Apply by April 1 for the 2025 NASW Diversity Summer Fellowship Making ends meet on an intern’s salary can be hard. Stipends don’t always cover the full costs of temporarily relocating to a new city or making ends meet while working remotely. Sometimes, prioritizing steps to advance your career can mean putting off other income opportunities that would otherwise serve more immediate financial needs.

PLEASE SHARE: We're excited to be offering the NASW Summer Diversity Fellowship for the ninth year in a row. $3,000 in funding to supplement summer internship pay. Applications due Tuesday April 1: www.nasw.org/2025Div... πŸ§ͺπŸ“°

There’s a directory of Black farmers: β€œThe Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Black and brown veterans call on Gov. Pritzker for pardons to avoid deportations β€’ The TRiiBE β€œWe need to begin to wake up. Not only are Latino people being deported, Black people are being deported, Asians are being deportedβ€”it’s across the spectrum,” veteran James Smith said.

β€œDeporting veterans shouldn’t be in the vocabulary of this government of the United States. We should be here in this country that we protected.

We put our lives on the line.”

This Black History Month, we're highlighting stories from community changemakers Black history happens every day, and the stories from NPR listeners are good examples of that. From becoming the first Black mayor of a town to singing music about change, these stories matter.

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans The NAACP wants Black Americans to steer their buying power toward corporations that haven’t pulled back from diversity programs under conservative pressure.

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI.

You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

The article's thesis applies to a lot within society, but good article.

"But perhaps the greatest of these sins is convincing ourselves that posting is a form of political activism, when it is at best a coping mechanism"
