As someone who has had a front-row seat to true miscarriages of Justice, I do not wish the weight of an often “injustice” system on anyone.
Today’s verdict in the #torylaneztrial is an act of accountability within the bounds of a system that so often fails Black and Brown people
The fight continues!
This #latinxheritagemonth let’s show up for the Latinx children and teens that account for over 18% of all gun related deaths in America.
Safety and Health is a human right.

Two years ago, Angellyh Yambo’s life was tragically taken as she was commuting home from school in The Bronx, NY.
Like so many other children and teens in America, she was caught in the crossfire of a dispute that resulted in her death and the shooting of two other teens.

Two years later, we remember her life and legacy that the @yambofoundation is keeping alive!
This week we joined her family and the @nycmayorsoffice for a Youth Gun Violence Prevention Summit in NYC. With our founder, @Luis_22__ participating in the esteemed panel.

Today, as the sun and moon dance, we unveil our fresh look and refined mission at Youth Over Guns. Our logo, a Bird of Paradise sprouting from a megaphone, speaks volumes about our commitment to amplifying freedom and healing from gun violence.
Get a good look 👀

Multiple things exist. YES she needs to be clearer on her messaging AND while she signed the reparation study bill, it’s weak & still a study bill. We continue to tell the descendants of enslaved that their harm has to be studied, meanwhile the assets from our enslavement could/

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls.
One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails.
Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

Just imagine the impact you can make. Every dollar you give is transformed into two, and your support will further our work and honor the enduring legacy of our extraordinary late founder, Harry Belafonte.
We greatly appreciate your continued support.

Great time last night listening to @MackGrahamNYC & @Luis_22__ discuss Graham's book Neighborhood Hope Dealer, a resource for community empowerment and a police free future.

We're standing by @LegalAidNYC in supporting S.1099 / A.1963 in #Newyork
It is critical to law enforcement investigations and victims of crime that juvenile interrogation not result in false, coerced information
LIVE: #NYPD drives motorcade directly into protesters crossing traffic.
This is a complete abomination and the aggressive tactics consistently being utilized by their “Strategic Response Group”.

Bail reform is working and helping NY families! Tell lawmakers in Albany to protect bail reform and prioritize evidence-based solutions that strengthen communities and advance public safety. #protectbailreform
It’s clear to me that we don’t want our loved ones locked behind bars, by extension we don’t want to see artists who we love and admire at-large under the shackles of a system that has failed so many of us. Regardless, it remains our duty to show up and protect Women and Children
Holding our brothers accountable to stopping the violence, particularly against Black Women should be a no-brainer. There should be ZERO negotiation around whether or not it was okay or reasonable for Tory to shoot Meg.
