I’m honored to have received the endorsement of @ncstateaflcio.bsky.social, whose members fight every day for fair wages, safe working conditions, & respect for workers. I stand with unions & union members, especially in the face of unprecedented attacks from this presidential administration.

⚠️ICE was confirmed by Siembra NC to have been at the Durham Co. Courthouse this morning. ICE is not welcome in Durham & I support the human rights of all community members who are being unfairly targeted & harmed by law enforcement. Let’s keep working together to keep everyone in our community safe.

👑 I'm proud to support the CROWN Act, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination because of hair texture/protective hairstyles, including braids, locs, twists, or Bantu knots. Let’s continue to Create a Respectful & Open World for Natural Hair!

Happy #Juneteenth! The Juneteenth holiday commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, specifically in the state of Texas. On this day, may we celebrate our freedom, honor the legacies of our ancestors, and continue to advocate for a world where we all have access to liberty and equity.
