Thank you to the entire community in Seattle who turned out on Wednesday night. It was awesome to see folks, pens ready, capturing parts of the conversation and engaging so deeply with the work.
Always eternally grateful to @angelarye — thank you for welcoming me to your hometown and making the conversation both big picture but also specific to the context. Thank you to everyone at @townhall_seattle, @elliottbaybookco, and @thestrangerseattle for co-sponsoring the event.

‘From Presence to Power’ is officially a USA Today best-seller in the first week of its release.
Thank you to everyone who helped elevate this book to that level — all the readers, partners, and groups engaging.
And for those of you still wondering how you can help, there are so many ways you can support the book and join our campaign to get smarter about taking on the fights that matter...
A clip from my conversation with @marclamonthill.
When politicians say, “I’ll fight for you,” it’s worth asking: Who—and what—are they actually fighting? Behind every injustice is someone profiting. Real change requires taking on the profiteers and fighting the right fights.
Thank you Roland Martin for giving me the space to talk about ‘From Presence to Power.’ And shout out to all of the many Black outlets, journalists, and media folks who continue to uplift my book. To learn more, visit https://t.co/O7SSIYVmRm.
The right wing has made activism a participation sport. Their folks are locked in — they don the hats, they show up to public places and turn the channel to Fox News. Everyone has a role, and as a result, they aren’t waiting for their representatives to lead them.
In my book ‘From Presence to Power,’ I provide the toolkit for how all of us can show up differently and create change that lasts. In this moment, we all need to “Find Our Power,” and I provide the tools and exercises to help you do that.

Onward…
Wednesday night in Washington, DC blew me away. I left @politicsandprose feeling so inspired by the conversation and community we were able to cultivate.
And thank you to all of the people I love who came to the event — movement folks I’ve built with throughout the years, family who surprised me, and new friends I’ve never met.
Thank you to my brilliant friend @joyannreid who always manages to elevate the conversation, with a deep sense of clarity and understanding of how stories are told and how we can make sense of the moment.
Maintaining political power means strategic refusal of corporate funding. Unapologetic demands will compel donors to support consequential campaigns. Build power first, funding follows. https://t.co/dfiqNwe4TS @rashadrobinson#RolandMartinUnfiltered#BlackStarNetwork
