Considering the violent and deadly experiences of racism in the United States during this contemporary moment, there remains a critical need for demonstrative dialogues for social justice. Progressive anti-racist allies-across differences of race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability-must continue to join together to enact strategies devoted to the eradication of racism. Ways to advocate life survival for Black Indigenous People of Color in the U.S. must be actively engaged. Particularly related to the emotional and physical trauma BIPOC communities are currently experiencing in this day and time, there must be a renewed call for the vision of a "beloved community." It must be envisioned by a unified, collective body of people committed to liberation for all the oppressed. In this day and time, anti-racist solidarity means that these individuals must take on challenging conversations about ways systemic and institutionalized racism continues to be perpetuated.In Killing Rage: Ending Racism (1995), published over two decades ago, bell hooks states that "to 'talk race'"-in and of itself-is a difficult subject. For bell, her reluctance toward speaking publicly about the subject of race and racism is the fact that it "hurts ...

In the conception of this book, I contend with bell hooks that silence about race and racism in the U.S. is hurtful.The mission for Liberation for the Oppressed is boldly to affirm the lives and voices of its contributors. They literally put their lives
