Concerned Citizens

We deserve better.

Yesterday Congress voted to overturn DC law — and this is an incredibly dangerous precedent that threatens all our rights and safety. Tell @POTUS to veto this resolution and advance #DCstatehood now. #HandsOffDC actionnetwork.org/letters/hands-…

Our advocacy got started in the streets of D.C. Time to take it back to our roots. The overreach of Congress has gone on for far too long. Now is the time for us to take a stand. Join us Wednesday as we collectively say #HandsOffDC learn more at hands-off-dc.com

THREAD: One year ago today, LMPD murdered Breonna Taylor. She was a young, Black woman like me, and many of my sisters shared in these photos. Despite Breonna receiving intense press coverage and her name becoming known worldwide, we still don’t have justice. AT ALL.
