Kentucky's first queer rep, Rep Herron, is speaking. "My mom said to me, I ask you to please look for a job and consider staying. Today, standing here and speaking for our LGBTQ kids and trans kids, its a reminder of why I'm needed here." The gallery applauds.

The people of Kentucky need to be aware of the irony in passing medical marijuana today out the senate on the same day SB150 passed. They want MM to bury the anti-trans hate in the media. I hope the media and Kentuckians don’t lose sight. Free the bud & free trans lives!!

Let’s give full context and acknowledge KY waited two years after the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed before it took action. The nation has its eyes on KY. KY is at the center of racial injustice and police brutality. We saw protest in all 50 states and 18 countries

He, along w/ Jackie Robinson & Frank L. Stanley Jr., met with Gov Breathitt to urge passage of the bill. The Kentucky Civil Rights Act was signed into law in 1966, which Dr. King called “the strongest and most comprehensive civil rights bill passed by a southern state.” 2/2

People in Louisville knew these officers lied. There is no relief knowing Officer Kelly Goodlett admitted to lies. The trauma that the Taylor family and the Louisville community face today will never go away. I believe others in the department have been aware about the lies.

It’s hard to find the words when our communities are terrorized on a daily by hate. My heart is heavy as I think about my #LGBTQ family and community in Colorado and around the world. We must denounce hate by creating a more just and fair society. #TransDayOfRemembrance 🌈🌈

Executing a warrant should not end with the loss of life. I am sad to learn just a few years after Breonna Taylor we are still dealing with law enforcement killing citizens. The family has questions and community has questions. Sending my condolences to the family of Omari Cryer

If Warren Co can make this happen we can make this happen statewide. People reentering the community should have a state issued ID upon release!!

Law enforcement agrees: people leaving jail or prison need a valid ID upon release. This simple step would help people get back on their feet, strengthen communities and grow KY's economy. Click below to ask @GovAndyBeshear to start this simple program. #LiberationIdentification

Let’s be very clear. I started the campaign #nomorenoknocks Even before one protest happened in Louisville. To have other Black people especially Black women to erase me from any of the work is not cool at all. To launch any campaign on no knocks without me is disrespectful..

This is unacceptable. People should not be losing their lives while in custody of the city/state. We have had 41 days to take action. This is multi layered however leadership in Louisville need to act now.

Reflections from the 2020 budget to the 2021 budget: We have lost so much and gained little to nothing. I truly hope people realize that organizing and mobilizing are not the same. This work is not about individual people or organizations. It’s a collective.

@Ortiz_PhD @LMPD We can not be expected just to go on. Police have too much power. At a stroke of a pen or flip of the lights they can do whatever and people are expected to just comply. This isn’t nowhere close to community safety
