When Congress needed the Declaration printed in 1777, they hired her. She printed it, distributed it, and put her own name on it — the only woman's name on any version of the Declaration. Nobody can un-sign it. #SaintsAndRebelsFriday #WomensHistory

Alice Wong spent her life insisting disabled people get to tell their own stories. She started the Disability Visibility Project at 40. Named a MacArthur Fellow in 2024. Died at 51 in 2025. The archive is still here. #GoodTroubleThursday #DisabilityJustice #AliceWong

Your story belongs to history. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Pause with me today. Breathe in memory, breathe out erasure. #WellspringWednesday #FaithAndJustice #SoulCare #YouBelong

The National Park Service deleted its page on Pauli Murray. The CDC removed health disparity data. The Department of Education removed resources on women in STEM. When we don't know who built things, we can't defend what they built. Sharing these histories is an act of preservation.

Sojourner Truth never said "Ain't I a Woman?" — at least not the way most of us learned it. Truth was from upstate New York. Her first language was Dutch. She spoke standard English. Did you learn the rewritten version in school? Drop a 🔥. #MoreToTheStory #SojournerTruth #BlackHistory #WomensHistory

He refused the internment order, was arrested and convicted. Decades later a researcher found the government had fabricated the military necessity. His conviction was vacated in 1983. He spent the rest of his life saying: never again. #SaintsAndRebelsFriday

After 8 months of organizing, East New York residents bought their 20-unit building from an abusive landlord — and are converting it into a cooperative they own. "Enough is enough." #GoodTroubleThursday #HousingJustice #CommunityLandTrust

Paul and Tenisha Tate-Austin spent $400,000 renovating their Marin City home. Their appraisal came back nearly $500,000 lower than comparable homes nearby. A white friend posing as the owner got a dramatically higher value. The racial wealth gap has a paper trail. So does the refusal to close it.

The GI Bill is celebrated as one of the greatest pieces of legislation in US history. It created the American middle class. That is true. Here's what's missing: Southern Democrats made sure it was administered locally — which meant that in most of the country, Black veterans were simply denied.

In 1911, a Mexican American journalist founded a league of women that ran free kindergartens, distributed food, and nursed soldiers through epidemic. When the Texas Rangers came to destroy her printing press, she faced them down. They came back with more men. She rebuilt. #SaintsAndRebelsFriday

A Baltimore café closed with one day's notice. Within 10 weeks the workers converted it into a cooperative. Sierra Allen went from barista to co-owner. They didn't wait for someone to invest in them. ☕ #GoodTroubleThursday #WorkerCooperative

Communities have always built what the system refused to. You are part of that lineage. Pause with me today. Breathe in abundance, breathe out scarcity. #WellspringWednesday #FaithAndJustice #SoulCare #MutualAid

Predominantly non-white school districts receive $23 billion less per year than predominantly white districts serving the same number of students. The administration's 2026 budget proposed cutting Title I by nearly 70%. In 2025, EdWeek documented 31 teacher training grants eliminated entirely.

A Jewish businessman and a Black educator built nearly 5,000 schools for Black children across 15 Southern states. By 1928, one in three Black children in the rural South was educated in a Rosenwald School. Almost nobody knows this story. #MoreToTheStory #RosenwaldSchools #BlackHistory #Education

He organized the March on Washington — the logistics, the buses, 250,000 people in eight weeks. Then stood backstage while King gave the speech. Because he was gay, he never got full public credit in his lifetime. #SaintsAndRebelsFriday #QueerHistory

Bishop O.C. Allen III started Vision Cathedral in his living room. It now has 3,000 members — a Black Pentecostal church that is one of the most LGBTQ-affirming in the South. "That's the miracle." #GoodTroubleThursday #LGBTQ #BlackChurch

You are allowed to take up space. Fully. Without apology. Pause with me today. Breathe in belonging, breathe out every message that said otherwise. #WellspringWednesday #FaithAndJustice #SoulCare #QueerJoy

The Trevor Project documented a 700% spike in crisis contacts the day after the 2024 election. On July 17, 2025, the administration eliminated the 988 Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services entirely — the program that had served 1.5 million young people. Not reduced. Eliminated.

Three years before Stonewall, trans women and drag queens in San Francisco threw the first punches for LGBTQ+ liberation — and almost nobody knows about it. #MoreToTheStory #ComptonsCafeteria #TransHistory #LGBTQ #QueerHistory

After she escaped enslavement, she looked around Philadelphia and realized she had no one to share it with. So she went back. Nineteen times. Freed ~70 people. Never lost a single one. What do you do when the law is wrong? #SaintsAndRebelsFriday #BlackHistory

Brandon Smith fought wildfires while incarcerated for under $1/hr. Got out. Couldn't become a firefighter because of his record. So he organized. The law changed. He now helps others do what he did. ✊ #GoodTroubleThursday #OrganizingWorks

Justice work is long work. Your nervous system knows it. Pause with me today. Breathe in steadiness, breathe out the urgency that mistakes exhaustion for commitment. #WellspringWednesday #FaithAndJustice #SoulCare #Mindfulness

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery — except as punishment for a crime. That exception is current law. 800,000 people work while incarcerated. More than three-quarters are compelled to. But organizing is starting to change this. Eight states have removed the exception from their constitutions.

The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, contains an exception. "Except as punishment for a crime." Southern states figured this out immediately. Within months, Black men were arrested for standing on a street corner, convicted in minutes, and leased to plantations and mines as forced labor.

She was 44 before she heard Black people had the right to vote. When her boss said withdraw your application or leave: "I didn't go down there to register for you. I went down there to register for myself." #SaintsAndRebelsFriday #VotingRights

Democracy takes everything we have. Which is exactly why we have to replenish. Pause with me today. Breathe in persistence, breathe out despair. #WellspringWednesday #FaithAndJustice #SoulCare #RestAsResistance

On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Justice Kagan: Section 2 is now "all but a dead letter." Within days, Louisiana suspended its own primary, after 100,000 people had already voted, to reduce Black representation. This is Reconstruction in reverse. Right now.

After the Civil War, the United States had Black senators, Black congressmen, Black governors, Black judges, and Black sheriffs across the South. Then a deliberate, violent counter-revolution dismantled every single one of those gains. The fed government, which could have stopped it, chose not to...

In 1946, B.R. Ambedkar — a Dalit scholar fighting caste oppression in India — wrote to W.E.B. Du Bois in New York. Du Bois wrote back within weeks. Two men, an ocean apart, fighting the same logic of exclusion, recognizing each other across it. #SaintsAndRebelsFriday #BlackHistory

In LA, synagogues, mosques & churches take turns housing asylum-seekers. A minister who once needed accompaniment to his own ICE check-in now runs the whole network. Solidarity becoming circular. #GoodTroubleThursday #Interfaith #Sanctuary
