Nekima Levy Armstrong (@nekimal) draws a direct line from the laws used against enslaved people to what’s happening with ICE today — and to Operation Metro Surge in her own city of Minneapolis. Her question isn’t rhetorical: what does it say about a democracy when the law promises equality on paper, but gets weaponized against the poorest people in the country, over and over?

Her answer to that question is why she stopped staying quiet. 🎧 All Roads with Jeffery Robinson, link in bio.

On All Roads with Jeffery Robinson latest episode, Nekima Levy Armstrong (@nekimal) talks about raising her daughter on the front lines of protests against police violence and the other kids out there with her, some barely old enough to walk, holding signs, telling their parents not to come pick them up early. “I’m fighting for freedom.”

Proof that kids have always understood something about courage that adults sometimes have to relearn. 🎧 Link in bio.

Thank you @nekimal, for an incredible storytime of J Is for Justice this past weekend at @acorn.bookshop❤️

I swear this bookstore is magical, and Nekima brought even more magic into the space. We read, we chanted, some of us cried, and the power of books was truly felt.

Thank you to everyone who came out, purchased a book, and helped make the morning so special. A huge thank you to Nekima for taking time from her busy schedule of working and advocating for the rights of our community to share this beautiful book with us. As well as thank you to @acorn.bookshop for their beautiful space.

This is what we mean when we talk about the power of books: bringing people together, helping us learn our history, and creating space for community to celebrate and push literacy forward.

Sometimes we’re lucky enough to meet our real-life heroes. Sometimes small bookshops become spaces where stories are shared, voices are heard and hope shines her light into the lives of our young people. And maybe !??some chants were heard from outside ☮️ Incredibly grateful. @readwithmemn @acorn.bookshop @nekimal
