In solidarity.
The Design field has been complicit in the dehumanization of black people. The spaces and places we design establish the preconditions for violence and often serve as the justification for militarized escalation. Join DAP this week in defense of black life. @Blklivesmatter

Please take a deep look at what’s happening in our country. If you haven’t been aware of how broken our systems of state sponsored violence and oppression are please read more deeply into their histories.

Tonight: Overcoming Oppression through Architecture and Design at CCA Gallery in SF. facebook.com/events/19536719…
I recently joined the @AIASF board of directors. I’ll be using my twitter feed to talk about my experience with a lens of equity as the AIA has a reputation of being an “old white bit club”. I’ll be talking about the details of path and sharing info I legally can.
It’s great to be part of the chapter leading @EquityxDesign programming. #gamechanger @RosaSheng are the @AIA local components required to participate in the survey? I felt there are still many communities not at the table on the Board. Would love to work on an assessment for why
The second @AIASF event was the community alliance awards which cost $100 to attend. The board tickets were comped. I am curious how much was raised and spent on the lunch vs how much the AIA financially supported direct community efforts.
The last @AIASF BOD meeting of the year took place in November where new members were invited. It was a very formal meeting including a gavel. New 2019 members did not get a vote, but we were not told ahead of time. Votes were taken by a vocal ya or nay.
The required membership to serve as the @AIASF associate director was $369 which I needed to pay before being voted in 2 months before the term. I could not participate without paying dues. The first business party where I was voted in cost $40.
To begin the experience I was not allowed to join as a public role because I have an M. Arch. This means anyone who has this degree but does not practice architecture is required to pay annual dues to participant in the board
This is me giving thanks to the amazing people of openarchcollab who make space to challenge the status quo, learn how to see ourselves, and build a community of designers paving new… instagram.com/p/BqsZmOWhBfZ/… – at Oakland, CA

Aretha Franklin’s contributions toward the civil rights movement shouldn’t go unnoticed. She helped activists post bail, supported organizers financially, toured with MLK across the U.S. #ArethaFranklin
