NARRATIVES

The power in diverse numbers stems from an array of talents, skills, and passionate voices. Our collective force of action takers focuses on supporting equitable and sustainable solutions.
“How many more times can we shed tears for the loss of our men?
Until the tears dry and we painfully say goodbye.
Before we shed tears for the next black guy.
Heartbroken mothers die, questioning themselves why?
I just want you to imagine the life of the black man in America.
Mama’s teach them from young to behave and keep your hands where they can see them.
‘They’ as in the police who are supposed to protect them from danger.
But how is that possible when they see the black skin which equates to danger?”

“Above all else, we own our behavior.
As a person of African and Indigenous descent, I know I'm not responsible for the centuries of harm caused by colonialism. Nevertheless, I see it. I feel it. So it's my responsibly to help close the void between genocide and justice because I see it. I feel it.
To my friends and family in and outside this struggle, I wish you a Happy Indigenous People’s Day filled with love, compassion, investment and agency.” James Evans

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month (NHHM), CARE is celebrating Michael Bricker Sr. and Johanna Falber.
👏🏽
Jo’s family is Mexican and Cuban. “I love most the traditions and customs because of the African and Indigenous roots. I have learned to appreciate the sacrifices and efforts of those before me, and to speak up for those that are still voiceless today. (And I really appreciate el Grito Mexicano!)”
👏🏽
Most of Mike’s family comes from Puerto Rico, but he also is part Italian. “My fondest memories is celebrating holidays with my family and eating habichuelas Guisadas that my cousin and aunt would make. I could literally live off Puerto Rican rice and beans.”
Stay tuned for more!

These institutions, intended to assimilate Native people into mainstream society and eradicate Native cultures" not limited to physical abuse, rape and murder.
