It’s #BlackAugust, and we’re grounding ourselves in the words of leaders like Assata Shakur, Angela Davis, and @alavalues very own, Anneshia Hardy.

We recognize the work, leadership, and sacrifice of Black freedom fighters and political prisoners and commit to carrying on their mission.

Commemorate the month with us! Join our partners at @State Voices Florida for a Black August virtual film screening and discussion on Sunday, Aug 17 at 2pm ET

[Image Description: Four graphics. The first is a graphic with a black and white photo from the seventies of a crowd of people holding up fists. There’s text repeating in the background behind the image that says “Black August.” Overlaid on the photo is a blue text box with white font that says “Honoring Black Freedom Fighters.” The second is a graphic with a black and white photo of Assata Shakur smiling. In the upper right hand corner, a quote reads “‘It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains,’ by Assata Shakur.” The third is a graphic with a black and white photo of Anneshia Hardy smiling. In the upper right hand corner, a quote reads “‘When we tell the story, we reclaim the narrative. We center the truth. We remind folks that our lives, our joy, our struggle, and our brilliance can’t be flattened or erased,’ by Anneshia Hardy.” The last is a graphic with a black and white photo of Angela Davis resting her head on her first. In the upper right hand corner, a quote reads “‘You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time,’ by Angela Davis.”]
