A great way to support the legacy of a middle/high school friend who cared so much about #equality and #justice -
Your heartfelt requests "How can I support Sam's legacy?" leads us to a collective tribute to Sam Dubal. Fellowships @UCBerkeley and @UW will support students in the spirit of Sam's fierce commitment to equality & justice in life and medical care. gofundme.com/f/sam-dubal-fel…
The world needs people like Sam. A genuinely wonderful human being. We need his safe return. Thank you to everyone helping.
.@WhiteHouse working w/ @MountRainierNPS to re-activate the search for Sam Dubal starting Sunday & hopefully for at least 72 hrs, as requested. Deep gratitude to them, family, colleagues, friends, & >40,000 petitioners. We can't know what's next, but are grateful for this chance

“When we process the idea of being Iranian, we should also be able to envision Blackness and Africanness as being a part of it, because it is” - @PriscilliaK, Founder of the Collective for @BlackIranians

I mourn that we were not able to achieve more during their lifetimes, but am committed to continuing to support movement.
We can translate remembrance into resistance and mourning into movement. Meditating on this today, as I sit with the falling of these two great trees. We can honor them with voices in advocacy, valor in action, and votes in ardency for justice. #JohnLewis #CTVivian

Happy Juneteenth! On this day in 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, our enslaved ancestors actually became free. ow.ly/oW1J50uHVNM #Juneteenth2019
