As we gather, take 20 mins to educate yourself. The Indian Child Welfare Act was born out of the kidnapping of indigenous children from their homes after the ethnic cleansing that were residential schools.

I made the mistake of watching some of Velveeta Voldemort’s speech & as a God loving women:
✨ America is still unaffordable
✨ LGBTQ+ folks are not the problem
✨ Guns kill our kids, and prayer in schools is not a solution
Leaders who scapegoat instead of solving crises aren’t leaders at all. 🌈✊🏽
