Just got my tickets. Can’t wait.

Trump has told people to depend on him to solve the affordability crisis; meanwhile, we are spending billions of dollars per day on President Trump’s war of choice against Iran.

I stood on that debate stage twenty two years ago not because it was easy, but because it was necessary. I raised my voice for those locked out, left out, and pushed aside, and I told this nation then what I am still telling it now. We cannot claim progress while people are still struggling for basic justice. We cannot celebrate freedom while too many are still fighting to be treated fairly. That is why this moment matters. That is why we gather April 8 through April 11, 2026, at the National Action Network Convention, marking 35 years of the pursuit of justice. This is not just a celebration. This is a call to action. A reminder that the struggle continues and the responsibility is ours. We are still here. We are still standing. And we are still demanding what is right. No justice, no peace. - Video Credit: @cnn

Self care is not separate from the work. It is part of the work. If we are going to stay grounded in love, committed to nonviolence, and faithful to the work of creating the Beloved Community, we must also care for ourselves with intention.

The Orion spacecraft successfully separated from the upper stage of the rocket, and the "proximity operations" test is underway. The Artemis II astronauts are manually piloting Orion similarly to how they would if they were docking with another spacecraft.

Remembering my friend, the late great Marvin Gaye on what would’ve been his 87th birthday today. Grateful for the memories. Forever missed. Gone too soon. 🙏🏾🕊️
