With the disparities the Black LGBTQ+ communities face daily, it is important that we take the time to focus on mental health.⁠

[The Chicago Alliance @CAARPRNow]

For all the racists trolling the #JusticeForJacobBlake hashtag:

2) there is NOTHING that justifies shooting an unarmed person in the back.
