Today is Denim Day, inspired by a 1992 Italian court ruling blaming a victim's attire for rape. Women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans in solidarity, sparking a movement. @PeaceOvrViolnce launched the campaign in 1999, to wear denim to protest these harmful misconceptions!
Chag Pesach Sameach! Our warmest wishes to the Jewish community and those who celebrate for a joyous and meaningful Passover celebration.

I remember the fear, the pain of families who lost loved ones, the smoke rising over the Pentagon. I remember how we came together a week later at the Japanese American Memorial amidst the rising backlash targeting Muslim, Arab, South Asian and Sikh community members.
22 years after that terrible Tuesday, it still seems impossible to absorb & share the sheer magnitude. As the years pass, there seems to be a collective distance between now and then. But we must continue to #Remember911. Below pic is from a peace walk in 2001 @omega_institute 🧵
The organizational landscape shifted after #September11 with groups around the country mobilizing community members. Here's a retrospective from @DesisRisingUp about 20 years of organizing after 9/11: drumnyc.org/9-11-freedom/
I stand with writers and with the Writers Guild of America, my union. The industry is stronger when we stand together to protect our collective community. #WGAStrong 4/4
The stories we tell, the stories I can now watch on any device, are the stories that connect us, engage us, make us laugh and cry together, and inspire understanding and compassion. That is something to be protected and cherished. 3/4
I wrote in the very first year of television, when writers were revered. I now watch talented writers struggle to earn a living wage without the path to a career like mine. 2/4
In my almost 101 years, while I have served other posts, I have been, at my core, a writer. A writer who struggled and anguished to put words to paper that would provoke, create conversation, humanize us, help us see each other -- words that would matter. 1/4
