Maybe if you’ll me exactly what I did that you’re upset about, I can respond. I’ve heard some WOC say I didn’t say what they wanted me to say, and I’ve heard many WOC speak of our deep and profound conversations. There is no monolith in any group, but I’m always open to learn.

The only way we will have economic vibrancy in the future is if we take better care of our children today. instagram.com/p/BuoqUz_AmmG/…

First of all, we absolutely should be talking tax hikes for the very richest. We also need to remember that any money that goes into economically improving peoples lives is money that is actually invested in the economy. It’s an economic stimulus.

These community members would so not be “random.” There are scholars and leaders who have been doing profound work on this issue for years.

I understand that. It’s no different then a negotiation over anything else, but I think it’s important that we are getting the conversation to a place where it is being given serious consideration. That is the first step toward creating the political will to do it.

Once again, that is for members of #ADOS to determine. It is reasonable to assume some level of govt. agreement that the plans do support economic and educational renewal, but that is all.

If someone donates even one dollar, that counts as an individual contribution. And I need 65,000 individual contributions in order to make it to the DNC debate stage.

It’s not white America’s role to say how the money is disbursed. That’s why selection of the reparations counsel is so important. The legal stipulation is “projects for economic & educational renewal.” If you owe people $, you don’t get to tell them how to spend it.

Gaza is on the other side of the country from the settlements. These are two completely separate issues.

Many in America either support Israel while minimizing the human rights concerns of Palestinians, or support Palestinians while minimizing legitimate security concerns of Israel. We need a President who deeply appreciates the importance of both. Not either/or, but both/and.

We can question the behavior of Israel without joining forces with those who would destroy it. That is the balance most needed now: to take on the conversation in a way that honors both human rights of Palestinians as well as legitimate security concerns of Israel. Both matter.

Where are their parents? That’s like a question out of “Leave it to Beaver” - like something out of another century. Their parents are in poverty or near-poverty & often in jail. Does that mean these children deserve nothing better for their lives? Are they not full citizens too?

I invite you to look at my website Issues section. I don’t think you will see more specific policy proposals on the site of any other candidate. marianne2020.com/issues
