I'm on the email list for the Kensington Welfare Rights Union, who was instrumental in Bushville I and II as well as shaming heat companies to NOT turn of heat in the middle of the cold Philly winter. I got this petition for action in an email today.

News articles discussing newly outed documents by written Alito, which preach his revery for Reagan, focus on his anti-choice stance. This is important, but reading between the lines about "race quotas" tells us a little more: ALITO IS LOOKING OUT FOR WHITE FOLKS, ESPECIALLY WHITE MEN.

What isn't even mentioned, but can be resonably assumed, is that he's also working for *straight* WHITE MEN.

Obviously someone with such a narrow agenda isn't in the best interest of the country or world (he may vote on torture laws).
I think he reads the constitution as applicable rights of some citizens of the US; instead of how he should...the rights of all citizens of the world.

This is a part of a sermon about being a recovering racist. First, I'll say this is a hard idea to accept, but if one considers the sexist, hetersexist, racist, classist society we are raised in it becomes easier to understand how we can't help but have these prejudices.

Good morning. My name is Sarah Duncan, and I am a white Euro-American. I'm going to speak to you this morning on the topic of "What White People Can Do About Racism." I will begin by defining the problem, and proceed on from there to what to do about it. I struggled a lot when choosing the topic with the fact that there would be people of color in the congregation today, but I know that one element of white racism is that for years whites have been telling people of color what they should do about their problem, rather than focussing on ourselves. We say things like "If we just help people in communities of color end the poverty and violence there, everything will be okay." Certainly that has been true of me. As a result, I decided to focus today on what white people can do about racism. Whether that will work for the people of color in the congregation I leave as an open question, and if it doesn't, I encourage you to tell me so after the service.
