		<description><![CDATA[What we've been reading. | Today, Sightline is honoring the general strike called for by Black Lives Matter leaders in Washington State. Sightline staff members are taking this day to participate in ways they choose in the crucial, ongoing work of dismantling racism in Cascadia, and beyond. Some are marching. Some are educating themselves or their children. Some are volunteering with racial-justice organizations or registering voters or supporting demonstrators. As we reflect and seek to...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How to raise a feminist son, how solar power will kill coal, why English is weird, and more. | Migee I have a three-year-old son and work full-time, and so what that means is: I don’t read much. What I do end up reading is either work-related (because our stuff is amazing!) or related to child-rearing. As the mother of a young child in this country, I have a heightened awareness about how we socialize the genders. It begins from the moment they enter the world at the hospital&#8212;pink...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ways to reduce racial bias in children, how the brain works for and against us, and more. | Alan It’s just three weeks now since Cascadia lost Alex Dold, another young man killed by the combination of untreated mental illness, untrained police, and a broken mental health care system. Alex, 29, fell into crisis and&#8212;haunted by the demons created by his mental illness&#8212;became a danger to himself and his family. Desperate to protect him, his loved ones called 911. The officers who responded, unequipped to de-escalate a mental health...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why facts don't change our minds, the green movement addresses racism, a cosmos controversy, and more.  | Serena Former Grist staff writer Brentin Mock (now with CityLab) wrote an excellent article for Outside Magazine on the imperative for traditional green organizations to adopt racial justice as a central priority to their work. Doing so, he argues, is the only way to right these groups’ racist legacy and to remain relevant and powerful into the future. My new morning mindfulness practice? Taking a minute each morning to ponder...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Teaching sex ed <i>and</i> death ed, plastic-free legos, understanding "the age of anger," and more. | Migee My son is two-and-a-half years old and very inquisitive. Lately, he’s been talking about and asking about death. It started with the knowledge that his dad’s cat had died and me having to explain to him what “died” meant. He said it so matter-of-factly one time right in front of his dad, it was jarring for him to hear. We, as a culture, do not teach children about or...]]></description>

I share these to emphasize just how deeply, personally, and intimately threatened many Americans are...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pushing indigenous music to the forefront, what does it mean to be white, and more. | Anna I recommend listening to two great interviews from this past week on the CBC Radio show, Q. Both feature young indigenous artists talking about making it big as part of a new generation of writers, actors, artists, and musicians gaining recognition alongside the aboriginal social justice movement, Idle No More. An encouraging cultural reawakening seems like it’s underway in Canada. Director Tracey Deer and star Brittany LeBorgne talk about...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How diversity makes us smarter, inequality begins before the womb, and more. | Kristin E. An economics professor lays out the devastating facts about inequality in America: people of color are disadvantaged from the very beginning of their lives. No, make that from well before they are born. Surely, even the hardest-core advocate of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mindset could not in good faith argue that fetuses are to blame for their fate, and if they had just worked harder in...]]></description>

Lucky America to now count him as one of us! Which got me to wondering: what’s on that citizenship test anyway? Redaction: forget the mushroom suit when I die. Recompose me, please! Alan If you (like me) haven’t yet found time to read Joe Romm’s November 2015 book of 328 pages Climate Change: What Everyone Needs to...]]></description>

Her voice is sharp and clear and powerful on the reasons people are gathering to protect traditional sacred sites and block the Dakota Access Pipeline. She has helped focus national attention on the impact that climate change and environmental injustice are having on Indigenous communities across North America. Mossett was on the Diane Rhem show this week. You...]]></description>
