There are so many #KELSEYFORLILA hashtags! People think there aren’t a lot of intersectional people. No, we just aren’t represented how we deserve to be. Let’s start a chain. Reply to this tweet with #KELSEYFORLILA if you are or stand by the #Disabled/#BIPOC/#LGBTQIA community.

#Disabled characters are rarely played by Disabled actors. Watch this short film created by a diverse group of actors& artists to draw attention to the need for more diversity in film. Bonus- based on one of my fav book series by @veschwab #KelseyForLila youtu.be/TbeY-WIrHfs

We must treat food as a national security issue with a 360 degree approach to purchasing & distribution so farmers don’t throw away produce as food banks are empty and people go hungry! Nonprofits like @WCKitchen & private sector have a big role to play, but fed gov’t must LEAD!!

Measures to combat the spread of #COVID19 have led to a rise in discriminatory immigration practices. @Refugees stresses the need to respect human rights and refugee protection standards amid the #coronavirus crisis. bit.ly/2ztWpFV

I received this letter from a farmer in northeast Kansas. His wife is ill and he is aging. He sent me 1 of 5 N95 masks he has from farming to pass on to a doctor or nurse in New York. This is humanity at its best. I share his letter as inspiration.
