#MutualAid THREAD. Hey everyone - we know that the world is a scary place right now and everything feels so different in such a short span we are all reeling. We wanted to take time to share several funds that are set up to meet the needs of marginalized people around the country #COVID19 Response Fund for sex workers in DC area.

Thread. On Accountability, Not Perfection. When @BlackWomxnFor embarked on a process to endorse a candidate for President of the United States we did so with a mind toward movement building and co-governance. What would it mean to have a President who was accountable to communities most impacted by their policies? What would it look like to not only bring a folding chair like Shirley Chisholm taught us, but to actually shake the table?

The first time our collective (while not officially formed yet - that would come later) met @ewarren was in Philadelphia. During this deep conversation it became clear to all of us present that this was a different kind of candidate. #AllOfUs4Warren @ewarren No topics were off limits. No questions were provided to the campaign ahead of time & no press there to cover the conversation. Just @ewarren ready to listen to what we had to say and to respond to our questions with deep thought & consideration. #AllOfUs4Warren
