This means our letters are working. Let's keep the momentum going.

Please make sure your rep is listed -- if not please send out letters to them ASAP. Also, sentd letters to CBC and The NAACP. They need to be the main ones on this.

Thank you! Make sure you print one out and mail for every member of your family. Aunts, Uncles, Parents -- and have them sign at the bottom. Then mail it off.

They need to be bombarded.

And props to our Jamaican allies -- as Mrs. Lee is the daughter of Jamaican immigrants -- "JDOS."

I pray this will help y''all get y'all reparations from those who enslaved your ancestors.

Thank you for your support!

I think we should first focus on all the members of the CBC that are not on the list and hit them up on twitter. Can someone quickly cross-reference so we can get a hashtag going? something like #CBCHR40 @repjohnlewis etc etc. DM Yvette or Tone on this and get Tariq to retweet and we'll get this viral.

The CBC is supposed to represent us so they need to be put on notice.
