“Thousands of ethnic women, from nearly all religions and cultures all over Burma, have come together and taken part in the arduous Free Burma Rangers relief team training in Karen State. Year after year this happens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They learn to cross rivers by rope, land navigate, suture wounds, measure dosage, counsel the traumatized, disarm land mines, and much more. Once finished, they are deployed back to their ethnic areas where they serve those in their communities as well as those who have been displaced to the jungles in hiding. Impressive? Wait til you see the scenes in the film. On that note…:) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re trying to finish a film that tells these stories. We quite literally can’t do it without you, the patron, the friend, the volunteer, the partner. We need to raise the finishing funds to bring these stories to life. We’re in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign and have raised 37k+ of our initial goal of 50k. Help us by sharing the website (link in bio) where you can click a few buttons and add to the momentum. If you’re one of the 215+ patrons who have helped us so far, we can’t thank you enough! It’s so encouraging to see so many people join us to help tell this important story. www.fbrmovie.com”

1. Fuck up white supremcists in sight.
2. Fuck the people who couldn’t handle this sign and let fear rule them.
Theses signs were put up around my college campus on Halloween night for the second year in a row. If you find this thinly veiled white supremacist rhetoric to be positive or acceptable in anyway, then unfollow me. If you care more about assuaging your white guilt than about creating and maintaining an environment where people of color can feel safe, then unfollow me. If you are uncertain as to why this propaganda is problematic, then I encourage you to educate yourself and open up dialogue with the people these signs directly affect. Black and brown people, be safe. White people, we need to listen and be respectful. These are tumultuous times, and we must not be afraid to take action.
