Police fired upon peaceful protestors in Richmond with absolutely no warning with plenty of time before curfew. This is completely unacceptable, but we know the mayor does not respect Richmonders. This violence created by the police must stop. Resign https://t.co/ViFuiYlNaT
URGENT CALL TO ACTION:
An estimated 150-200 folks were arrested in Richmond last night, including some of our incredibly courageous students.
🚨If you were arrested last night, call one of these attorneys for pro bono/sliding scale representation. 🚨
This Saturday there will be free drive through COVID-19 testing at the Jefferson School and Mount Zion First African Church
People can get tested if they’re symptomatic *or* if they’re an essential worker/first responder/healthcare worker/live or work in a group setting
Just as other countries have, including the UK, Norway, and Denmark, we must make sure that every worker in America continues to receive their paycheck during this crisis, retroactive to the beginning of the crisis.
Are you or someone you know facing eviction?
Know your legal rights as a tenant. The Virginia State Supreme Court declared a judicial emergency that suspended all new non-emergency eviction proceedings.

I’m not just doing this for me.
I’m doing this for the people who wait hours in line just to cast their ballot. I’m doing this for the 1,000s of HBCU students/alumni who have fought for voting sites.
I’m doing this because my generation deserves a chance.

Joe Biden thinks we should "return to normal."
Normal means 87 million uninsured or underinsured.
Normal means fossil fuel companies destroying the planet.
Normal means the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer.
We cannot return to normal. We need real change.
“Policies that don’t challenge the status quo right now are incredibly dangerous… Bernie Sanders is not a risky candidate against Donald Trump. He is in fact the safest candidate.” –@NaomiAKlein
Dear family,
You say you want grandkids.
But our generation’s future doesn’t look stable enough for kids.
Not with the climate crisis looming.
Not with student debt crushing us.
So here’s the deal.
You're only getting grandkids if @BernieSanders wins this primary, not @JoeBiden
We look to our youth for energy, expansion and inclusion which leads to growth.
The youth that come to these rallies represent hope, healing and promise for our nation.
It’s a joy to “feel the Bern” with Bernie. Keep Hope Alive! #VotingMatters@BernieSanders
The future of the planet is at stake in this election.
Joe Biden’s climate plans received an F from @sunrisemvmt and his climate advisor made over $1 million as a board member of a fossil fuel company.
Those are the stakes. Let’s act like it.
When legislation came up some years ago determining whether our gay brothers and sisters could be open about their sexual orientation and serve in the military, I said yes.
Joe Biden said no.
Those friends who care about unity and about stopping the madness of Trump and his Administration, I am urging you to stop ignoring the fact that @BernieSanders can actually beat Trump.
