My heart is heavy that civil rights icon, my friend @RepJohnLewis has died. When writing my book #AtMamasKnee we spent intimate time together. A true champion for change, he fought & sacrificed for Black people to have the right to vote. A giant has landed his wings. #JohnLewis

55 years ago today, we were beaten, tear gassed, and trampled by horses. I thought I saw death. I thought I was going to die. I don't know how I made it back, but I know we cannot rest. We cannot become weary. We must keep pushing and pulling and find a way to get in the way. https://t.co/gg6n1CyJls

54 years ago today, we were beaten, tear gassed, trampled by horses, and left bloody on that bridge in Selma. But we cannot rest. We cannot become weary. We must honor those who gave their lives for the right to vote. We must continue to find a way to get in the way. #goodtrouble https://t.co/Utygfx9hzc

Wishing one of my heroes, ❤️ @repjohnlewis ❤️a very a happy birthday! John Lewis has dedicated his life to protecting human rights, securing civil liberties, and building what he calls "The Beloved Community” in America. 79 years young and still getting in #goodtrouble https://t.co/iJJ2yC6Tcg

Stacey Abrams is an Ivy League-educated lawyer. She wants to expand Georgians’ access to health care — not restrict it. We need to elect candidates who reflect the communities they serve. She’s the most qualified candidate in the governor’s race. Period. #TeamAbrams #VoteDem https://t.co/7nsCByb8qj
