🧡 It's National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Women in the US are 28x more likely to be killed by guns than women in other high-income countries. TODAY, I #WearOrange to honor the victims & survivors of gun violence + bring attention to this uniquely American crisis.

Keep calling. Make sure Republicans are hearing from you, too. 202-224-3121 For those asking — calls are better than emails. Ringing phones have to be answered. Calls from constituents get logged in a database. A high volume of calls sends a message.

Gisèle Pelicot has become a global image. A symbol of her own horrific experience, and that of every sexual assault survivor who has felt helpless, lied to & abused by perpetrators and the system. In a statement “I say it's not bravery, it is will and determination to change society.” #GiselePelicot

Some of her best known collections include: Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea, Black Feeling, Black Talk/Black Judgement, and The Collected Poetry of #NikkiGiovanni. Her latest work Make Me Rain: Poems & Prose. May her words forever be echoed in our hearts.

She was an adored voice to a new generation — an enthusiastic elder to us all — at home in her body and in the world of her lifetime even while she sees and delights in the beyond of it. #NikkiGiovanni

In an era when Black women were often silenced, #NikkiGiovanni, wrote in boldface font. Through the 1960s, she was a poet of the Black Arts Movement that nourished civil rights. A professor at Virginia Tech, she brought beauty and courage after the 2007 shooting there.
