Since my daughter Heather Heyer’s death two weeks ago I have committed myself to making her death count. That is why I am launching the Heather Heyer Foundation.

It’s going to be an honor for me to be presenting the Best Fight the System award there tonight.
The addition of the ‘Best Fight Against the System’ category was added to the 2017 ‘MTV VMAs’ to continue reflecting the audience’s passion and activism surrounding environmental justice, immigration, LGBTQ equality, and racial justice.
