I often turn to the words of Martin Luther King Jr. for inspiration. Today I’m keeping these words in mind: “The time is always right to do what is right.”
Aimee Stephens, a transgender woman whose historic lawsuit led to SCOTUS' landmark decision protecting LGBTQ workers, didn't live to see the day she fought for.

But the degree of passion @BernieSanders has generated-particularly among the young-around issues of economic and social justice is impressive and anyone who ignores or dismisses their legitimate concerns around the failures of the status quo would be making a tragic mistake.

He said, "I cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win."
NYC has finally heeded calls to release racial data concerning #COVIDー19.

This data can help save lives.
