I am moved and inspired to make possible, what is thought impossible. To challenge the norm. To advocate & empower. Y a caminar por la justicia y equidad
A Thread: Atlanta residents and advocates are gathering for a Moral Mass Meeting to lift up the importance of a movement that votes! They are joined by @RevDrBarber & @liztheo, Co-Chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.

This morning, we are planning to have a #PalmSunday service at the location where a young, Black LGBTQ activist was killed, and have been met by a swarm of police telling us we are not allowed to be here. We will still find a way to sing, pray, and have our service.

Lots of people are rediscovering and re-sharing this post this morning, so I’m putting it again here.

I’m not going to quote the NY Post’s horrifying, hateful cover.
Here’s 1 fact: @IlhanMN is a cosponsor of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. She‘s done more for 9/11 families than the GOP who won’t even support healthcare for 1st responders- yet are happy to weaponize her faith.
