Now is a good time to read DO THE WORK by @megpillow.bsky.social & @roxanegay.bsky.social. It’s a great resource & workbook on power & how we can wield it to make change. It’s very accessible. It would be a great tool for high school & college students.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.
I'm trying to save them.

Kiah was set to join our faculty at Howard Law School in the Fall. She was a dedicated, brilliant civil rights lawyer poised to make a powerful difference in our world.
