I'm teaching a new #class "Solidarity Memory Work"
We'll learn about #solidarity#movements in allied professions (academic history, journalism, etc.) then discuss (1) how to actively #document and #preserve current movements and organizations, and (2) activate that #records already in #collections to motivate and guide contemporary organizers
Republican legislatures in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights, building on anti-abortion strategies seen in other states, including last year in Ohio.
Democrats and abortion rights advocates say the efforts are evidence that Republican lawmakers and abortion opponents are trying to undercut democratic processes meant to give voters a direct role in forming state laws.
“They’re scared of the people and their voices, so their response is to prevent their voices from being heard,” said Laurie Bertram Roberts, executive director of Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund.
Normally made with tomatillos, salsa verde can be made with green tomatoes just as well. This recipe requires sterilizing jars and keep the sauce in the fridge permanently.
1 pound (unripe) green tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves
½ cup roughly chopped onion
¼ cup cilantro (or 1 tbsp KFI Coriander Chutney Sauce)
½ tsp ground cumin
Juice of ½ lime
S&P to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F
Place the tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic and onions on baking sheet. Bake until tomatoes and onions are slightly charred and almost soft. Place in a bowl and cover to steam for 10 mins. Peel off all the tomato and garlic skins.
Place all ingredients into a tall container and process with a hand blender until desired texture. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Place into sterilized jars. Allow to cool and ‘pop’ before refrigerating.
Warning: Do NOT keep unrefrigerated, they will explode.
Note: you can also do a water bath sterilization and store on shelf, unrefrigerated.
