Strong, proud Black woman who is a fierce friend to all who feel my vibe! I seek to inspire/empower, and be inspired/empowered with all who come my way!
Thinking of Darnella Frazier who filmed the death of George Floyd at 17 and quite literally changed the world. She testified there are nights she stays up “apologizing & apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more.” But, she did so, so much to get to this murder conviction.
To not indict the officers for murder is to claim #BreonnaTaylor killed herself. Racist America constantly kills Black people and then tells Black people we killed ourselves. Racism extends past death. But we’ll never stop declaring that our lives matter, that our deaths matter.
I shouldn’t have to say this. But I feel the need to. The Black people in your organization are hurting. None of this is new. But we’ve reached the breaking point. If you made a statement about racial justice or #BlackLivesMatter you need to let them take time and rest.
Stop everything @nhannahjones is going to be speaking to @NLIHC about racial justice & housing on July 7th. I've cleared my schedule, you should clear yours. https://t.co/RGvO4Z0oX8 #RacialEquityandCOVID#1619Project
"Only in American in 2020, is jogging while black and sleeping while black a cause for killing." -- Stacey Abrams reacting to the killing of #AhmaudAubrey and #BreonnaTaylor on @MSNBC w/ @Lawrence
I am so angry. That wasn’t a protest, but actions of intimidation. Congratulations @MiguelArias_D3 for demostrating restraint. Some of the words shouted were ugly and racist. Standing with you. If the wheels of justice spin out of control, I am helping with your legal costs.
Independence Day for who? Certainly wasn’t for my people. Nor Native Americans. And today not so for people of color, Immigrants, and the LGBTQI community. So it’s hard to celebrate today. But we stand hopeful of what a reimagined America can be when we have power. #Liberation
Unsheltered homelessness is driven by many factors, but can be exacerbated by a lack of accessible, low-barrier shelter. Does your state have sufficient shelter capacity for individual homeless adults? https://t.co/AzC1x5URh0
Where I live, a lame-duck city councilman was trying to make it illegal for us to give things to homeless people from our cars.
This kid went up and spoke against it. Shouts out to Joseph.
