Martin Luther King Jr. was labeled radical by the white establishment. The FBI spied on him, trying to take him down.

He still chose nonviolence. Peaceful protest was his power—even when they called him dangerous.

“Radical” doesn’t mean you’re wrong… it means you’re getting close to the truth.

Despite common perceptions, #eviction proceedings rarely result in landlords recovering all rent owed.

We don’t get to cast ballots often.

But the thing about voting with where you spend your money, is you are voting every single time you spend $. And it adds up, to impact. Impact drives change.

Vote/spend accordingly.
