On the anniversary of #Charlottesville, join the movement @privtoprog and tell your network that you will NOT BE SILENT! #ShowUp

On April 12, @MichelleSaahene and I sparked a national conversation with the video of two young men being unjustly arrested @starbucks for doing what people who look like me do every day without incident.

That conversation started a movement to build awareness that when allies educate themselves, speak up in their everyday lives and amplify on social media, they choose to be part of the solution.

That movement is From Privilege to Progress. Join us @privtoprog today, on the anniversary of #Charlottesville, and share our pledge.

If you shared the @Starbucks video, you helped bring attention to the problem. Today, bring attention to the solution. Share the pledge in this thread! #ShowUp

Hello all of you wonderful people who are liking my tweet.

Thank you for bringing attention to the movement to #ShowUp against racism.

Now, as I say to my friends, PLEASE RT MY SHIT! Liking is great, but it's not enough. Sharing shows your network that you will not be silent.

Yes, #UniteTheRight2 is a problem.

BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, it is elected officials, corporations and regular citizens who are perpetuating systemic racism in their everyday lives.

Be part of the solution. Educate yourself, speak up, amplify. #ShowUp

Join us @privtoprog

Dear media,

Stop giving that sad little man who organized the #UniteTheRight2 rally any attention at all.

Instead, #ShowUp again racism TODAY AND EVERY DAY.

Join the movement @privtoprog

Stand #UnitedAgainstHate today. Share the @privtoprog pledge.
