LOCAL POLITICS - WHY TRANSPARENCY MATTERS

A year later a bond is up for vote in North Kitsap School District. A bond worth approximately $264 million dollars. That’s right. And guess what? We are back to where we started.

Estamos de vuelta donde empezamos. A pesar de que en este proyecto trabajaron mentes competentes y buenas, no se pudo incluir una de nuestras escuelas en tierras tribales. ¿Por qué?

El lamento, el arrepentimiento y la oración de Adviento de un pastor blanco… Cyon Edgerton

Hemos elegido la política y el progreso antes que la paz.

Hemos elegido el éxito sobre tu Espíritu.

Hemos buscado poder, posición y privilegios más que su presencia.

Hemos subido a plataformas en lugar de arrodillarnos a vuestros pies.

Hemos colonizado su evangelio y bastardizado su misión.

A white pastor’s lament, repentance, and Advent prayer… Cyon Edgerton

We have chosen politics and progress over peace.

We have chosen success over your Spirit.

We have sought power, position, and privilege more than your presence.

We have climbed onto platforms rather than knelt at your feet.

We have colonized your gospel and bastardized your mission.

sundown poulsbo, part 1 - an introduction -- danielle s. Rueb - castillejo

Historians have found that most sundown towns deliberately hid the means by which they became and remained all-white. Apart from oral histories, there are often few archival records that describe precisely how sundown towns excluded Blacks. Laws and policies that enforced racial exclusion have largely disappeared, but de facto sundown towns existed into the 1980s, and some may still be in evidence today.

The truce ended today. Bombing continues. Violent images flood my nervous system. I make a point to pray. Death is lurking.

¿Qué es un Sistema de supremacía Racial? - Gabriela Ituarte

Generalmente al escuchar estas palabras pensamos en personas rapadas, con barbas largas y suásticas tatuadas, empuñando la bandera confederada de los Estado Unidos, gritando a todo pulmón que odian a las personas de color.

A mis compañeros inmigrantes - Rachel Anna Smart

Enviaré mi nariz de regreso a Polonia.

Mis manos de regreso a Inglaterra.

Enviaré parte de mi piel a Alemania y parte de mi cabello a Escocia.

Pero mi corazón... lo guardaré en Nəxʷq̓iyt.

To my fellow immigrants. - Rachel Anna Smart

My hands back to England.  

I’ll send some of my skin back to Germany and some of my hair back to Scotland.

But my heart... I’ll keep that in Nəxʷq̓iyt.

With all the love and anger of my Seya still flowing in it.
