It’s time to #KeepAdvancing. Let’s make change that lasts: naacp.org/keepadvancing

Imagine asking permission to starve millions of Americans and then be called the leader of the free world… This isn’t political savvy. It’s not complicated or nuanced. It’s right or wrong. It’s good or bad. The world is watching and will remember.

We were honored to join @NAACP @WeAreUnidosUS and @AAIUSA for a professional development panel to discuss how civil rights organizations engage with Capitol Hill for @CBCFInc , @APAICS , and @CHCI interns and fellows.  Thanks to @NatUrbanLeague for hosting!

Hey Congress, We are 37 days into the longest US gov. shut down. Families are struggling w/uncertainty. But here’s what we are absolutely certain of. That after a $4 trillion permanent tax cut for billionaires… If you don’t come back with healthcare extended for millions of Americans. We have a problem. And we will solve it next November.

For 36 days, millions of Americans have faced uncertainty, threats, and hardship. When’s the “GREAT” part start for America? Are we winning yet?? naacp.org/resources/governme…

🗳️ Victory for Democracy! Prop 50 passes in California—a resounding Yes to equity, justice, and protecting Black and Brown representation. While states like Texas try to rig maps and silence communities of color, California voters stood strong and made their voices heard. 💪🏽✊🏾
