Happy Birthday Angela Davis. Thank you for leading this movement with such grace and wisdom. I’ll never forget sharing space with you at the #WomensMarch or your insightful words. “At a challenging moment in our history, let us remind ourselves that we the hundreds of thousands, the millions of women, trans-people, men and youth who are here at the Women’s March, we represent the powerful forces of change that are determined to prevent the dying cultures of racism, hetero-patriarchy from rising again.
