Our Black boys, you deserve love & care, deserve to grow old — not confront a lifetime of recovery from unconscionable trauma, violence & racism.
I’m heartbroken, holding space & praying for Ralph Yarl & his family.
After most reps left, @Justinjpearson told the crowd that they witnessed "anti-democratic behavior" from the Republicans tonight.
He invited participants to speak about their own experiences with gun violence.
There *is* a roadmap to prevent mass shootings. Read Mark Follman’s new book “Trigger Points”, recently written up in the NYT. I’m proud that many ideas in the book came from my step-dad, psychologist Robert Fein, an expert on preventing violence. https://t.co/n9x4Xnf6pC
On the anniversary of my Dads death, what a gift to hear this… On the gift of laughter even in the face of grief - and the role of faith in maintaining love and laughter in connection to sacrifice and giving yourself to others. My Dad would have loved this :)
Simply remarkable - @theAmandaGorman your clarion call to unity is the message of this historic day. With my gratitude for your courage to step forward and inspire us to action!
