Amazing scene where close to 200 #impactedfamilies hold up pictures of family murdered by police near Washington monument. Sadly, almost no mainstream media here today. #MarchOnWashington

@ODonnellUpdate give AB740 a hearing! Too many Black children in foster care are being suspended without any support. The suspension rate for Black foster children is 21.8%, while the statewide average for all students is only 3.5%. #Blacklivesmatter #blackmindsmatter

Ernie Serrano was murdered by Riverside Sheriff's deputies on Dec. 15th. The police's version of the story and the video are very, very different. Police are not meant to be executioners. #JusticeforErnieSerrano

To stay present in everyday life, it helps to be deeply rooted within yourself; otherwise, the mind, which has incredible momentum, will drag you along like a wild river.
