Movement journalism wouldn’t exist without Black people, something to remember this Black History Month & all year round. Black journalists like Ida B. Wells, Monica Roberts & Claudia Jones laid the foundation for us. Who are your favorite Black movement journalists? Let us know in the replies!

We express our solidarity with Georgia Fort & Don Lemon as they vow to continue their reporting despite facing federal criminal charges, just as Ida B. Wells continued her anti-lynching reporting after a white mob torched her newspaper office in 1892. Without solidarity, we will never get free.

Sending love to all of our folks shutting it down. Special shout-out to the movement media makers documenting this historic day so future generations will know the people didn't sit by idly as ICE terrorized our communities. 🎨: Grae Rosa

The recent pause of & cuts to SNAP benefits created a real hunger crisis. But Southerners have a legacy of feeding our own—like Georgia Gilmore, who funded the Montgomery Bus Boycott by cooking & selling food. In her honor, we've compiled resources for free food assistance.
