My master's thesis is on gentrification from the lens of attachment theory. I did a scary thing and published it on the internet. If you want to read it, I'd love to hear what you think! medium.com/community-ment…

I’m reading about transformative justice and cancel culture because we too often use call outs to avoid direct conflict, conflicts that if worked through can help us navigate difference and make our communities, relationships, and organizations stronger.

“Being loud is different from being whole, or even being heard, being cared for, being comforted, being healed. Being loud is different from being just. Being able to destroy is different from being able to generate a future where harm isn’t happening.” - Adrienne Marie Brown

In an attempt to hold myself accountable to writing more, I made a substack. Is Twitter still a thing? junelinarlow.substack.com

This is a list of CONGREGANT SHELTERS the city is planning to open this month during a SURGE!! 😡 WHO at @SF_DPH thinks this is good health policy?!?! Or is it simply because certain residents of SF are tired of seeing tents?!?!

SF’s homeless are disproportionately Black/LGBTQ+, communities that are also disproportionately targeted & harmed by police. Want to do something about it? Join @CVH_Allies's Days of Action this week: Wed:⚡️Twitter Storm⚡️ Thur:💥Phone Zap💥 More info: bit.ly/CVHA-ActionDays

Perhaps the greatest anti-slavery speech ever uttered is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” by Frederick Douglass, in 1852. I wanted to make the speech more accessible. Here’s a thread with an abridged version of the speech we should reread every #FourthofJuly. 1/

We are finally seeing real urgency and change in the TL. Over 500 people brought overwhelmingly into hotels over last 3 weeks. This is what we wanted and envisioned when we all worked so hard to pass our hotel legislation, for the TL and entire city. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

SFPD was asked to cut their budget by only 4% while other city departments like child care and education received 10% cuts. Does this sound like community healing for the Black community to you? #DefundSFPD

Mental health support is not necessarily therapy! Mental health looks like: consistency, relationships, stability, comfort, laughs, stable housing, nourishing food, deep rest. Therapy is sometimes a component but not necessary.

1,483 COVID cases at San Quentin today. This is HEARTBREAKING. There is a hunger strike, people are not getting needed medical care, there is NO WAY to stay safe while incarcerated. @GavinNewsom This is a death sentence. Mass releases NOW. #StopSanQuentinOutbreak

Today, we are sending a letter to the City of San Francisco about its mistreatment of people experiencing homelessness during this pandemic. Sign our letter for a more humane and public health based approach! change.org/CVHA-petition

The meeting got moved to July 9

There is a ballot measure being introduced by @NormanYeeSF to amend the city charter to change the number of police on staff. It's going before the BoS on July 6! missionlocal.org/2020/06/san-fr…

This. This is why my team is carefully and quickly reviewing cases of all those sent to San Quentin from San Francisco to consider re-sentencing relief for those who can safely be released. sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

For therapists, confronting white supremacy requires strengthening our capacity to tolerate not knowing ncspp.org/impulse/articl…

Going to therapy makes you better at resisting fascism. It is WILD how closely fascist politics map on to the ways that we, as individuals, avoid shame, intimacy, and vulnerability. How much the walls we build around our communities mirror the walls we build around ourselves.

Protestors gathered at San Quentin Prison today to protest the inhumane and negligent treatment of incarcerated people at the facility. The number of persons infected with coronavirus has soared to over 700. We demand action! #StopSanQuentinOutbreak #FreeThem

It’s 971 now. 971 people incarcerated at San Quentin have COVID. @GavinNewsom YOU have the power to save lives & grant mass releases. There are 30K people with less than 1 yr to serve, 5K who are over 65. Grant clemency NOW.
