Today marks a year since the administration began ripping thousands of families away from each other. This is the defining policy failure of the Trump administration. Today we're coming together to say we won’t stop #UntilEveryFamilyIsReunited.

What if all boys were created equal? When I was in middle school, the school called my parents and said an “anonymous source” had told them that I was in the bathroom, smoking weed. I wasn’t — in fact, I’d never even smoked weed. But as one of the only Black kids in the school, I was considered guilty and responsible for proving my own innocence. At that moment, it didn’t matter that I was a good student who had never been in trouble. What mattered was that I was a young Blac...k girl in a predominantly white school, and that Black people are automatically assumed to be criminals. @ava tackles this head on with her new film, @whentheyseeus — a movie based on the story of the Central Park 5. Mark your calendars—the movie premieres on 5/31 only on @netflix. We love you @ava! Thank you for always telling our stories. #ava #netflixmovies #whentheyseeus #whenwilltheyseeus #centralparkfive
