Wishing a joyful birthday to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He has embodied a lifelong example of peace, humility, and moral courage for all to follow. It was an honor to sit with him last year and reflect on the power of compassion. We are grateful for his light.

Our voices are most powerful when lifted through nonviolent protest. That’s how we turn our highest values into lasting change.

My father believed that America’s founding ideals were worth protecting. On this #IndependenceDay, we honor the ongoing work of building a country where life, liberty, and justice are not just promises but facts of life for everyone.

Realize the Dream flips the script and replaces fear with action. It's an antidote to helplessness—transforming inward pain into outward service and scroll fatigue into real social connection. More from @ArndreaKing, Yolanda, and me:

The death penalty is not justice: it is state-sanctioned violence. We cannot claim to value life while endorsing state executions.

My father used to say, "The time is always right to do what is right." I see that spirit in today’s youth — unafraid to stand up, speak out, and lead with love. They are the future.

Happy Birthday to Justice Thurgood Marshall! He was a trailblazer, a civil rights champion, and the first Black Supreme Court Justice. His legacy is a testament to courage, conviction, and the pursuit of justice.

61 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. But the fight is not over. Voter suppression, economic inequality, education gaps, and police violence still persist. It's our duty to continue the struggle for peace, equity, and justice.

#OTD 51 years ago, my grandmother was assassinated in Atlanta while playing the Lord’s Prayer at church. Gun violence is no stranger to my family, and I know the pain it inflicts. I honor my grandmothers legacy by renewing my call for peace and nonviolence.

Happy 84th Birthday to Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), born #OTD in 1941. As a SNCC leader, he gave voice to Black Power and challenged a generation to speak truth to power.

Today marks 56 years since the Stonewall Riots, an act of defiance that ignited the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. We remember icons such as Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and we continue their fight for justice. #PrideMonth.

Today we remember the Stonewall Riots—where LGBTQ+ activists, led by Black and Brown trans women, stood up against injustice and sparked a movement for equality that continues today. We honor the power of protest and the courage it takes to demand change, justice & dignity.
