This is a memo to white folks who have gotten activated to fight for social justice over the last four years, as part of resisting the agenda of the current administration:
The work isn't over. We're glad you're here, and we need you to keep showing up.
1/x Thread.
That "none of us are free until all of us are free" is still true, even if you, personally, might feel safer now.
And the people we hope to be allies to definitely can't afford for us to.
The injustices that long predate 2016 are definitely still in place.
And there's a long road of repair from this era ahead of us yet.
Those horrific immigration laws? Not magically fixed.
The remaking of the Judicial Branch? Will be with us for a long, long time.
We have so much work to do.
The responsibility is for the long haul.

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
