In Richmond yesterday after being interviewed to record the history of how I started the #maternalhealth PUSH Coalition in 2019 while at the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy.

The coalition is growing as the work continues.

Humbling moments at yesterday's #maternalhealth bill signing, when folks put a face to my name as the force behind the 2020-2021 legislative push to provide prenatal care access to undocumented women in Va. It remains the greatest policy work in my career. (2/3)

The fire started in the attic. Then burned the Nottoway house to the ground.

Under investigation. The owner has vowed to rebuild.

Cherishing legacies of brutality and inhumanity will no longer stand. A lesson American imperialists refuse to accept, generation to generation
