[Sdalliance] Agenda for our Sunday (2.26.17) Meeting & Self Defense Mtg at noon

Mon Feb 27 07:37:06 PST 2017

lol anti indigenous when i am indigenous and 95% of my friends are mexican.
dear i went out to answer the call of someone deported because of ICE. i
started a page specifically for that. nothing in my language was anti. the
truth is the truth and i got word from two ppl but not saying who. there
has been a lot going on you have missed and I've been to kost meetings.
I've tagged ppl in message boards reminding them to come and stressing how
important it is to come and be involved since day one. I've been stressing
how we need to help ppl in danger since day one and have always been ready
for defense. i don't have time for white tears or privileged tears either.
we've had someone in the group mention twice how they have loved ones who
will get deported but there hasn't been discussion on how to protect that
person's loved ones since, as if they're invisible. the meeting i chaired
that you weren't present for because you were sick, had me calling things
out. we need to work on ourselves internally in general which is my point.
I'm hear to straighten out the kinks and get people to self-reflect and go
back to love and nature as my purpose as an empath. deprogramming and
straightening out things won't be pretty. calling out things won't be
either but its how people grow and learn. we are not living up to our
mission and pou if people are coming into this situation (fascism and the
lives at stake) treating it with a org frame of mind and position. it is so
inhumane. as someone said in the meeting yesterday, no we don't need matt
damon leading poc folx to their liberation. if you want to led fine but let
someone of color co-lead. and stop twisting things i say. you did not
mention how triggering this all is or how i spent my father's death
anniversary investing in this instead. you only focused on replying to what
you selected to reply to. you know you and others have my number so as i
said, call me and let's not create a chain of responses
