Friends, I am sitting here is tears. I was on Zoom calls from 9am-9pm ET today. So when I scrolled through my emails I was shocked to see the NYTimes email alert, sent early this morning that Rev. #CTVivian passed away this morning at 95 years old. 1/

Rev. Vivian was one of the giants of the Civil Rights Movement. Taught non-violence by Rev. James Lawson, Rev. Vivian helped organize the 1960 Nashville Sit-Ins. He eventually became the national director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference affiliates. #RIPCTVivian 2/
I was blessed beyond my own understanding to be introduced to him the first time as a staff-worker in Christian ministry. He led our organization through profound anti-racism training. The old white men just about list their minds—and Rev. Vivian was 100% right. #CTVivian 3/
Next #FreedomRoadPodcast episode, recorded in collaboration with @PantsuitPolitic! Listen in on both platforms #tomorrow as Lisa, Beth and Sarah talk COVID-19, sci-fi movies canaries in mines and one hard question: What will alliance w/ WOC require of White women in 2020? 
NOTE: #COVID-19 stats by race were released last week. The stats make three things clear: 1) Media reporting has been white-centered 2) The impact of COVID is racialized and 3) response to COVID is being politicized. #WisconsinPrimary #HealthDisparities Imprisoned w/ Coronavirus.
To understand what’s happening in Wisconsin, check out this fabulous thread by @PantsuitPolitic:
Poverty is the core driver of #Abortion. We MUST hold politicians accountable when they say they are “pro-life” with one side of their tongues then advocate tax cuts for billionaires and cuts to Medicaid and Food Stamps and public education with the other. #freedomroadpodcast
When the GOP cut taxes for the uber-rich in 2017, they promised to pay for those cuts by cutting programs that help the poor. They followed through in 2019 with cuts to Food Stamps and continued cuts to Medicaid and the attempted annihilation of women’s health clinics. 2/
The normal impact of that legislation would have been a rise in abortion rates; as it was in 1980s with impact of Reaganomics and the impact of Bush 43 cuts to anti-poverty programs. 3/
