Hi, my name is Tay Anderson.
I am 21-years-old and I just won my school board election with 67,051 votes.
That’s more than 7 times what
@PeteButtigieg
got in his election as Mayor.
That’s the tea.
We will provide FREE Breakfast and Lunch to ALL KIDS in Denver, ages 1-18! This will begin 3/16 and will last through 4/6.
Breakfast is 8-9 — Lunch is 12-1
Here are the locations:
SW: Lincoln High School
SE: Place Bridge Academy and Joe Shoemaker
NW: North High School (1/2)
We asked white allies to go home and some of them still insisted throwing rocks, bottles, etc. at police.
The police responded with gas and rubber bullets. I am disgusted in how allies ignored our asks to go home and stay peaceful.
He was breaking up a fight between two women and was going back to his car with his three children. The police followed him grabbed him by his shirt and proceeded to shoot him seven times in the back. — HIS NAME IS JACOB BLAKE.

Why does Denver still honor a former KKK leader with a neighborhood?
I am calling on city officials to publicly denounce the name “Stapleton” and urge their neighborhood association to change the name!

Hi
@SenCoryGardner
,
My name is Tay Anderson, I was elected to the Denver School Board four days ago.
I already have a town hall scheduled — I would invite you, but I know you don’t like town halls.
You haven’t had one in 2 years.
Today I was able to join lockdown drills to see the effects on our students.
I was in a sixth grade class and they didn’t know it was a drill, but the siren went off and kids sprung into action. (1/2)
This is a prime example of what I have been talking about. This video shows white folks spray painting “BLM” on a Starbucks.
She said “We ain’t asked y’all to do that. — We are the ones the media will blame.”
These are the names we must never forget.
Denny Strong, 20
Neven Stanisic, 23
Rikki Olds, 25
Tralona Bartkowiak, 49
Suzanne Fountain, 59
Teri Leiker, 51
Eric Talley, 51
Kevin Mahoney, 61
Lynn Murray, 62
Jody Waters, 65

When
@JulianCastro
called out
@JoeBiden
— people called him arrogant.
When I posted facts about
@PeteButtigieg
’s election and mine — people called me arrogant.
Apparently, people of color are not allowed to call out white men.
If y’all thought this move to get St*pleton to change their name was bad ... you’re not ready for my next move on the School Board to implement Black, Latinx, and Indigenous studies as required courses to graduate!
Aurora Police walked out the TERRORIST from the Aurora theater shooting without a scratch, but
#ElijahMcClain
was tortured to death by
@AuroraPD
for wearing a ski mask due to a medical condition. — THIS IS AMERICA 😏
It’s people like Lauren Boebert that remind me why I am on the School Board, so that we no longer fail our students when it comes to science, math, and civics.
@laurenboebert
must resign.
NOT ALL SUPERHEROES WEAR CAPES!
These healthcare providers are using their bodies to send a clear message to the “Operation Gridlock” protestors in Denver!

My address has been shared on right-wing sites along with members of my immediate family.
Due to there being no safety plan from the city and county of Denver, I will be forced to leave our city this weekend for my safety.
I encourage folks to remain vigilant this weekend.
As a member of the largest school district in Colorado & the youngest African American elected official in Colorado history. I am proud to endorse
@BernieSanders
to be the next President of the United States.
#NotMeUS
The response to this attack shouldn’t be more policing in our communities, it should be about fixing the broken gun laws in America.

The neighbors of Stapleton have ONE WEEK to change their name ... if they do NOT we will march through their neighborhood to show them

Today Director Anderson suffered severe chest pains and collapsed at
@Target
.
He is in stable condition and will be receiving further testing.
We want to thank the staff at Target and the EMT’s for their help to ensure he was taken care of.

If I told you that I’ve never thought about resigning and disappearing I would be lying.
This shit is hard and I have wanted to quit, but I remember those that worked their ass off for me to be here and the 93,000 kids I made a commitment to serve.
Send positive vibes y’all.
I was elected 74 days ago.
I was sworn in 45 days ago.
I have held FOUR town halls.
I have visited 38 schools in TWO weeks.
It has been 789 days since
@CoryGardner
has held a town hall in the metro area.
LET THAT SINK IN...
One student after broke down and I took them out in the hall and they told me “I didn’t think I would go home.” I held them as I was on the verge of tears and told them “I will never let anyone come into these schools to hurt you.” (2/2)
When black folks need white folks to turn up on our behalf we will say it.
Until then do not destroy things in our name.
You get to go home while we are gassed, shot at, and blamed for riots we didn’t cause.
Look, when you talk about me make sure you include my correct title. I wasn’t elected to “community organizer, activist, etc.”
I was elected in a three way race with 51% of the vote, 67,213 voters, and won 82% of the precincts in Denver.
My title is Director.
Good morning Lauren Boebert it’s a beautiful day to resign, but since you won’t we want you expelled from the House of Representatives.
Folks help me get
#ExpelBoebert
trending.
It bothers me when I hear folks say they want to follow the constitution as the founding fathers wrote it, because it was those same founding fathers that said I was only 3/5 of a human.
We do not need to give the shooter in Boulder any attention by sharing their name or photo, instead we should wait to hear the facts and wait to find resources to support those impacted.
Lauren, I know you’re not talking about giving keyboards a rest.
How many times a day do you type “Joe Biden?”
Text resign 954-954 to sign on to the petition calling for MTG resignation.
A Virginia high school named for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee will be renamed to honor the late US Rep. John Lewis, effective this fall, the local school board said Thursday
I’ve never met my father in my 21 years living on this earth, but this woman has played both roles.
I’m happy to have been raised by a strong independent black woman.

Today
@DenverPolice
assaulted me, but I want us to remain focus on the reason why we were standing our ground and that is the immoral treatment of our unhoused neighbors.
New - DPS Director
@TayAndersonCO
was taken to a hospital Wednesday after he was injured during a protest in downtown Denver.
Anderson tells me police shoved him to the ground.
DPD says someone "lost their footing" in a scuffle. More to come.
Today myself and others met with Governor Jared Polis.
I asked him to reopen the investigations on the deaths of Elijah McClain, Devon Bailey, and Michael Marshall.
The officers that killed these individuals should NOT be on the force.
A year ago I was sitting around with a group of young people planning the
@AMarch4OurLives
event here in Colorado. Today I am am a candidate for the Denver School Board At-Large. Together we will fight to ensure that every student in Denver is safe in their schools! NOT ONE MORE!
@laurenboebert
Actually the President doesn’t have the power to unilaterally change the constitution.
I would expect a member of Congress to know how the constitution works.
