Keep your commitment to self-care & ending systems of oppression.

It will be 75 days before our new President-elect and Vice President-elect are sworn into office. 2020 has been filled with times of crisis and uncertainty, which has led to many of us doom-scrolling, feeling stressed, anxious, and tired. We have been living through a once-in-a-century pandemic, lockdown, weakened economy, and tirelessly calling for America to get serious about preventing Black deaths at the hands of law enforcement.
