The past eight years have been an incredible journey and we are not only proud but also moved by what we've been able to create with all of you.

We look forward to what the future holds for the youth sector of movement work and direct service.

Next, this bill moves to NYS + "It’s critical to remember that Fair Access to Victim Compensation isn’t just a legislative campaign, but also a public education and awareness campaign, to let survivors be heard and to give them autonomy over the healing they need..."

We must demand many solutions to stop the shootings. Federal laws regulating all gun sales. Funding for violence intervention programs. Microstamping technology to trace crime guns back to their source. Fair access to compensation for ALL victims. 4/4 https://t.co/GphyOHmqWl

[NYS Senator Zellnor Y. Myrie 米维 @SenatorMyrie]

Imagining a Black Future means creating a path for victims of gun violence to receive the justice to which they are entitled. This National Gun Violence Survivors' Week, our Fair Access to Victim Compensation Bill will make it easier for victims to receive the support they need.

It is important to know black history and those who came before you. Identify with them, because that is our heritage; even if we feel isolated at times.
Always remember to stay strong, stand up, fight, stay vigilant and still be here!

[LeVar Burton @levarburton]

Happy February, y’all… and remember, Black History IS American history, no matter how committed some are to erasing it!

I feel the need to tweet this every year. It needs to stick.

Black people celebrate Thanksgiving for very specific familial and ancestral reasons. Our traditions, foods, gatherings are to do with centuries of love.

We do not celebrate nor care about no pilgrims. Respectfully.

I’m thinking about the Black, brown, low-income, queer, and young folks in Texas. The folks this abortion health care ban will disproportionately harm.

Wealthy white folks will have the means to access abortion care. Our communities won’t.

[Monica Raye Simpson @monicarsimpson]

Can we try just this once to decenter whiteness and elevate BIPOC leadership to win back abortion access? Cause we can’t keep doing the same thing and expect to win. #sb8 #BansOffOurBodies #ReproductiveJustice #trustblackwomen #bigmad
