You want to thank Black women?
Cancel student debt -- all of it.
Black women carry more student debt than any other group in America.
Save your words of appreciation. Policy is our love language.

A researched thread on why police should NOT be in our schools, anywhere in America.
Police in schools harm Black & Brown kids & students with disabilities.

Research not anecdotes.

I drew an Chicago version of this iconic train scene from the Japanese Anime film, "Spirited Away". She's a Black girl on the CTA L going South on the Redline. She reflects on what she's observing→the reality of Capitalism. #spiritedaway #anime
