PPC !!!!!

Lindsay Hower checking in from San Rafael/Bay Area, CA!

Is there a way that we could connect names to faces after or during this intro? I'd love to know who is who. :)

You are on speaker view - so when folks starting talking you'll see them :)

Right now, Pam McMichael is speaking.

Alliance of White Anti-Racists Everywhere www.awarela.org

Question for later: at this time, what are your ideas to dismantle institutional racism , especially in light of the socio-economic changes that are inevitable due to the youth lead climate crisis movement which clearly includes racial and indigenous justice?

Right now, Makani Themba is speaking.

what about camping finance reform?

campaign

Question: why are most protests attended mostly by non POC? And how can we get more POC to come out for social justice protests?

I think we will get some of your questions post the agenda. :)

Someone's Phone beeped twice and it was really loud :(

There will be a transcript.

If folks have additional questions for the panelists, please share here and we will sort through them and share a few with the panel

Any black Buddhists in the house at SURJ?

Will you be calling out Biden on his “Tough on Crime” stance in the past which jailed countless black youth? In the political arena [more acturately discribed as a circus} it is sooo important to call this out

It's Patrisse with the painting I think...

The article from NY Times referenced by Patrisse

Hi Jennifer. We have gotten your questions. Please focus on listening to folks and not messaging. Thanks!

Awesome link , thanks, did you watch the sept 20 youth climate strike in NYC? Never have I seen an event with only POC on stage. It was soooo inspiring

I'd love to hear about any work based in the outdoors and environment. How do we get Big Green and branches like NPS to incorporate more racial justice into their work?

Here is the Harvard Law Review Article by Patrisse https://harvardlawreview.org/2019/04/abolition-and-reparations-histories-of-resistance-transformative-justice-and-accountability/

Thanks for these links!

Sorry , but poor white Southern folks are not largely on board with racial justice, I’m from the South, this is not true

I'm also white, grew up working class/poor in Memphis, and I've found that there are indeed many, many of us down with racial justice.

YES! History of poor white folks joining POC has always been erased because it is dangerous to those in power.

YES! There are urban and rural caucuses to talk about the challenges and opportunity in our various locales.

love the kids in the background 💚

She was referring to Jonathan's comment above - did you see that?

Thank you for al the input. What do you think about the youth whom refer to themselves as “woke” and have a completely different take on race?

which youth are you referring to?

16-27

Thank you Makani! That is brilliant and I needed it!

Me too- worth being here just to hear and imagine that!

To Aliza, there was a comment in the chat that there were folk who were middle class, Jewish, etc., that were important in moving racial justice. I was just acknowledging that comment and also sharing why we might remember this history more than working class history.

It's all good! I just want to make sure there wasn't misunderstanding <3

Yes, our lives do depend on it,Thank you
