“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or time. We are the change that we seek” - Barack Obama

When I was in high school, I was told I wouldn’t make it here. As the first person in my family to get a Master’s, I had a hard time believing I would. But, here I am. Here’s to believing in yourself and pushing yourself to do the impossible. #firstgen #mswgraduate #columbia

The evidence of our eyes met at last by accountability in the eyes of justice.

This night one year ago was #BreonnaTaylor’s last time going to bed.

She went to bed with dreams for her life. She went to bed with goals for her career. She went to bed with love in her heart.

She went to bed assuming she would wake up the next morning, like every other day.

So damn tired of living in a country that treats Black grief as a threat and white rage as a sacrament

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.

Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.

We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Our sisterhood is resilient.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Can we please stop calling it “the issue of race” when what we’re really discussing is “the issue of racism”

[Richard Unite @Unite_Richard]

Not how I imagined starting my last year of grad school, but grateful nonetheless ✨

There have only been 12 days in 2020 where police did not kill someone. The police killed 751 people in 235 days.

This is what voter suppression looks like.

[Critical Resistance @C_Resistance]

Many reforms & strategies to fight policing are circulating right now, some are AMAZING like #DefundPolice; others, like #8cantwait, want to improve policing's war on us.

When in doubt, ask our chart questions, inspired by @prisonculture.

The goal is abolition. We fight to win.

RT if you want to see the @NYSenate pass legislation prohibiting the use of tear gas in NY.

[Ariana Garcia 🇵🇷 @Ariana_noGrande]

As an afro-Puerto Rican, I’m disappointed to see my Dominican brothers and sisters in NY opposing the #BlackLivesMatter movement. As afro-latinos, the fight for racial equality is every bit as much as ours. I’m proud of my African roots. Embrace it and help lift up our voice!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails and incarceration, we need to be investing in more jobs and education. One thing is abundantly clear: Every police department violating people's civil rights must be stripped of federal funding. Period.

[Jerrica @jerricasays_]

They arrested thousands of people to avoid arresting four.

Let that sink in.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.
