Whether I would have an abortion or not, it’s hard not to view this ruling as a stripping of rights for women. Other rulings being discussed for consideration (marriage equality) would mean that the freedoms I fought for are only for some and definitely not for me.
As we digest this verdict, we need to realise that a man died and another has now lost his right to freedom because of that death. We need to seriously think about how we heal collectively while not repeating the mistakes of our past.
I am so excited to have met this amazing woman and am so inspired by the work I know she’ll do to champion all the people of St Louis, as she did as the Treasurer. @tishaura is the transformative force we need to emulate across our communities. Congratulations, Mayor-elect!!!
Watch out @RodneyDavis, you’re racism is showing. You should be careful when you talk about the election process seeing as how you’ve repeatedly voted against voter protection. What was that about being the 54th most bipartisan member in Congress?
@CarolAmmons4IL@electmikeingram@byronclark22 @sierramar98 and so many others. Still so grateful for you all helping me to get through campaigning. So far a very challenge-filled job but with such great rewards.
I apologize for the language but this is a reality that needs to be broadcasted so we are all aware of actions taken that adversely impact the lives of assault survivors in the military.
The level of disappointment with our leaders and what is taking place is beyond any that I’ve had in a long time. The delay in acting has me more upset than the heavy enforcement seen when other protests have been more peaceful.
Had a great conversation with my USC group about combating Anti-Blackness (which includes Anti-BIPOC) goals. There’s nothing more exciting than seeing your work move towards the equity that people just talk about. Fight On! ✌🏾
So much to get in order but so excited to have a team of people ready to move in the right direction. You’re only as good as your weakest link but I see no weak links right now. CCT is ready to make this work for everyone!
Sworn in with @electmikeingram (Phew) and George Danos (Jorge) today. Excited to be the first countywide Caribbean-American LGBT first generation woman veteran to represent Champaign County. Let’s get to work taking care of our community.
