No matter where you are today, you can join our movement for change by watching our livestream. Together, we’ll move mountains. Let's take a stand together: bookerforkentucky.com/join #IStand4KY
If you have a little bit of faith, the size of a mustard seed, you can speak to the mountain, and it has to move. Some people see Mitch McConnell as a mountain. Well, that mountain has to move. Join us: bookerforkentucky.com/join. #IStand4KY Image
You only live by listening to folks. By seeing them. By hearing them. By elevating their voices. By letting Kentuckians lead. #IStand4KY
Thanks for speaking truth to power today, @quintez_brown! Fired-up leaders like you are powering this movement: bookerforkentucky.com/join.
Too often decisions are made at us. Decisions are made without us. So we're going to start having honest listening events. We'll make this decision as a Commonwealth. Let's stand together at bookerforkentucky.com/join. #IStand4KY

Coming from what has been one of the most disenfranchised states in the country, I personally know how critical it is that we fight voter suppression and break down barriers to the ballot box. (1/4)
So I’m proud to partner with @WeAreMarchOn in their efforts to fight back against voter suppression with their Voter Protection Corps:
wearemarchon.org/voter-protecti… (2/4)
As a part of the Corps, you’ll protect voters in a fight for individual rights, collective rights and the future of democracy. And we need your passion to carry us through the most tumultuous election of our lifetimes. (3/4)

Good morning, good people.

I want to share something with you. (A thread)
I see what this moment means. From the hood to the holler, we spoke up, cried out, and fought like never before.

We didn’t win the race, but we won something much bigger. We inspired new voices to rise up, and led on structural issues that can’t be ignored.

They see us now.
We are sick of generational poverty. We are sick of structural racism, and a status quo that is killing us.

Our common enemy is Mitch. We must beat him, so we can do the real work. I understand that, and am reaching out to @AmyMcGrathKY to discuss how we can truly work together.

I stand today, because of the trailblazers like @GeraldNeal33 and @ReggieThomasKY who helped make it possible.

Kentucky only has two Black Senators. They both are endorsing me.

I am honored to carry the torch, and I am ready to lead in Washington. (1/4)
In his endorsement, Senator @GeraldNeal33 said, "...The protests and police violence have shown that KY is in need of a new Senator who understands our community and will fight for all Kentuckians... He is the right person, at the right time to defeat Mitch McConnell..." (2/4) Image
Senator @ReggieThomasKY said, "...I believe Charles is well equipped to bring Kentuckians together and to carry our Commonwealth forward. On behalf of Fayette County and our entire Commonwealth, I strongly give my support to Charles Booker." (3/4) Image

I am about to participate in @KyTonightKET's U.S. Senate candidate forum. My team will be tweeting some updates for the next hour.

You can follow along here and stream it online at ket.org/live/. #KYTonight
Rep. Booker opens up the show making plain that he is running to combat structural racism and inequity.

"I'm running for U.S. Senate to beat Mitch McConnell because we need real change...not just tweets..." #KYTonight
In a question about structural racism, Rep. Booker doesn't equivocate:

"The officers that killed Breonna Taylor should be fired..." #KYTonight
