Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - youth leaders

http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/12/justice4jamar-youth-leaders.html

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Wednesday, December 2, 2015. Justice4Jamar - youth leaders. Today as I sat outside the 4th precinct I felt discouraged. Last night's snow collapsed tents. Firewood is. And then a school bus slows down as it drives by the barricade and I hear all these tiny little voices yelling "BLACK LIVES MATTER! When I came home tonight I saw. MPS Board of Education Director's open letter to Minneapolis youth. Dear Students of Minneapolis Public Schools,. I can’t tell you how heavy it ...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - appalling silence

http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/justice4jamar-appalling-silence.html

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Tuesday, November 24, 2015. Justice4Jamar - appalling silence. History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. 8211; Martin Luther King, Jr. I'm pretty pissed off at this point. I have been for the past week, but today I hit the boiling point. I have no doubt that I will offend and/or piss off people with this post. So it goes I guess. Friends, ...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - it's personal

And. This is family mourning. This is friends grieving. This is a 10-year-old who watched the murder traumatized. This is a community tired and pissed off. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - loyalty and power

http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/justice4jamar.html

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Wednesday, November 18, 2015. Justice4Jamar - loyalty and power. Martin Luther King, Jr. As a resident of Minneapolis, I feel the tension that is present in our city deeply. This is my city, and there is no question that there is institutional racism present, not to mention the racism alive in people (in all of us, in my opinion). In light of the current situation here, although I don't really know what to say, I feel like I need to say something. Is one of the most profound, p...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: The importance of suicide prevention.

http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-importance-of-suicide-prevention.html

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Saturday, April 2, 2016. The importance of suicide prevention. I have been reminded by a few people lately that there hasn't been any activity on my blog for quite some time, and that I haven't posted much in relation to this year's Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk. I turned to my dog, soundly asleep beside me, and I thanked her once again for being here because nights like tonight often hold the capacity to come damn close to landing a catastrophic blow of despair for me.

Abiding in Steadfast Love: through the night

http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2016/05/through-night.html

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Thursday, May 12, 2016. Below the video is the "script" I wrote to accompany videos and photos from last year's Out of the Darkness Overnight walk in Dallas, TX. The quality of the footage is not awesome, but I wanted to offer a glimpse into what the walk is like. EVERY YEAR more than 800,000- some data estimates more than 1,000,000- people take their own life. EVERY DAY approximately 3,000 people die from suicide. According to the World Health Organization. World Health Organi...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: You never stop fighting for your own.

http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/you-never-stop-fighting-for-your-own.html

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Sunday, November 22, 2015. You never stop fighting for your own. What do you mean "Is it worth my time? Hat doesn't even deserve an answer. One of the "chants" of social justice movements are these words from Assata Shakur. It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains. If you have another 4 minutes, watch this. Most injustice is legalized. Most truth speakers are crucified.

Abiding in Steadfast Love: "a whispering, wily villain"

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Friday, January 8, 2016. A whispering, wily villain". Nation Alliance on Mental Illness) now has a cool spot on their website simply called Personal Stories. NAMI is known for the research and advocacy and education and I think this place- where real people can talk about what mental illness is really like (not just stats and numbers)- is a beautiful thing. Some day when you are bored or have a little extra time, read some of the stuff people have written. I will fight for you.

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - turn the tables

http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/justice4jamar-turn-tables.html

Abiding in Steadfast Love. Thursday, November 19, 2015. Justice4Jamar - turn the tables. An unjust law is a code that the majority inflicts on the minority that is not binding on itself.". Martin Luther King, Jr. (from "Love, Law, and Civil Disobedience"). So, then, it's quite perplexing why the cops involved in this homicide are currently getting paid and are completely free. Because cops are always right? Or even mostly always right? And the public is always, or mostly always, wrong? In Times Like Now:...
