LOCAL POLITICS - WHY TRANSPARENCY MATTERS

A year later a bond is up for vote in North Kitsap School District. A bond worth approximately $264 million dollars. That’s right. And guess what? We are back to where we started. Despite competent and good minds working on this project, it failed to include one of our schools on Tribal lands - why?

POLÍTICA LOCAL - POR QUÉ IMPORTA LA TRANSPARENCIA

Un año después, un bono se somete a votación en el Distrito Escolar de North Kitsap. Un bono por un valor aproximado de $264 millones de dólares. Así es. ¿Y adivina qué? Estamos de vuelta donde empezamos. A pesar de que en este proyecto trabajaron mentes competentes y buenas, no se pudo incluir una de nuestras escuelas en tierras tribales. ¿Por qué?

El lamento, el arrepentimiento y la oración de Adviento de un pastor blanco… Cyon Edgerton

Hemos elegido la política y el progreso antes que la paz.

Hemos elegido el éxito sobre tu Espíritu.

Hemos buscado poder, posición y privilegios más que su presencia.

Hemos subido a plataformas en lugar de arrodillarnos a vuestros pies.

Hemos colonizado su evangelio y bastardizado su misión.

A white pastor’s lament, repentance, and Advent prayer… Cyon Edgerton

We have chosen politics and progress over peace.

We have chosen success over your Spirit.

We have sought power, position, and privilege more than your presence.

We have climbed onto platforms rather than knelt at your feet.

We have colonized your gospel and bastardized your mission.

2024 Celebracion de MLK, January 14 2024 - Danielle S. Rueb (Castillejo)

Viva audaz, libre, salvaje, luche con perspicacia, manténgase al margen, no se dé por vencido incluso cuando cometa un error... y se lo dejo al Dr. King: “Nuestras luchas separadas son realmente una: una lucha por la libertad. , por la dignidad y por la humanidad", escribió King. "Usted y sus compañeros de trabajo han demostrado su compromiso de corregir los graves errores cometidos contra los pueblos explotados. Estamos junto a usted en espíritu y determinación para que nuestros sueños de un mañana mejor se hagan realidad".

2024 MLK Day, January 14 2024 - Danielle S. Rueb (Castillejo)

Live bold, free, wild, fight with insight, stand in margins, don’t give up even when you mess up…and I’ll leave it with Dr. King, “"Our separate struggles are really one – a struggle for freedom, for dignity and for humanity," King wrote. "You and your fellow workers have demonstrated your commitment to righting grievous wrongs forced upon exploited people. We are together with you in spirit and in determination that our dreams for a better tomorrow will be realized.”

sundown poulsbo, part 1 - an introduction -- danielle s. Rueb - castillejo

Historians have found that most sundown towns deliberately hid the means by which they became and remained all-white. Apart from oral histories, there are often few archival records that describe precisely how sundown towns excluded Blacks. Laws and policies that enforced racial exclusion have largely disappeared, but de facto sundown towns existed into the 1980s, and some may still be in evidence today.
