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.

Hey @EngageFurman @FurmanNews @Furman_Alumni as an alumnus — and now pediatrician — who graduated with Allie, I am publicly encouraging you to condemn your graduate for promoting transphobia. Transphobia causes suicide. This is not OK.

You’re telling me I have to buckle my seatbelt even though I have airbags!!! Either the airbags work or the seatbelt works but it can’t be both!!!

Real justice is only achieved by preventing these deaths in the first place, and until we can end the scourge of police violence on Black communities, we will fight to make sure that happens.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

A reminder that victory would be George Floyd being alive. Every day Black Americans worry if they will be next is another day without justice.

[Caitlin Vaka @caitlinvaka]

So proud to support this program and the fantastic work of the @USAIDMali mission and @WinrockIntl team in advancing #girlsedu !

[Caitlin Vaka @caitlinvaka]

Interesting conversation this morning with @Pop_Council reflecting on their research across large scale girls-centric and education program on what works and what doesn’t in #girlseducation!

[Population Council @Pop_Council]
