To forgive and forget is a demand on black people without the work of white folks. It's a complicated idea in intimate relationships, and even bigger on a society level. I explore a little of both and give some food for thought, and a challenge of investment. 

SHOW NOTES: The Navajo and Hopi nation SAVED us by flipping Arizona in this last election, and I'd like to extend the thanks by helping spread the word of a much needed help as the area is ravaged by Covid. If you go to this link there are ways to donate to make sure they are getting the help they need!! www.navajohopisolidarity.org as well as: www.gofundme.com/f/xjgrafa-navajo-amp-hopi-families-covid19-relief-fund

Give what you can to this GoFundMe to provide hot meals to Palestinian children in north Gaza: https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily 

Donate to www.anera.org and if you are in the US go to www.uscpr.org and www.jvp.org for education and prompts for taking action to support Palestine. 

MECA is on the ground to provide Gaza with medical aid, clean water, food, psychological support, and more. Give what you can at www.mecaforpeace.org
