I am so proud of the work the Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission (MLTRC) is doing to shed light on buried episodes of racial terrorism in our state’s history while working with communities to create a path towards reconciliation. We just had our first lynching hearing — this one in Frederick County — in over a year, and it was nothing short of phenomenal but please don’t take my word for it. The experts, the descendants, and the community members who testified were profound, passionate, and powerful. Despite the somber topic, witnessing this truth telling felt uplifting and restorative. Please watch the hearing. Please spread the word. Please lift up these voices. I recommend starting at the 39 minute mark for a powerful presentation on the history of lynchings in Frederick County and the circumstances behind the lynchings of James Carroll in 1879, John Biggus in 1887, and James Bowen in 1895. https://lnkd.in/e6d9QTPp Maryland is the first and only state to have a lynching truth and reconciliation commission. I am grateful to serve on it and grateful to live in a state that is unafraid to confront hard truths. We will be holding hearings in every MD county where a documented lynching occurred. If you live in MD, I encourage you to engage in the important work of this groundbreaking commission. We will need your support when we submit our report and recommendations for reconciliation to the MD State legislature. If you live outside of MD, consider petitioning your state legislature to create a commission like this. As always, I am encouraged by the diversity of people who participated in this hearing. Don’t ever let anyone convince you that racial justice is a black versus white issue. There is room for everyone on the side of justice. Onward until victory is won and justice is done.

September 30th is Orange Shirt Day, or the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a day to honour the children who never returned home, residential school survivors, their families, and communities. One of the ways we can honour survivors is to push for the completion of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) 94 Calls to Action. 🧡 Local governments have an important role to play in implementing the Calls to Action. An action you can take in the lead up to September 30th is to email your council asking them what they’re doing to make progress on the Calls to Action for local government. We’ve made it easy for you! Check out the letter template below and if you want more ideas of actions to take check out our blog post. ⤵️ Letter template ➡️🔗 https://lnkd.in/eKdgpy33 Blog post ➡️🔗 https://lnkd.in/eyw9BiF2

As many of you know, I used to be the Chair of the Libertarian National Committee. The new management installed in 2022 has been an abject failure and disgrace, and it should be a critical priority for all libertarians and supporters of mutual aid, equal justice, and self determination to replace them as soon as possible. Here's how we do it together.

https://lnkd.in/dK9s7tUp What: Oral arguments in Natalie R. v. State of Utah When: 4 September at 9:00 U.S. Mountain time (8:00 U.S. West Coast, 11 am U.S. East Coast, 4 pm UK down to Kinshasa, 5 pm CET down to South Africa, 20:30 in New Delhi, 00:00 on 5 September in Seoul, and 3 am on 5 September in Auckland) Where: Join us online. See above link. If by happen to be in Salt Lake City, arguments will be held at the Scott M. Matheson Courthouse, 450 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. Brief background: In March 15, 2022, seven young people from across Utah filed a constitutional climate lawsuit against the state government. They argue that Utah’s laws requiring the state to promote, maximize, and systematically authorize fossil fuels development violates their rights under the State Constitution. The first hearing took place in November 2022, where the youth’s attorneys argued that Utah’s statutory policies are actively causing and contributing to hazardous air quality and dangerous climate events, infringing on the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights to life, health, and safety. Now, the youth and their legal team are set to present oral arguments before Utah’s highest court to argue why their case should proceed to trial.
