To the journalists interviewing Trump, I wish them the best of luck.

For everyone else, I’m looking forward to meeting and reconnecting with all of you in the Windy City. #nabj

#SayHerName. #SandraBland should be celebrating her 37th birthday today. “Until justice rolls down like water...”

[Girls for Gender Equity (GGE) @GGENYC]

Today on what would’ve been Sandra Bland’s 37th birthday, we remember her brilliance, power, advocacy, and love for her community. But most importantly, we #SayHerName and honor her life. We will not rest until state sanctioned violence against Black girls & women is abolished.
