People keep writing me about how @KamalaHarris and the @DNC are using our book title. Here is another image from the best selling booking that I coauthored with @AgitArte. Image by Christine Wong Yap.

People keep asking me what I think about Kamala Harris using the title of our book as her campaign slogan. I would be more proud if Kamala Harris said in her speech that she and Joe Biden were not going to send another offensive bomb to Israel. Her words at the DNC rang empty.

People ask me what I think about Kamala Harris using the title of our book as her campaign slogan. “You must be so proud” people say. I would be more proud to see the DNC using our slogan if they had let Ruwa speak at the convention.

Kamala Harris keeps using our slogan #WhenWeFightWeWin. Our book When We Fight, We Win! came out in 2016 and is now in the 5th printing.

#WhenWeFightWeWin: Here is what Steve Meacham of City Life/Vida Urbana says:
“While we don't actually win every battle, the transformations we go through in the process of the struggle allow us to say ‘we win’ even if the immediate battle is lost.  But... we win most of them.”

[Greg Jobin-Leeds @gregjl1]

When We Fight, We Win! is being used in Kamala Harris's campaign. Our job is to keep the focus on the grassroots from where this slogan came. From City Life/Vida Urbana who has been using the phrase for over 25 years at their anti-eviction campaigns.

When you’re advocating for a cause, how do you create opportunities for people to feel the issues that are most important to you? @WilliamPennFdn

And today WE invite all Americans to join us in letting @POTUS & @VP know that we want FREEDOM & JUSTICE for elder Leonard Peltier.

"A retired FBI agent who was directly involved in the case against former American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier has appealed to President Joe Biden, arguing for Peltier's release."

“This is not about a 10 minute shootout. It’s about hundreds of years of what had gone before and the decades of what’s gone on afterwards. That’s why Leonard Peltier was convicted, and that’s why he’s still in jail.” - @KevinHSharp

FBI’s opposition to release Leonard Peltier driven by vendetta, says ex-agent https://t.co/yxhwa4pF2F

[Nick Estes @nickwestes]

“Retribution seems to have emerged as the primary if not sole reason for continuing… an emotion-driven ‘FBI Family’ vendetta (against Leonard Peltier’s release),” ex-agent Coleen Rowley said. @ninalakhani https://t.co/ayY411WKxG

[When We Fight We Win @wefightandwin]

“Enough is enough. #LeonardPeltier should now be allowed to go home.”

Incredible @guardian piece by @ninalakhani that speaks truth to power regarding the unjust incarceration of #LeonardPeltier & the FBI's 'emotion-driven “FBI Family” vendetta'.
