing Up
If you were moved by our conversation, where we walked in solidarity with the Survivors' Agenda and learned about building a constituency and showing up for ourselves and our communities at the polls, then here’s your chance to stand with us.
We have 100 solidarity shirts for the first women to respond. Claim yours here. Wear it as a badge of courage, a symbol of how we show up informed and ready to take action.
As Tarana said, “Healing is not a destination, it’s the journey we take together.”
Grateful to be on this journey with you.
Vanessa & Morgan
