OpEd: 'The forces of white supremacy are constantly trying to pit people of color against each other.'
Divya Victorin her poem “Milestones: A Theory of Marking/ Being Marked” that “every migrant body should keep company with its living milestones,” which I see as applicable to all Black, brown, AAPI, Indigenous, immigrant, disabled, and queer bodies — bodies that have been politicized and policed.
Three hundred and thirty-five milestones since the mass shooting that killed eight people in Indianapolis. Three hundred and sixty-five milestones since the same happened in Atlanta. Six hundred and sixty milestones since the murder of George Floyd. These anniversaries revolve around immense pain, but we continue to keep track because from our shared trauma comes shared resiliency and a shared commitment to build a more just future.
Solidarity is a radical act in a society where the forces of white supremacy are constantly trying to pit people of color against each other in an effort to divide and weaken us. Despite the politicians whowe know the truth: The police have never and will never keep us safe. We have to fight back against racist narratives, systems, policies, and violence through political education, advocacy, and mutual aid. The only way to move toward true safety is together.
