We can't show up for what matters most if we don't unplug and recharge. Here are a few ways that I do that.

#MentalHealthMatters #Recharge #Unplug

It's not a zero sum game. We can ALL have affordable housing, groceries, jobs, and good health care. We just have to work together to get to a better future.

It Starts With US.

We don’t have to wait for policy to do what’s right.

Helping the remaining survivors of the #TulsaRaceMassacre doesn’t undo history, but it can make today better than yesterday.

Because this isn't just a Black issue, it's an American issue. It Starts With Me. It Starts With You. It Starts With US.

It's crippling Americans. It's destroying the middle class. It is Wealth Inequality.

We need politicians to stop discussing it and start doing something about it. It Starts With You. It Starts With Me. It Starts With US.

#WealthInequality

There's nothing beautiful about a bill that transfers massive amounts of wealth from the poor to the rich. It's time to stand up and tell our policymakers that this isn't okay.

It Starts With Me. It Starts With You. It Starts With US.

As someone with privilege, I'm telling you I don't need another tax break.

The big beautiful bill is taking benefits away from the lower class to give rich people tax breaks.

We need to speak up and do their part to make the world a more equitable place for everyone. It Starts With US.

We can do better. We The People can be smarter about where we're investing money to make the American dream a reality for more people.

First apartment. Living paycheck to paycheck.

I've been there, and I know that financial instability isn't just about money – it's about stolen focus and stunted potential. And it's a problem we need to fix. It Starts with US.

By providing free education to descendants of victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, Congress could begin to try and make things right.

Rising Mortgage Rates and Recession Fears Stall a Fragile Housing Market Economists predicted that the United States would break free of its long-running housing slump in 2025. But the opposite happened.
