Happy Mother's Day to the two incredible mothers who have shown the meaning of love. Today I am making donations to two organizations in their honor: @ cut50's #DignityForIncocatedWomen's Campaign, a national initiative to help reduce the prison population while making our communities safer, and @NationalBailout, an incredible organization that works with groups all over the country on Mother's Day to bail out black moms and caregivers, provide supportive services and fellowship opportunities to help end money bail and pretrial detention.
