Things I jotted down at an event against the deportations of Dominicans of Haitian descent and Haitians in the DR: 

A possessive investment in each others oppression - Junot Diaz

Role of extractive industries on Hispaniola - Quisqueya

Racism without racists - "No somos racistas" campaign in the DR and on social media

Here to be "Hispanic"=white in Miami

No consciousness here about "Hispanic" racialization

This has always been a faith based activity

We seek to increase our capacity to live other peoples oppression

This has always been a small group

We always want more and call for more 

but all strategies can work simultaneously. 

No one strategy will lead us to the promised land.

The thing that seems irrelevant now 

will be the most relevant down the line.
