Sixty years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law a cornerstone of civil rights legislation in history– the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Prior to this, the United States had been operating under Jim Crow -- state and local laws that legalized racial segregation – to marginalize African Americans by denying them the right to vote, hold jobs, become educated, live in certain neighborhoods, use public facilities like buses, bathrooms, restaurants, pools and water fountains, etc. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the beginning of formal and legalized equity and access for not only African Americans, but for racial and ethnic minorities, women and those with diverse religious beliefs.  From toddlers in our Early Head Start and Head Start programs to our Foster Grandparents and everything in between, ABCD is Greater Boston and the Mystic Valley’s path to equity and access! While many gains created through the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are being challenged and ripped away, ABCD stands behind the belief in equity, opportunity and access for all. #civilrights #equity

Exciting Developments for Family Diversity in Berkeley and Oakland!🏡💖 As someone deeply invested in evolving family dynamics and the recognition of diverse relationship structures, I’m thrilled to share news that hits close to home and heart. Berkeley and Oakland City Council members are leading a charge to protect diverse families, proposing nondiscrimination bills that pave the way for inclusivity and legal recognition. This initiative, building off a bill initially proposed by Polyactive, and championed by the grassroots efforts of the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy and supported by the Modern Family Institute and the Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition, aims to safeguard families and relationships from discrimination in housing, business, and city services. It’s a testament to the power of community advocacy and the urgent need for our laws to reflect the diversity of modern love and kinship. The legislation is not just about legal protections; it’s a statement of belonging and acceptance. It challenges us to examine what family means in the 21st century, recognizing that love, support, and commitment are not confined to structures that gained popularity in the 1940s. Let’s use this moment to engage in deeper conversations about family, love, and the importance of legal inclusivity. Share your thoughts and join me in celebrating this step forward for diversity and acceptance. Together, we can build a more inclusive future for all families. 🎉👨👨👧👦 https://lnkd.in/gafSjFU2 #oakland #berkeley #inclusivity #relationshipdynamics #inclusivenarratives #embracediversity #loveunitesus #healthyrelationships #embraceconnection #polyamory #poly #polyamorous #multiamory #compassionatelove #nonmonogamous #nonmonogamy #normalizingnonmonogamy #love #dating #consesualnonmonogamy #cnm #ethicalnonmonogamy #enm #diversity #loveislove #openrelationship #openrelating #polycurious #relationshipdiversity

Excerpt: “In a city like Evanston, racism comes with a smile and a nod, masked behind progressive facades. But scratch the surface, and you'll find a small group pulling strings, dictating who falls in line and who faces consequences for questioning the status quo. My journey in advocating for direct cash payments as reparations has revealed uncomfortable truths about power dynamics and the lengths some will go to maintain control. Join me in uncovering the complexities of our city and why community engagement is more crucial than ever.” Excerpt: "I recall a particularly revealing encounter over coffee, where a Caucasian individual chastised me for challenging the status quo on reparations. She invited me to coffee under the guise of a different topic and then she blindsided me! This person, like many others, couldn't fathom why I refused to accept crumbs when my community deserved more than a housing program. She felt I was wrong to push for direct cash payments to be added as an option. She said, “You should just accept whatever you get.” Does anyone know how that felt for me, sitting across the table from THAT? A Caucasian person chastised me that my people should just take whatever they get for their reparations in Evanston. This woman is close friends with a few Black leaders in Evanston and she runs in that 1% of wealth crowd that, many believe, controls our local government. She wasn’t the first to come at me with this scolding. There have been several. They said if it’s good enough for their Black friends who are in leadership then it should be good enough for the rest of Black Evanston. These women didn’t see these conversations as hurtful, racist, and devaluing because these Black leaders are their close friends, so they have been made to feel safe to say and think these things. That’s Evanston racism. It's not people wearing white sheets, burning crosses, and riding around in pick-up trucks in 2024. It comes with a smile, a coffee, and a photo op sometimes."
