I’m usually light hearted in these threads. Times are hard so asking for $ is awful. I like to make it fun. But my Campaign Manager surprised me with this video! Didn’t know she was doing it. Moved to tears because being THIS real is so brave. bit.ly/3pN2xxV (1/5)

@MayaRupert knows what she is talking about. She was a top aide to Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s prez campaign & Julian Castro’s Campaign Manager before that. Warren made the “gender trap” plain. We pay a price just by naming it! bit.ly/3oiF5bx (2/5)

And I am a Black woman, running to be Mayor in the nation’s largest city, that has never elected a woman, let alone a Black woman. And I will be held to a higher standard. That includes my fundraising. bit.ly/3pN2xxV (3/5)

When I release my fundraising $ to the public, they will be picked over with an attn I will NOT shy away from. I accept the challenge of the higher standard. I accept the awesome responsibility of trying to step in the footprints left by Shirley Chisolm! (4/5)

And I am proud to shout from the rooftops “We built the damn table so the chairs are ours too!”Pulling up chairs for all of us! Help us get the chairs and show the naysayers we will fill them!: bit.ly/3oftnhO (5/5)
