There are certain things I will not compromise on when it comes to cancer. These are the non-negotiables. This is my manifesto of defiant hope and this is the language of refusal, resolve, and inner steel. Here's a small sample of my 300 Cancer Non-Negotiables:…
Baltimore has been investing youth programming, including late night programs, summer camps, teen jobs, sports, after school programs, etc. Homicides in the city are down 40%, with steep drops in robberies, carjackings, and shootings. This should be talked about more.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check. That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year. If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.
