I wanna get free & see all our folk, together, at the finish line.
In 1870, census takers went across the South and counted Black people as whole persons for the first time in this country's history. Not three-fifths. Whole. The Fourteenth Amendment says representation is apportioned by counting the whole number of persons. Persons. Not citizens. Not voters.
Still digesting what an experience The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries Leadership Conference has been. One of the highlights was a family reunion with my Soulforce fam, Rev. Alba Onofrio. Get this book. Read this book. Support the work of Soulforce. 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵✊🏾💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍
Good morning, good people. I love y’all. #GEO2026 I’m headed your way. Come rock with me this afternoon ❤️✊🏾
Tonight's Working Families Party Mass Call was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! In case you missed it, here's a clip from our political education session. Watch the full recording here: www.youtube.com/live/GwkpRdx...
These conversations matter. This weekend, people across the South showed up for voting rights, democracy, and each other. Now it's time to turn that energy into strategy and action. Join us tonight at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT for the Working Families Party Mass Call.
The US answer isn't a better message. It's a container. We have the numbers. We have the grievance. We have the moral clarity. What we don't have is the thing that lets a person in Chattanooga and a person in rural Ohio recognize each other as part of the same fight.
Day wouldn’t be complete without a head nod and deep bow to greatest of all time, #TheMovementMama. Remembering her birthday wish on 4/13/24: “For everything to be perfect, with each of you.” Asé and amen and same to you on the other side, Mama. ❤️🙏🏾

SOTU is Tuesday. The real state of our union isn’t coming from that podium — it’s coming from us. I’ve been building something called WeAct. 559 people are already taking verified actions together. New SOTU response actions just dropped. 🧵 Here’s what’s live for the State of the Union:
How WeAct works: 1. Browse real actions (call your senator, boycott, organize) 2. Do it 3. Take a photo, video, or write about what you did 4. Reflect & share 5. Recruit others. Repeat. Check it out. Take an action. Recruit a friend. weactnow.com
What a week. We left Big Tech. 500+ people joined WeAct. We’re testing the app, fixing bugs, building community, taking collective action for the common good. What a wild journey during a wild time. Glad to be in it with y’all. weactnow.com
She’s not on @bsky.app (YET) but…yall should know, ain’t no woman like the one I got. ❤️😍❤️
🚨🚨If you need the link again: aclu.org/STOPICEATTACKS. Calling your senators WORKS. Signing petitions WORKS. It’s on us to create change and stop the attacks on citizens by ICE. Enough is enough. Watch “Eyes on ICE: Document and Record” on YouTube. #spreadtheword #iceout
Proof that you’re right. We’ve got keep the pressure and escalate our disruption and demands, but the calls and emails are putting pressure on the powers that be. ❤️
It’s about time for a Mass Call. 🧡💜🐺 Join us this evening to continue to unpack lessons from 2025 & chart the path to 2026 — a year that will define whether we can build the power we need to protect & win real change for working people. TONIGHT—8pm ET RSVP HERE: www.mobilize.us/hearamerica/...

Together, we’ll zero in on the threats of redistricting and to the Voting Rights Act, as well as opportunities in 2026 elections up and down the ballot. And there is plenty of work to do, after the polls close. Hope doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from what we do next — together.
Spent most of today resting, remembering, loving up on and being loved up on by my family today. My grandmother was born on this day in 1927. My mother passed away on this day, one year ago.
