I know applying to #NLCInstitute takes time and is a pain but WE need you. Your community needs you. Our country needs you. Black lives keep being taken and we need leaders who will call bullshit when things aren't working and fix what is broken so it never happens again. 🧵1/?
Forever grateful for @NLC_PHL & @KellanWhite for giving me an experience that opened my eyes wider, challenged me to think differently, and demanded that I do something instead of just watching on the sidelines.
Fast forward 30 years and I led this chapter with one of my best friends @abohl22 who happens to be from one of the small towns adjacent to Hummelstown. We pushed our chapter further and now we are led by two powerhouses @ChachDem and @destinedlum23 who will push #PHL higher. 7/7
I am a black man who at the age of 4 had his first experience with the police. My neighbor in Hummelstown, PA called the cops because I was playing basketball on my enclosed porched. That experience is the experience of far too many black and brown people in this country.
As an @NLC chapter that calls NYC home - the nation's largest city, one of its most diverse, a hub for black culture and black thought - we are called to say that #BlackLivesMatter. The #NLCFamily honors the countless black lives lost & forever changed by police violence. #Enough
Its long over due that we have new and progressive leadership — not only in Central Ohio but across the country. We unequivocally believe #BlackLivesMatter and will unapologetically push for leadership and policies that put Black liberation to the front! #NLCFamily#NLCbus
Since we've created this image following the senseless murder of George Floyd, countless more Black lives have been lost & forever changed by police violence. We stand in solidarity & honor those we will never get back. #NLCFamily#BlackLivesMatter
BREAKING: Trump says he will deploy the military unless states "dominate the streets" with an "overwhelming law enforcement presence."
There are 154 days until the Election. Use them well.
