GA-SWOG celebrates Black History Month! It is not only a time to recognize black excellence and the foundational contributions to our society made by black Americans, but also to elevate black voices and to continue to fight against systemic oppression, racism, and disparities faced by black communities. Actively learning the lessons from Black History is the only way we as social workers can uphold our ethical responsibilities and provide ethical practice to those who need it. What can you do all year round to support the Black community? 1.) Purchase from Black Owned Businesses 2.) Listen to, follow, and pay Black Creators for their work 3.) Speak out against racism in all its forms at all levels--from the government, to your communities, to your homes 4.) Sign petitions and donate to meaningful organizations 5.) Reflect on your own biases and problematic actions and continually work on your anti-racism education

On the heels of the launch of our Black Liberation and Just Transition Certification Program and relaunch of our community tools such as the Resource Hub, Policies for the People, and BIPOC in ECJ, The Chisholm Legacy Project will be closed September 2-6, 2024 to give our staff a moment to rest, recharge, and reflect. This rest will allow us time to replenish our physical and mental health ensuring we have the endurance and clarity needed to effectively advocate for systemic change. When we rest, it is a form of resistance and healing in a society that often exploits the labor of Black people. Our intentional rest defies the historical and ongoing pressures to be perpetually productive. It acknowledges our humanity, affirming our right to well-being and joy. By prioritizing rest, we are modeling sustainable activism and demonstrating that self-care and community care are integral to long-term movements.

February is Black History Month. What can you do to celebrate? Well, I'm so glad you asked! ✊ Invest in Black-owned businesses Do you follow a Black creator on social media? Sign up for their Pateron! Or go grab a bite to eat at a Black-owned business. ✊ Take time to learn about the Black experience There's tons of documentaries and movies illustrating the experience of Black Americans. Having trouble choosing one? My recommendation would be the documentary-- 13th. ✊ Amplify Black Voices Share posts from Black creators, engage with their content! One of my favorite authors/creators is Rachel Cargle and during Black History Month, she encourages those that follow her on social media to do the work instead of her doing all the heavy lifting, and in doing so, will posts prompts for followers to take time to research and dig into for themselves. 👊 Celebrate, but don't ask for labor If it was your birthday and someone asked you to bake your own cake, it might be a little confusing, right? Let's not put the work on people of color to educate. But let's definitely celebrate the many contributions that Black Americans have made to this country.

This year Black History Month is about reclaiming narratives and whilst it is wonderful to be highlighted and championed during this month please do not ignore the everyday lived experience of Black people, and not as a monolith but as individuals. Recognise your colleagues, your friends, your peers etc. Personally i love October for BHM, but i also keep that same energy every year and all year round. This is not to isolate the struggle of what people go through but to highlight how amazing we are as everyday people, deserving of all things. Often Black History feels like the opportunity to point out the success of certain individuals but i've learnt that success doesn't come, if not powered by community, encouragement, resilience and opportunity. - Share a persons story - go to an event outside of your comfort zone - donate to a charity - sponsor a cool idea or event - invest in new relationships - encourage mentorship or sponsorship - Volunteer your time to something that might need your knowledge or resource - Say something nice and mean it - Put someone on (talk about nicely) in the rooms they cannot enter - Share an educational tool that might allow people to feel something or do better - Visit a place that you wouldn't have thought of to feel inspired. Above all when you've done it - don't stop there make an effort to be consistent.
