Care Is Resistance.

This Black History Month, we’re reflecting on care as more than a feeling—it’s action. It’s survival. It’s community. It’s resistance.

Throughout history, Black communities have built systems of care in the face of exclusion, harm, and neglect. When institutions failed, people showed up for one another. They protected, nurtured, and sustained their communities. That care wasn’t incidental—it was intentional, powerful, and transformative.

This month, we honor the legacy and ongoing practice of care as resistance. We’ll be sharing reflections that lift up care as a force for dignity, safety, and belonging—yesterday and today.

✨ Follow along on social media this month as we reflect, learn, and honor.
