Today, A young brown man committed suicide on Cap Today, 
A young brown man committed suicide on Capitol Hill and he killed a Capitol police officer in the process. They say he lost hope. 

He lost hope on Good Friday. 

He lost hope as 43 states push through legislation that rolls back the clock to 1964—BEFORE the Voting Rights Act. 

We don’t know all that went through his mind before placing his brown body before police officers with a knife. All we know is this: He lost hope. 

As we walk through the most holy time of the Christian year, let us consider together WHY it is so holy—and why what Georgia and Texas and 42 other states are doing is waging war against God in the middle of #holyweek.

Re-do without vital info. 👍🏾 The @blackdoct Re-do without vital info. 👍🏾

The @blackdoctorscovid19consortium was started by @dralastanford who went door to door giving Covid tests to residents in Philly’s hardest hit communities. When vaccines became available, Dr. Stanford organized doctors across the city to vaccinate residents of the most vulnerable areas. My community is one of them. They have already vaccinated more than 30,000 residents in Philly’s most vulnerable communities. So, today I rose early and made my way to The @liacourascenter at @templeuniv (10 mins from my home in South Philly). I showed proof of residency and walked right in to the #Moderna 1st Dose line—and sat comfortably while I waited. It was a very short wait before I was brought to the table where They took my insurance info and asked if I had allergies. Because I do, I have to be observed for 30 mins, instead of 15. 

When I sat down in the chair to get my shot, the tears came and I couldn’t hold them back. Overwhelmed with emotion, I told the nurse, Katrina: “We’ve been dealing with this for a year, so we forget how much anxiety our bodies have absorbed. Now, it’s coming out.”

“I understand,” she said. “You’re not the only one who has cried.”

“Thank you,” I told her. 

The actual shot was literally nothing. Not even a pinch. I was like, “That’s it?” The nurse said, “Yup.” 

Thank you Dr. Stanford and to all the members of the consortium and every volunteer. You are literally heroes. You are saving Black and Brown communities. #blessyou
