Eagerly and enthusiastically awaiting the conversation with President @BarackObama. ♥️

For those who don't eat, sleep, and breathe #SexualHealth and #SexEd, this is what we're aiming for. We don't want "they didn't say no". We're want "they gave eager and enthusiastic consent." That's where the bar should be.

YES!!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Starting with spoken word!!! Artists will save us. #ArtIsPolitical

I'm so happy right now. 💜

"You have the power to make things better." — President @BarackObama #TakeObamaLive

What President @BarackObama says about young people leading the movement is so true. I haven't been in the streets protesting b/c:
1. I've been marching, protesting & putting my body on the line since the 90s.
2. More importantly, I have asthma AND allergies. #COVIDー19

TOTALLY took President @BarackObama's call to participate in change at the local-level. Today, I applied to join @MontgomeryCoMD's new Police Advisory Committee proposed by @hansriemer. (Sent application to @MC_Council_Katz.)

Policing intersects with #SexualHealth in many ways.
☑️ Lovers & family members of police officers experience high rates of #domesticviolence
☑️ Laws disenfranchise #SexWorkers, allowing police to have sex w/ them then arrest
☑️ Cops help combat #HumanTrafficking
... and more

Ooooooh!!! That comment about protests bringing about policy change is soooo true. Artists, activists, and others push society the way we want it to go. Policy change follows. #takeobamalive

📺 Almost Three years ago, I wrote this line in an article for the @HuffPost: "Often, the most candid societal insights arrive on the boob tube under the guise of #popculture fluff."

The arts, humanities & social sciences teach us how to understand the world around us. We NEED them in politics, policing, and #NatSec.

Wow. She said: "Budgets are moral documents." This is so true. #takeobamalive

Yes!!!! THANK YOU for calling about #DomesticViolence / #IntimateParnerViolence during #TakeObamaLive. 💜 #SRHR #HealthyRelationships @MontgomeryCoMD

In Minneapolis, the city council has TWO trans people of color on it?!?! God, I love the Midwest. I'm so #IllinoisProud. 🌽 So happy I grew up there. It's much more diverse than it gets credit for. #takeobamalive

LOVING the conversation about politics AND culture. We need both. Too often we focus exclusively on policy change. #takeobamalive #ObamaWasBetterAtEverything

I really miss having @BarackObama as my president. #takeobamalive

Love it that @BarackObama is talking about data, the importance of collecting and analyzing it. #TakeObamaAlive #ObamaTownHall
