The document discusses challenges to affirmative action policies and strategies to reframe the debate. It notes that affirmative action is often mischaracterized and discussed without proper context. Research shows affirmative action is typically framed as benefiting black people rather than people of color overall and as preferences rather than remedies for racial disadvantages. The document outlines a radio series and website created to disseminate information busting common myths about affirmative action and share untold stories through creative means and expert collaborators.

This article proposes the concept ‘platformed racism’ as a way to interrogate the digital mediation of racism within and across social media platforms. Platformed racism has dual meanings: first, it evokes platforms as amplifiers and manufacturers of racist discourse; and second, it describes the modes of platform governance that reproduce (but that can also address) social inequalities. Both the dynamics of race and of platforms are highly situated. Race relations are unique to each national context and each social media platform has its own specificities. Accordingly, this study explores and elaborates the concept of platformed racism through one particular national race-related controversy—the booing of the Indigenous Australian Football League (AFL) star Adam Goodes; through the lens of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube respectively.

ABOUT THIS REPORT
This initial report was produced by Institute for Policy Studies staff in support of the Poor People’s Campaign: A
National Call for Moral Revival (www.PoorPeoplesCampaign.org). This campaign, marking the 50th anniversary of
the Poor People’s Campaign led by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders, aims to build a broad and
deep national movement rooted in the leadership of the poor and dispossessed as moral agents and reflecting the
great moral teachings to unite our country around a transformative agenda to combat poverty, racism, militarism,
and ecological devastation. We worked in collaboration with the Co-Chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign, Rev. Dr.
William J. Barber, II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, and the Tri-Chairs of the Campaign's Audit Committee, Rev. Dr.
James Forbes, Dr. Tim Tyson, and Shailly Gupta Barnes.
In the coming months, the Institute for Policy Studies will work with the Poor People’s Campaign to conduct a much
more in-depth “audit” of the structural and systemic causes for what Dr. King called the “Triplets of Evil” — racism,
extreme materialism, and militarism — as well as the interrelated problem of ecological destruction. To learn lessons
for today, we will be hearing testimony and interviewing leaders who’ve been in the middle of the key struggles
for progress of the past 50 years. This analysis will feed into the new Poor People’s Campaign’s efforts to advance
structural solutions to the multiple crises of today.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
