Posting as an ally to spread the word ...

[fiercelydreamed]

From the foc_u community description:

This community [Fen of Color United] was created in response to RaceFail 09. It serves as a place for POCs and white allies to discuss the issues pertaining to RaceFail and to counterract its destructive effects. While foc_u was created in response to RaceFail, it isn't just about RaceFail. This community also serves as a place to celebrate and affirm POCs of the speculative fiction genre, celebrate our favorite POC characters and storytellers, and it's also intended to be a fun place where we can come and discuss our fandoms, recommend movies, books, authors, etc.

It is also intended to be a safe space to discuss issues of race, gender, orientation and how they affect speculative fiction.

As part of today's "Shatter the Silence" Protest, fen of color are posting in celebration of POC fans, characters, storytellers, etc. Tell your story, express yourself, but most importantly celebrate yourself [quoted from the organizing post here]. I encourage all those interested to go join in, if you're a fan of color, or to go read the posted links regardless.
