Happy MLK Day! Repost from @barackobama using rep

Happy MLK Day! Repost from @barackobama using repost_now_app - If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag, never gave up on the country he called home, despite all of the injustices and indignities it brought upon him.
Instead, he set out to realize his dream the most effective—and the most radical—way he knew how, by working with others to march, boycott, and sit in, recognizing that, as he said, “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
The seeds of his courage, his discipline, his vision, and the resilience of all who joined with him took years to bear fruit. But they gave us the Civil Rights Act. The Voting Rights Act. And an American tradition of nonviolent resistance that has rung through the generations, as we saw this summer when Americans of all races echoed his example in standing up to declare that Black Lives Matter—no more but also no less.
On #MLKDay, we celebrate his life but we’re also called to live out his values through service of our own. Here are some ways you can get involved in your community: bideninaugural.org/day-of-service/
We’re in the middle of a tough chapter for our country, but #MLKDay should serve as a reminder that we have been through tough times before—and emerged from them stronger. But only because we never stopped believing in our democracy. Only because we never stopped working to perfect it. And only because, even in the face of intimidation, discrimination, and unimaginable suffering, we never stopped dreaming of a better day—and never stopped doing the long, hard, essential work of ushering it in.

America will eventually bounce back from all that

America will eventually bounce back from all that is going on at the moment. I am praying for peace. I am also hoping everyone that had anything to do with the Capitol riots are held accountable and prosecuted.

Attention Georgia followers! How are you planning

Attention Georgia followers! How are you planning to vote in the Georgia Senate Runoff Election on January 5th?
I voted early!
History was made in November by turning Georgia blue for the first time since 1992! I’ve already texted 3 of my friends. We talked about their plan to vote, we talked about the importance of this election, and I’m going to follow up with them when they get their ballot to make sure they actually vote.
Challenge! I challenge you to remind 3 friends to vote. Reach out to 3 friends right now and ask them what their voting plan is. Georgia, you’ve already shown the country how powerful our vote is. Let’s make sure our friends bring their power too!
If you plan on voting by mail, it is extremely safe and convenient alternative to in-person voting, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Today is the last day to request an absentee ballot for the January 5 Georgia Senate runoff.
Go to https://ballotrequest.sos.ga.gov/ to request an absentee ballot and to find out more details on voting. Absentee ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day, January 5.

Just another day of spreading love and standing up

Just another day of spreading love and standing up for what I believe in. All lives truly do matter. We only want black lives to be included in the equation. I have done two interviews today and looking forward to one more tonight. I honestly want to be a part of the answer to equality for all. My definition of equality simply means that everyone is given access to the same opportunities and are not denied because of race/religion/income status/gender. Thank you @dreaday and @jesse.bibbs.art for my amazing @godisdope shirt! I am all about supporting black owned businesses! ❤️❤️❤️ #chooselove #choosekindness #bekind #bekindalways #bekindtoothers #choosetoinclude #justice #endracism #endracismnow #diversity #diversityandinclusion #diversitymatters #diversityisbeautiful #diversityandinclusion #diversitymatters #weshallovercome #atlantainfluencer #atlantablogger #atlantabloggers #socialjustice #socialjusticewarrior #socialjusticeactivist
