A rebel with quotes on a mission to shift the culture

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Honored to share a practitioner's perspective on community organizing and social change for Dr. Boyarski's new report. Now more than ever, we must leverage our collective leadership to build a just and liberated future for all.

[GU Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership @GeorgetownCPNL]

The Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership is pleased to release our new report, How to Lead Systems Change Work, at this important time of transition. With insight from nonprofit practitioner's, it explains what's needed for systems change to work well. https://t.co/OQElo7Oo73

He's gone. And now, it is up to us to drive out what he represents. He is lies and bigotry and injustice and tyranny embodied--and the work is only beginning to drive him out of our body politic.

Joy, today.

Resolve, tomorrow.

[Marc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill]

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian who was murdered as an enemy of the State. Anything else is just a lie.

[Geoff Bennett @GeoffRBennett]

Warnock, on @Morning_Joe, asked how his background as a pastor informs his approach to uniting people in a divided time: "Listen, if you've ever had to get folks who like anthems and folks who like contemporary gospel music to work together, you can do anything."

[Ayana Mathis @Ayana_Mathis]

So excited about to talk about Go Tell It on the Mountain for @tmagazine T Book Club that I also wrote an essay about it. Humbled to write about a book that's this important - to me, and to all of us. https://t.co/Cy7xNnL0c7

Opinion | My church will replace our Black Lives Matter sign. Will America replace its racist myth? https://t.co/5C8I3qn87S

Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment.

Thank you, @esglaude.

[Austin Almaguer @austinalmaguer]

My church finished a study on "How to be an Antiracist" by @DrIbram. We took commitments on personal action steps to build an antiracist future and identified ways @ViennaBaptist could more fully become an antiracist church. Grateful for such a transformative book and journey

[Austin Almaguer @austinalmaguer]

We don’t need news articles about the “psychology of the lone shooter.” We need public action against the white supremacist, domestic terrorist groups that are organizing heavily armed militias via social media to intimidate and attack peaceful protestors

[Austin Almaguer @austinalmaguer]

"As media attention turns away from the protests, it may simply be easier for white people to forget about the issue, while the stakes were always greater for Black Americans." All those new white allies falling off as their book clubs wrap up...

[Austin Almaguer @austinalmaguer]

An important read that makes it "abundantly clear what happens when global disasters collide with historical negligence." We must learn from this tragedy and unite to build a more resilient, equitable world. https://t.co/BJNRcrInL1

A final call to action from a true hero. Rest in peace and rise in glory, @repjohnlewis. Let us honor you in action and #goodtrouble

“I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me,” wrote Representative John Lewis, who penned this essay shortly before his death on July 17. We are publishing it today, on the day of his funeral. https://t.co/98g0K9zPvE

Special thanks to @markwingdallas for the opportunity to write a piece for @baptist_news inspired by my work with @VOICEVirginia. May we recapture the sacrificial prophetic spirit of Jesus and join God in changing the world.

"Without these men and their allies in the civil-rights movement, the maxim in the Declaration of Independence that all are created equal would be but words on paper written by slave masters," @AdamSerwer writes: https://t.co/zhnPI06xsY
