I think about MPJ, Sylvia, about Magistrade Ociel, of MLK, of Malcom, of Rosa, of so many who’ve done this before. I know they were scared, but also collective visionaries. It is in times like these that we must allow our hope and courage to be stronger than our fears. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️✨🏳️‍🌈

I am shocked at the number of people talking about how Trump’s executive orders are illegal as if that is a deterrent. I don’t even know how to wrap my mind around this.

Let me saying louder for the people in the back: LATINO IS.M NOT A RACE. Latinos, Latinas, Latinx are ethno-cultural terms used primarily in the United States to group together people of Latin American ancestry REGARDLESS or race and national identities as a racialized minority.
