On Friday night, I came to the Capitol with my chair. I refused to accept that Congress could leave for vacation while 11 million people faced eviction.
For 5 days, we’ve been out here, demanding that our government acts to save lives.
Today, our movement moved mountains.
Sharing these color photos to remind us that the Civil Rights Movement was not that long ago, that Jim Crow laws still resonate, and that the struggle for equity and racial justice continues.
To anybody out there that thinks that climate change is not real, I beg of you, just open your eyes. We are seeing more and more climate disasters every day.
We must come together and take on the existential threat of climate change.
Many who quote my father now would have hated him then. He was assassinated for working to end war, poverty, and racism, which some erroneously claim he’d ignore today. But he was a Christ-inspired, love-fueled, justice-seeking, globally-minded, nonviolent revolutionary.
If only people would invoke my father to:
Eradicate racism, militarism & poverty
Ensure just, equitable housing & lending practices
Provide livable wages
End healthcare disparities
Prevent voter suppression
Work for true peace, which includes justice.
Dr. @BerniceKing: "Do not take excerpts from my father. Study him holistically... For people to misappropriate him this way is beyond insulting." #TheReidOut#reiders

All people have the right to protest and to live in a democratic society. I call on the Cuban government to respect opposition rights and refrain from violence. It’s also long past time to end the unilateral U.S. embargo on Cuba, which has only hurt, not helped, the Cuban people.
If we do not act on climate change now, our grandchildren are going to look us in the eyes 30 years from now and say, “What did you do? Didn’t you know? How did you let this happen?” We must lead the world in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels.
The Pentagon estimates that roughly 20,500 service members experience sexual assault each year, according to the latest Pentagon survey, but only 6,290 official allegations of sexual assault were made in 2020, according to the most recent SAPRO report. https://t.co/EUFJDt1w4C
Everyone at Fox had to get vaccinated before they were allowed back into the studio. They ain't working from home anymore, so yeah, all those people on air, telling their viewers that the vaccine is dangerous, have definitely been vaccinated.
It used to be a space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Now it’s a space race between billionaires.
If that doesn’t tell you we need to tax the rich, I’m not sure what will.
