In honor of #NationalWalkOutDay, I want to remind everyone how powerful young people are when it comes to mobilizing groups of people.
Here photos from my March to the Polls to showcase the perfect marriage between activism (marching) and civic responsibility (voting). #Punch91
Chicago March ‼️. We’re tired of losing our friends to gun violence. We’re tired of not having mental health care for our black n brown communities. Tired of no funding. Tired of not enough youth jobs. #NeverAgain#BmoreChi @TGiSenpai @Emma4Change @KofiAdemola @fairtrade_Ervin
So grateful to take part in @YCCSTheMovement's forum today. It's great to see so many young people getting involved in the civic life of our state. Join us, commit to vote, and #punch2: https://t.co/Ci2envx3hK #YCCSvotes2018#twill#ILGov
So many “anniversaries.” Yesterday marked 6 years since George Zimmerman murdered #TrayvonMartin. #OscarGrant would have been 32 today. Charley Keunang #BrotherAfrica was murdered by LAPD on 3/1. May their Spirits power us forward...until justice is won.
We must organize to stop this. Indefinite detention is as inhumane as concentration camps, as plantations, as work camps, as everything that has been universally deplored as monstrous by the mainstream. We cannot allow this to happen. https://t.co/jbHXXZcRuI
The Supreme Court has ruled that immigrants, even those with permanent legal status and asylees, do not have the right to bond hearings — effectively meaning they can be held indefinitely.
