From Chicago to Santa Monica, the Bay Area to Huntsville, Alabama, countless Black folks across the country have lost their homes due to racist and illegal practices. Where Is My Land is sharing their stories. “There’s many, many families that suffered this kind of injustice. You can’t do this to an individual, to a community, to a family, and just walk away from it like it didn’t mean anything.” - Connie, The Ebony Beach Club This isn’t just a story about lost wealth. It’s also about what it means to lose your home, your sense of community and the trauma it brings for generations. Black families deserve healing. Where Is My Land is creating pathways to that healing. Visit Where Is My Land to learn how you can get involved.

I'm thrilled to invite you to explore an extraordinary exhibit that is very close to my heart. As one of the founding partners, it means so much to me to see this vision come to life. “The Stories of Us” exhibition features large-scale sculptures created by a diverse collective of local artists. Each piece offers a unique perspective on our shared past, present, and a future reimagined for equity. This exhibit is not just about art – it’s about reimagining a thriving future for all through the lens of creativity and storytelling. These remarkable sculptures are based on the concept by the talented Jomo Tariku, who envisioned drums as the creative foundation. Drums have always been a symbol of storytelling, celebration, and expression across cultures and eras. 📅 Exhibit Dates: Now through July 7 📍 Location: Detroit Don't miss this opportunity to be part of something truly special. Join us in celebrating the power of art and community! #TheStoriesOfUs #DetroitArt #Community #Exhibit #ArtInDetroit #CulturalHeritage #EquityThroughArt https://lnkd.in/gz7S5WbG

In this chapter, there’s a new spirit of labor activism in the air. What does this mean for a multiracial democracy? We’ll also explore why a “just economy,” where people receive fair wages, ample benefits, and comprehensive job protections, is key to building a good life for all.

I’ve thought a lot about what that democracy might look like. And the description I have landed on so far is a radically inclusive, thriving multiracial democracy in service of human flourishing so we can all have a good life.
