From the ground in “The CHAZ 🌈 “ in Seattle. 



I'm so inpsired by this brother, Evan - @pettysquables on IG and fb, and the conversation we had - listen to all the knowledge he imparts here with an open mind.  There are many perspectives here in the CHAZ, all in support of BIPOC rights.  This is not some anarchist violent thing, it's the absolute contrary - very vibrant, loving energy here and people are coming together to discuss different ideas on how to evolve our broken systems in Seattle, and beyond in service to black lives first.


This feels like the seed that grows into the whole change of the world!  This is a focal point for Civil Rights Innovation.  

The vibration and innovation here is SO high.  it’s also very serious - what we need to do for black lives, Indigenous lives, all POC.

If you've read Trump’s recent tweets, he made this space sound like a dangerous terrorist takeover - NO 🌈⚡️⚛️ - what is happening here is the True path to making America Just and Fair and Democratic And Accountable Again.
Some are upset that it seems like the CHAZ has turned the BlackLivesMatter movement into an anarchist party zone with no substance and honor to its root in Black and Indigenous civil rights work - I’m here to tell you that this could not be further from the truth.
To *See* 👁👁 what the “CHAZ” is really about - it’s the beautiful discussions happening here.  PLEASE see this organic, beautiful *community conversation* between people of all races and backgrounds earlier today around dismantling racism in Seattle and beyond:

Disclaimer:
My intention is to discover and lift up existing BIPOC-supportive projects here through film, and share with others the learning journey so you can educate yourself too.

***I want to acknowledge that, while I have for a mlong time been committed to stand up for civil rights/social justice on a broad front in my day to day life, I am diving deeper in the education of Who is doing What here in Seattle - BIPOC organizations and leaders.  So I have a lot to learn, and can only imagine how many blind spots I have, and apologize in advance if I’ve triggered you by going a bit bold on my media efforts if the past week +.  Please share input if you have that, I’m open to learning here, and following the guidance of black leaders here who really encouraged me to get these videos out, and “do my thing” from a respectful place.  This, they warned, will not be the advice of “all” black leaders, as this is a movement made up of individuals with many opinions on non-POC participation.

Deep Love to You All, out there  

Brother Darrick Lionijah
