New York allows parents/guardians to marry off their children. We must end the practice of marrying children under the age of 18 in the state of NY. #NewYork Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo to #BanChildMarriage! Call up bill S.3086 & sign it! #NailasLaw act.weareultraviolet.org/sign/child_mar…

When Naila married at 13, she got out with her own willpower. Today she advocates to end child marriage in the US and globally. #nailaslaw @nailaaminfoundation .

We just stood alongside Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz as she signed the bill to make the marriage age in #Connecticut #18NoExceptions!! #CT is now the NINTH U.S. state where we have helped to #EndChildMarriage -- a stunning victory for the nearly 6.5mil girls who live in those states! #9Down41ToGo

Thank YOU, Jillian Gilchrest, for championing this legislation and making this happen. You are a hero to girls -- and all children -- in #Connecticut! #EndChildMarriageCT #18NoExceptions #9Down41ToGo

#DidYouKnow #ChildMarriage creates a nightmarish legal trap? Minors face overwhelming barriers if they try to escape a #ForcedMarriage. Marriage before 18 is recognized as a #HumanRights abuse that destroys almost every aspect of an American girl’s life: bit.ly/2G1dVFh

At the age of 15, Sara was forced to marry a man nearly twice her age, whom she had just met that morning. Read Sara's story: bit.ly/3Yn4ROo #SurvivorStory #SurvivorStories #ListenToSurvivors #ChildMarriageSurvivor #ForcedMarriageSurvivor #ForcedMarriage #ChildMarriage

California and Mississippi do not have a minimum age to marry. Frustrated with the rhetoric that by raising the min age to marry, it’s risk minors losing access to family planning. This is not true, this hasn’t come up in any state that has raised the age to 18.

Remember, your story won’t be for everyone, & that’s OK. Like other forms of art, writing is subjective. What one person finds moving & inspirational may not resonate w/ someone else. Your audience is out there. You will find them! #writingcommunity

I love seeing people shouting out their books, and congrats if you are getting agent attention on twitter. But fwiw, it's also ok if agents aren't sliding into your DMs. I have a pretty sizable platform for an unpubbed author, and no agents ever slid into my DMs.

On the 16th December 1985 an angel was born. Happy what would have been your 38th Birthday today. I just know you would have aged so gracefully, your memory fills me with so much love on this special day of remembering you. ♥️

Spoiler alert this happens in the US too.

THREE states -- Vermont, Connecticut and Michigan -- ended #ChildMarriage in 2023! That's progress worth celebrating.
