Black Brown Dialogues on Policy (BBDP)—Nov. 12th Inaugural Storytelling Event at the Texas State Capitol—in 2 Videos

Artist: Maribel Falcon @mariexmachina
Friends,

I am very proud of our work in Black Brown Dialogues on Policy in promoting awareness of the vitally important work of building interracial and interethnic coalitions of conscience. I encourage you to view our recorded Facebook live event on November 12, 2023 at the Texas State Capitol that I had also earlier announced on this blog.

Thanks for all that attended either in person or virtually. Thanks, as well to our co-sponsors as follows: the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, the Texas NAACP, National LULAC, the Texas Center for Education Policy, and the Texas Latino Policy Center.

You can view the entire event from our BBDP Facebook page across these two videos.


Do listen, as well to the student voices who reflected on their own experiences, as well as on what was shared throughout the day.


The testimonies were awe-inspiring. The students melt my heart. 

My friends, this is the precise political work motivates community solidarity across struggles. It is exactly this coalitional work—of the kind that defeated vouchers recently—that holds enormous promise for a brighter future in our state and nation. 

Sí se puede! Yes we can!
