Part of my path to activism in a post-Trump world. Suggestions welcome!

A couple of weeks ago, a man entered the Tree of Life Synagogue and killed 11 people, in the largest anti-semitic attack in US history. The attacker called out the HIAS, a Jewish immigration organization, on his social media prior to the attack, as part of his motivation. While this attack was specifically anti-semitic, there are daily attacks on many minority groups, and this is a great point in time to show our support.

There are many misconceptions and myths around Cinco de Mayo and its significance in Mexican Culture and History. In the US, it has historically been seen as a day of celebration commonly mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day. But south of the border, the holiday merits very little as the actual 1862 event is a reminder of a tough outgunned invasion of Puebla by the French army. While it was a battle won it was a war that was lost. In an effort to help shed light about this date we will be using this day not to celebrate but instead to raise awareness and funding about Mexican Heritage and help bring equity and change to those that identify as such and are in need of Legal and Educational resources.

Social justice and reform organizations in the hopes that someday soon is "a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." - MLK
