1. Learn what suppression looks like in your state.
2. Support orgs that fight it. Don’t “clone Stacey.” There are plenty Stacey’s where you live-and LaToshas, Cliffs and Nse’s too. We need teams-not saviors.
3. Fund HBCUs. They gave you Abrams, Warnock AND Harris. They matter. https://twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/1346689996791685120

On teams:
Stacey Abrams is incredible. And *she’s* constantly reminding us: so are many more. They did this together. @MsLaToshaBrown, @cliff_notes, @StephLYoung and @nseufot are just four more.
Black talent isn’t magic or exceptional. It’s actually EVERYWHERE. Support it.

On HBCUs:
It is a lie of white supremacy that HBCUs aren’t as “good” or don’t “prepare” folks for the real world. It’s always been a lie.
Want to know how I know Black talent is everywhere?! Because HBCUs educate so many Black folks changing your community right now. Fund them
