5th grade teacher attempting to reimagine a brighter more equitable future.

The presenters from @BLMALA, @WeBldPwr, @LAVoice with #PeoplesBudgetLA were absolutely right, we need to reimagine public safety in the 21st century. One which reduces the need for armed police presence, especially when the situation does not necessarily require it.

Today I, alongside my colleagues, will introduce a motion to replace LAPD officers with unarmed, non-law enforcement agencies who will be responsible for responding to non-violent calls for service.

Put this in perspective: Angela Davis, who has been a part of the freedom movement since her youth, a pioneer of prison abolition as we know it, who lived through the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power Movement, and now the BLM movement...

is saying she's never seen this before.

I don't know why these images have disappeared from our TLs, but the #BlackLivesMatter protests have not stopped.

Dozens happened around the world today. This is Boston 👇

How much does it cost to have an army occupy Los Angeles and why does my mom have to use her own paycheck to buy crayons for her first graders

When you see NYPD with unlimited vans, bullets, and tear gas don’t forgot we needed a gofundme to get masks for our hospital

They don’t want us to march into their precious Berverly Hills. They wouldn’t give a shit it this was all in Black or POC communities.

They’re not protecting the city. They’re protecting the wealthy.

WORTH REPEATING INDEED. IN 2018, TRUMP FIRED THE ENTIRE US PANDEMIC RESPONSE TEAM. Today, Every American is paying the price for his abject incompetence. Instead of strengthening our institutions he attacked them and killed them off. The hour of accountability is coming.

In Beirut

1.5 million people, 1/4 of Lebanon’s entire population, protested against corruption, economic inequality and injustice today.

Standing in Solidarity with Lebanon.

Just WOW! ✊🏽✊🏾 🇱🇧

Chile has been on fire for a week and it’s not in the interest of corporate media to show people protesting economic inequity. Take a moment to look into what’s happening there!

@tiffanymjewell Hi! I’d love it if you could share this book at our school in LA! My students would be about it!

I originally started compiling this guide after some family and friends asked me to make them a list, but after months of research it's grown into a full article that I now hope can be a resource for all people to share! #2020Election https://t.co/hSVsk0sLnm

Of these 250 children, 15 had the flu.

A sick 2 year old had detained teens caring for him.

The children were eating uncooked frozen food. They hadn’t bathed or worn clean clothes in weeks.

This is a violation of the Flores agreement and the human rights of these children.

Mr. President,

As a survivor of war, I want to tell you: going to war does not make you strong. It makes you weak.
