A Conversation with Mary Kay Baum on Activism and Fair Maps
There are some people who have never given up. They have always been in there fighting the good fight. And they are there still. It may appear we here in Wisconsin have our backs against the wall from the ignorance of racism visible in our prisons and schools, from the power grabbing that has occurred over the past decade plus, over the systemic destruction of our beautiful land – but I can tell you the game is far from over.
And that is why I am sharing my conversation with Mary Kay Baum thanks to WDRT 91.9 fm Driftless Community Radio,
I hope you will take a listen. I hope you will engage with the activism that is uniting to help return our humanity. Because as Mary Kay says, “We must.”
Board of Directors of Echo Valley Hope’s statement on ending racism.
Our collective and mutual history is filled with atrocities. And while we cannot undo what has been done, we can seek reconciliation and make every attempt to end the arbitrary racism that separates us.
Echo Valley Hope has long been an organization that promotes, “One people, one planet”, and that remains our deepest belief and desire, but belief alone will not turn the tide of the systemic divide that controls us. We must take a stand.
In light of recent anti Critical Race Theory advocates’ attacks on Boards of Educations across the country, and the ongoing hatred and violence that threatens our ability to come together, to promote peace and goodwill, Echo Valley Hope will be advocating for diversity, clarity, and truth-telling. We will seek that in the educational systems, in churches, in communities and in families.
Ultimately, each of us must engage in the personal struggle to be free of the burden of systemic racism.
We recognize this to be an ongoing effort and we, as a nonprofit educational organization, are committed to seeing it through.
Our Widening the Circle zoom calls will begin Sunday, January 9, 2022 and will highlight the voices of people engaged in the struggle of restoring our humanity.
We invite you to participate.
Thank you and may clarity prevail
