1/ To me, August 12, will always be a day to honor the brave Americans who stood up against white supremacist attacks in Charlottesville back in 2017. Those who literally fought to defend our commitment to America's promises and the process of becoming a more perfect Union. #A12
2/ I think of Heather Heyer, who lost her life on A12. I think of her mother, Susan Bro, who said: ‘I want you to pay attention, find what's wrong. Don't ignore it, don't look the other way. You make a point to look at it, and say to yourself, what can I do to make a difference?’
3/ Today—& every day—let's put in the work to honor those words. We must support those in Charlottesville still fighting for justice, for equity, & for opportunity. ⬇️ Below are 7 incredible organizations whose work I deeply admire. They each deserve/need our ongoing support...
