I'm happy that #Kenyans are organising demonstrations against president Ruto on his speech against #Burundians in Kenya, we are saying no #African is a foreigner in #Kenya.

Kenya moves to register frightened Burundians as tension over foreign traders rises.

#Trans & #Intersex #History #Africa — Digital Archive

"It is important that we as #African trans, #gender diverse and intersex people speak for ourselves" — #VictorMukasa

"This statement by one of Trans & Intersex History Africa’s (TIHA) founders, Victor Mukasa, speaks to the rationale behind the TIHA digital archive, the history of trans, gender diverse and intersex movements in Africa, and the importance of archiving our histories/herstories/theirstories.

Supporting advocacy and movement building through archiving

We document events and important moments in a digital archive in the form of a visual timeline, as well as audio and video interviews as experienced and remembered by activists on the African Continent and within the #AfricanDiaspora.

As is the case worldwide, the anti-gender, conservative, #TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) rhetoric continues to gain strength and influences government policies, law and public sentiment, which impacts trans, gender diverse and intersex people’s lived realities and their fundamental human rights. We believe that the Trans & Intersex History in Africa (#TIHA) digital archive can contribute to the efforts of organisations, specifically those who cannot publicise their work due to threat of financial and legal consequences (which includes one of our founding partners), to ensure that trans, gender diverse and intersex existence and lived experience is recorded. This record will play a part in ensuring the collaborative strength of the African movements in combating the anti-trans, anti-gender-diverse and anti-intersex sentiment on the continent and in the African diaspora.

The TIHA digital archive acknowledges the existence of multiple movements, networks, groups and individuals and that the stories to be told are intersectional and carry various voices to form histories/herstories/theirstories. We are making a start with the information currently available but invite stories in whatever media to be submitted from across the continent and from the many places and voices not yet represented.

While we are in a continuous process of rethinking this important work, we invite you to engage with the information that the TIHA digital archive and Trans & Intersex Archival Conversations present. Get involved! Reach out! You can list your organisation/group, share your stories through the Timeline or through the Talk Show by getting in touch with us. We particularly invite first person stories and can facilitate the sharing of these in various languages."

I found it interesting
that #Trump
in his latest 'stammering' speech at the #WH
pointed out that 'many... very many, #ICE agents are '#Hispanics''
True that there are Hispanics, #Asians and #African #Americans among ICE agents
but the majority appear to be > white.
Probably knowing that ICE is deeply disliked by the majority of #Americans
Trump must have thought that saying that 'large numbers' are 'Hispanics'
would direct some of the contempt towards Hispanics....

I was out and about posting #KYR flyers in multiple languages at all the #Hilal and #African markets in #PortlandME a year ago! I've been on top of this #ICE BS before it started! I'm so glad to see folks taking this shit seriously, but sometimes I wonder why so many stayed home rather than making sure a FUCKING #Fascist didn't win in 2024. Just saying... Yeah, I don't mean to #VoteShame folks, but I am #VoteShaming folks! Seriously!!! WTF! This is better than #CorporateDemocrats? Ummmm...

From #Greenpeace email:

"The last 50 years have seen a #catastrophic 73% decline in average monitored wildlife populations.

...here is what that means in real life:

A 78% loss of #African #forest #elephants
A 57% decline in nesting female hawksbill turtles
A 51% loss of chinstrap #penguins

This devastating loss is being fueled by powerful, #profit-chasing interests, from destructive industrial #fishing to #fossil #fuel giants who treat #wildlife as #disposable."

#RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.

Gough Island: Worker sought for one of world's remotest places

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-65254130

A British wildlife group is looking for someone to work on one of the remotest islands in the world for 13 months.

#Gough Island is around 1,500 miles from the #African mainland - and, with no airport, reaching Gough involves a seven-day boat ride from South Africa.

There are seven full-time employees - and eight million #birds - who call Gough home.
