I am a descendant of free, stolen and enslaved people. I can trace back to the 1600’s my people working, living on and eventually owning land from the territories of the Appomattoc (Westmoreland, Va) and since the 1800’s, working and living on the lands of the Minocan (Nelson Valley, VA) and the Lenape (Cayuga Valley, Ohio). I greet you today from the territories of the Coast Miwok also known as San Rafael, CA.

It is only through and in solidarity that will we transform into a country that values all lives with humanity and respect.
