“In addition to our various forms of protest and dissent, we who believe in freedom must reclaim ownership of the words of struggle,” @imaniperry writes. https://t.co/gWx7bKtSLf

Words of struggle are being perverted and colonized by powerful forces.

We need to make sure that any new police hires are well-trained and not rush intakes. We don't need to create more problems by hiring officers who are power-hungry or don't have the proper disposition to work with the community. https://t.co/nurDgc7LT4
And what's the full story about Mayor Bowser's recent budget request to the Council to quickly hire more police officers? Does MPD need them, can it even recruit and hire them anytime soon even if MPD gets the go-ahead? Join us. @politicshour

RT @SethCotlar: White settlers who came to Texas in the 1830s received 80 acres of land for every enslaved person they brought with them. I'm assuming this will be covered in the 1836 Project, yes?
To keep Texas the best state in the nation, we can never forget WHY our state is so exceptional. I signed a law establishing the 1836 project, which promotes patriotic education & ensures future generations understand TX values. Together, we'll keep our rich history alive.

The right to vote is fundamental to our Democracy. Congress must pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis #VRAA in order for our democracy to survive.

Eradicating racism, poverty, and violence won't happen overnight. It takes a certain type of constructive nonviolent tension for our country to grow. But we will not stop until we've seen a real, lasting change in the fight to end systemic inequality.

RT @TheKingCenter: Many #MLK speeches speak truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity
