if anyone has non-light skin and has dyed their hair, please dm!
If you want change you must do something about it. Blocking your racist parents only enables their behavior, and in the end, it's BIPOC who are hurt the most by complacency. I urge ppl like this to teach their parents anti-racism. Put in the work.

As a public school student, I have so much to worry about outside of school. I can't imagine being evaluated for admission based on grades or exams or portfolios right now. @NYCMayor, do you promise to drop all admissions screens for next year? #AskTheMayor @BrianLehrer

This is the NYC I have inherited.
NYPD officers on bikes continue pushing people here including (credentialed) members of the press and @JumaaneWilliams @nycpa

But it's not about taxes. It has never been. It has always been about investing in the next generation, in our community, in those marginalized. nytimes.com/2020/10/31/us/do…

I am a NYC public school student with talents & aspirations that don’t fit into a neat box. I deserve the space, opportunity and resources to try new things and grow as a human without being in constant competition with my peers. I am #MoreThanATestScore. @TeensTakeCharge

feeling 🥰✨unmotivated ✨🥰 to apply to colleges I'm qualified for because there I've only seen white students and white staff. can't wait to be seen as the diversity admit with all the labels i have to put on my application.

I'm 16, and I've loved politics all my life. But I've always thought that being NYC mayor was a thing that femmes of color just didn't do. Seeing @Dianne4NYC and @mayawiley at the #NYCMayoralCandidateForum today makes me think that I can run too.

Same, but I am 16.
Feel like I need a general disclaimer for my account: I am a 17 year old high school senior applying to college in the midst of a pandemic. I am also an organizer and activist. I am by no means perfect. I am doing my best. Please have that in mind when you engage with me on here.

I am so excited at the possibility of NYC Mayor being a progressive women of color. Please, help us make this happen.
Good Morning! It's Oct 1, so we only have 90 days this year to raise $250,000 and qualify for 8:1 Public Matching Funds. In the last reporting period we received support from more people than any other candidate, BY FAR. We are doing this. Join us: actblue.com/donate/dmtw

it's on purpose. America wanted, and still wants, to keep marginalized people marginalized.
the united states has become so out of touch with the rest of the world and so behind in policies and change. its quite embarrassing
