“Unfortunately, similar to the politicization of COVID-19, we continue to make gun violence a political issue rather than a public health one, which if we have learned anything from this current pandemic, portends a dire outlook for the future.” https://t.co/tylUWfNDu5
July 4th marks the day America became a former colony, nothing more. We can't pretend today celebrates freedom when freedom is an entirely separate concept from independence. Only until we are all free from violence, oppression, and racism can we celebrate freedom in America.
SB168 is a bill that would shield medical and law enforcement death-investigation records from the public.
@NC_Governor , you must veto this bill. The people of North Carolina demand and deserve full transparency from our law enforcement and public officials.

I'm terrified there is going to be a second wave of new hotspots that happens this Memorial Day weekend.
People- myself included are understandably exhausted from social distancing but I feel like there is a huge risk of loosing months of progress this weekend.
The violent and depraved crime committed against Ahmaud’s existence was a crime against his blackness - a crime that has been committed too many times before. We fight for Ahmaud Arbery, we fight for all victims of gun violence.
Ahmaud Arbery should be alive with us today. He deserved for his life to be valued, and for justice to be served when white supremacy and a gun stole his life. But justice has not occurred, and we must continue on, honoring his life in our work.
