    Black women are the secret sauce. They show up to VOTE & bring others w/them. Here, the first Black women to vote in 1920. #OurVoteMatters

    George Floyd was more than a hashtag. He had breath. He had a family and was loved.

    Before his name became a hashtag, #GeorgeFloyd was a human being who mattered. A brother, a father, a friend. A person. I’m praying for his family today.

    8 years later and we still #SayHerName. #SandraBland’s life mattered and she deserved better treatment in the final days of her short life. As she said in her own words, “How did switching lanes with no signal turn into all of this?"

    Sen @CoryBooker asks what we all have been asking as we watched the evisceration of the most qualified and experienced #SCOTUS nominee in recent history, #JudgeJackson. “How qualified do you have to be?!?”
