Starting now! Join us for a conversation between @SIfill_LDF and #Amend co-creator Robe Imbriano! The conversation will look at the impacts of the 14th amendment and constitutional equality. Register here and join us: bit.ly/LDFAmendRegist… 
@Sifill_LDF candidly shares how she was bubbling with enthusiasm while filming #Amend.
“I was so excited that I could sit down and talk about the 14th Amendment—an Amendment that is so central to the idea of America.”

When people protest, they understand the notion of First Amendment rights. Those with guns understand they have Second Amendment Rights. Yet, when we talk about racial discrimination, we do not describe it with the same force, power or constitutional grounding. @Sifill_LDF #Amend
If there is an upside to where we are now, I hope that is is that people want to understand how we got here.
This is the place. The terms of the end of the Civil War, the terms of the second founding. That’s where we have to begin.

Instead of discussing new Amendments, @Sifill_LDF prefers we prioritize the Amendments we have. Those that are under-enforced or not enforced at all. “If we were standing up in the full promise of the 14th Amendment, we would be a long way there—to where this country should be.”
