Whoever got Sarah Silverman to speak deserves a raise. I thought she hit the perfect tone for what she tried to do. #DemsInPhilly

If "law enforcement" isn't accountable for the easily verifiable homicide of #FreddieGray, then what's the point of "law" or a constitution?

It is great to see Ramsey putting together projects like these to educate others. Hopefully, it will help push the Movement forward.

This was an event hosted by #SilentProtestFW not @FortWayneBLM. Thank you, but we have yet to hold any events.

We did not say anything about who can use 'BLM'. Above all else, there will NEVER come a time when we don't believe #ALLBlackLivesMatterz

We did not tell others what they should or shouldn't do. We did not say anything about what else did or didn't happen at the BBQ.

First, we clarified it wasn't a BLM Network event. Second, we assured folks our principles were still focused on dismantling the system.

Let us be clear. Our statement about BLM BBQ's with police was a direct response to the tons of people and orgs who were upset by the event.

I read an article tonight wherein someone noted that there were "official" & "unofficial" members of the movement. Thats just so wild.
