   One of the things I got from Rev. Rachel is this:
   When we acknowledge that Black babies are 4 times more likely to die at birth than White babies in our county, and then we put that away and keep on with our lives, we lose a piece of our integrity/ a piece of our soul.

   I agree and empathize. I see that “Cradle Kalamazoo” is working on this issue.

   I have heard from our brown/black siblings in Kalamazoo that they want to see the White people show up. I’m ready to say that I haven’t done my part but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask how. Is sending money to “Cradle Kalamazoo” showing up? Is there some “in person” think I should be doing?
