I helped draft H.Con.Res 19-the resolution urging Congress to establish a US Truth Commission because it could present a change in narrative through school curricula, news media, movies, radio, digital media, gaming platforms, and memorials. Help #UnlockTheTruth @usthrt.
January 1 is the #EmancipationProclamation anniversary. On this date in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed this document proclaiming that all slaves living within rebelling Confederate states “are, and henceforth shall be, free.”

Black History is American History! February is #BlackHistoryMonth. Historian Carter G. Woodson launched the holiday because contributions Blacks have made to U.S. culture & society are largely omitted from & overlooked in history books.

The @ustrht Movement is urging Congress to #UnlockTheTruth and establish a U.S. Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Commission to finally help move this country towards racial healing by jettisoning the belief in a hierarchy of human value and embracing #HumanRights.
Despite being held in bondage, enslaved and formerly enslaved African Americans made foundational contributions to our understanding of, and inextricable relationship with, the natural environment.

Black soldiers account for 17% of the active duty personnel in the U.S. military. More than half of #BIPOC soldiers say they have seen white nationalism or racism among fellow troops. This is why we need to #UnlockTheTruth via the @ustrht Movement.

#BecauseOfTheWeCan
Like the US Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Commission bill sponsored by @RepBarbaraLee to #UnlockTheTruth the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct bill provides the tools to address discriminatory practices & seeks to protect all Americans’ right to vote.
Show your support @ustrht
"None of us are safe until all of us are safe." That's why I support the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct & the enactment of a U.S. Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Commission to #UnlockTheTruth & push this country to equity, voting rights and racial justice.

The @CDCgov finally declared racism a serious public health threat in April 2021. It's also a moral disgrace so many #BIPOC face evictions during a pandemic. Demand Congress #ExtendTheMoratorium & enact a national Truth Commission to #UnlockTheTruth@ustrht.
Call your Rep now.
