When I heard about the death of Sandra Bland it began to hit me that nothing has really changed.
When I heard the wonderful woman whose voice had gone horse from screaming for her brothers and sisters who were no longer with us at Netroots Nation I realized not a fucking thing has changed and I felt ashamed.
This protest was not about Martin O'Malley or Bernie Sanders. It was about our brothers & sisters who have endured more than I would ever want to imagine.
Bernie cares deeply about what is happening and I know he'll be doing the best he can to get things started. With people coming together things will and must change.
Peace out....
