Join The Poor People’s Campaign
What Can We Do Spokane? How about inviting 5-6 people for coffee, tea or milk and have a DISCUSSION about how you can help The Poor People’s Campaign locally. After your meeting visit https://wp.me/P1UPVH-2Xj and use the Leave a Comment box to tell us about what you decided. Below is more information about the campaign. The national website is www.poorpeoplescampaign.org
African Americans in the Arts in the Spokane / Coeur d’Alene Area
Visual and Performing Arts, Literary Arts, Media Arts
I would like to thank all of those that are helping us to develop a database of African Americans involved in the Spokane and Inland Empire in the visual, performing, literary and media arts.
Steve Pitters and I have been discussing how to bring about a change in mind-set infusing overall community opportunity for African Americans in the Arts in Spokane. The individuals listed here are being asked to consider the following ways they can enhance the cultural scene for each of us by doing the following:
- Develop a community who will commit to attend each others functions and events. This will help to ensure our visibility at these events.
- Use this list to notify us of our activities.
- Use this list to make others in the community aware of our activities.
- People in other cultures and communities in the United States and elsewhere insure the development and growth of talented individuals and businesses.
- We need to change the “me for myself” attitude. Spokane is small enough for us to be able to sustain and support the talents of those who wish to share it with others.
Send us your thoughts and calendars of events and let’s collaborate with each other in support of like-minded interests and events.
Below are the names and contact information we have located so far. Please continue to send us names and contact information on other artists you might know. We would like to know the medium they operate in, email address, street address, phone number, web address, and whether they are on Facebook

What White Women Can Do!
Who Does Safety Pin Box Support?
Safety Pin Box benefits all people involved, but is specifically geared at supporting Black women & femmes who are contributing to the movement for Black lives.
Every month, Safety Pin Box will give one-time financial gifts to individual Black women who have demonstrated a commitment to serving Black people. Financial gift recipients will be featured in that month’s box at their discretion, and will be invited to contribute to that month’s task writing. Any and all Black women contributing to Black liberation in any way are encouraged to apply and recipients will be chosen at random each month from Black women applicants in our pool. The more subscribers we have, the more Black women we can support. Subscription fees, as a form of reparations, go directly to supporting Black women freedom fighters every month.

In the Heat of Battle We Can Often Lose Sight
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to those in the social justice arena suffering loss: Phillip Tyler, Mr. & Mrs. Poindexter, Rachel Dolezal, Children of the Movement.
Four things happened this week. A live Facebook post, a movie, and a couple of quotes. 
- In the movie Roman J. Israel, Esq. lost sight of his own personal needs in a 39 year struggle.
- “We felt ‘called’ to save the world from racism, poverty, and war. We willingly risked our lives. But too seldom did we stop to recognize the burden we placed on our children.” Andrew Young
- In the book CHILDREN OF THE MOVEMENT by John Blake the sons and daughters of MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., MALCOLM X, ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, GEORGE WALLACE, ANDREW YOUNG, JULIAN BOND, STOKELY CARMICHAEL, BOB MOSES, JAMES CHANEY, ELAINE BROWN, and others reveal how the civil rights movement tested and transformed their families.
This is also true for the families of today’s activists.
Even those with the same goals don’t agree on the same tactics.
- “Life is chaos. Be kind.” Devon Waine Tyler
- “Let’s be kind. You never know what someone Is going through.” Phillip Tyler
