6 years ago today, we found out that Mike Brown and his family would not receive justice. That same night, I was stomped by police in the streets of Ferguson.
6 weeks from now, I will be sworn into the House of Representatives to legislate in defense of Black lives.
Yesterday, the United States reported a record number of new coronavirus cases. Doctors and nurses continue to be overwhelmed with all-time high hospitalizations. Please—wear a mask.
While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.
