Cassandra Agredo has grown the soup kitchen at St. Francis Xavier church into the multi-service agency that is Xavier Mission. As the organization’s executive director, Agredo and her team provide an array of services and opportunities to New Yorkers in need. They prefer to be called a “for-impact” instead of a “nonprofit” organization, focusing on things they can change instead of those they can’t.
Direct service work has always been a part of Agredo’s life. When she was growing up in Rhode Island, her father worked at the Department of Human Services, and once the first soup kitchen opened, her parents would bring Agredo along while they volunteered. She continued on this path and obtained a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work from Fordham University. Since then, her passion to enact positive change has shone both through her work at Xavier Mission and Hunger Free America, a national organization set to end domestic hunger, where she’s a
Or sometimes, three.
In light of the Derek Chauvin verdict, Louisiana’s Tulane University is trying to heal the world.
Following the Minnesota officer being found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, the private New Orleans school held “Racial Healing Spaces” Zoom events.
The affairs involved both students and employees and were organized by the college’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
On its official website, Tulane indicated the spaces were for “students, faculty, and staff to join together to help bring about racial healing in our community.”

This space is trauma-informed which means that you will be supported even if you wish to be present but remain silent.

Reading and Tweeting Are Not Enough, but Neither Is Protesting
Sustaining white antiracism requires real cross-racial connection and relationship.
Don’t worry. This will not be yet another essay lamenting the sometimes performative nature of white antiracist activism since the killing of George Floyd. First, we already have enough of those, most of which amount to the woke-scolding of racial justice newcomers by those who think making folks feel shitty for an admittedly simplistic Instagram post will help grow the movement. Hint: It won’t. Neither will insisting that white outrage now is meaningless because it didn’t emerge in sufficient amplitude five or 10 or 20 or 400 years ago.

24 Demands of the George Floyd Square protesters
The 24 “DEMANDS” of the George Floyd Square protestors
Shortly after the death of George Floyd, a group of locals shut down several blocks of the city around the site of the incident. They are still occupying the area and have denied access to local authorities including when a murder occurred there.
These people are such useful idiots, communist morons who are beyond clueless. Am I being too harsh?
They have issued 24 “demands” that must be accomplished before they say they will vacate the area. There are some ransom demands.
Protesters presented the city with a list of 24 demands on August 7, 2020, before the intersection could be re-opened:
