We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change.
The dictator of #Togo@FEGnassingbe who is the current Chair of the @ecowas_cedeao has just announced sanctions against the government official of Guinea Bissau for their undemocratic rule. This is the same guy who bans protests , kill and arest protesters and shutdown internet
Please come witness change in #Togo . We are determined to bring down the oldest military regime in #Africa peacefully. Help us win our struggle by sharing the video of today’s protest. 50 years of Dictatorship is enough. #Fauremustgo#Togodebout
Arbitrary arrestations continue in #Togo . Bob Atisso , à community organizer in the city of Kpalime has been arrested. He is charged for sharing a cartoon depicting minister of security Yark Damehane as a monster. #Fauremustgo#Togodebout
I am proud to say that in my country #Togo we Women do not seek permission to fight for our rights. When we want something , we go for it and we get it. Till we win, Luta continua . #Fauremustgo#Togodebout#WomensMarch2018
.@Farida_N's closing remarks: "We're looking for support at many levels, including from #African civil society. We're engaging policy makers, so their policies reflect the aspirations of #Togo-lese youth. We are asking donors to support a credible civil society." #TogoDemocracy
"Civil society in #Togo has been abandoned, while the #Togo government partners with foreign governments, partners, lobbyists." -@Farida_N#TogoDemocracy
"Elections in #Togo are a suicidal attempt ... state institutions are completely hijacked and we have a highly politicized army." -@Farida_N#TogoDemocracy

Joined the Togolese diaspora protesting in Washington D.C on saturday to thank them for their struggle and encourage them to keep it up.
I will be speaking at a Public event hosted by the IRI on Wednesday the 17th of January at 12pm as part of a series of advoacy for #Togo
Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.
This is the most #Racist
public statement any sitting
President has ever made.
And he did it casually without
thought or apology.
