The education of Black girls is often disrupted by discriminatory, overly punitive discipline policies that push them out of school. @TheJusticeDept & @BetsyDevosEd: you must intervene. cc: @RepRashida, @RepDebbieDingell, @RepLawrence, @RepAndyLevin, @RepHaleyStevens QT @propublica: Over a Zoom court hearing, a judge in Michigan sentenced a Black 15-year-old to juvenile detention.

We must continue fighting for: - rent & mortgage cancellation - a nationwide moratorium on evictions - a $100 billion rental assistance fund This bill supplements our bold demands, providing additional protections for families facing eviction. It’s not or, it’s AND.

For 43 years, the Hyde Amendment has restricted access to abortion care and perpetuated inequity & injustice. @RepBarbaraLee, @RepSchakowsky, @RepAOC and I just filed an amendment to repeal it once once and for all. #BeBoldEndHyde https://t.co/UNEHiZsBrR
Essential workers shouldn't have to fight for basic protections They deserve: - employer provided PPE - hazard pay & a livable wage - child care - paid sick & family leave - free health care - whistleblower protections & so much more. Corporations must be held accountable.
We cannot ignore the Black unemployment crisis any longer. The federal government must take intentional action to lower Black unemployment, and that starts with a federal jobs guarantee. https://t.co/t0AfOAcLTy

These abuductions of protesters by a secret police force in unmarked vans is chilling. The Trump Administration is a threat to our democracy.

This administration cannot politicize their way out of a pandemic.

@YawuMiller Egregious that our community is still dealing with this. Glad you’re ok, and we’ve got your back.
A year ago we filed a bill to abolish the death penalty. Last night’s Supreme Court decision and overnight execution have made it horrificly clear that we need to bring my bill to the House floor for a vote immediately.

We're finally getting data on who received PPP loans, but we need to be talking about who didn't receive PPP funding. Far too many of our smallest businesses like our barbershops, beauty salons, and bodegas were left behind by PPP from the start. https://t.co/j4eSpJOTTR
I wish we knew his name simply because we were celebrating what he meant to his students, his daughter, his family. He was a community builder. And we were robbed of his life. Let us define him by how he lived. A letter from one of his students: https://t.co/YNbZfn2lWZ
4 years ago today, Philando Castile was murdered by police in front of his family. He had been stopped by police 50 times in 13 years. His murders have never been held accountable.

@ados_strong @TheWokePost @ADOS_Cleveland Did you miss my floor statement yesterday, "Pay us what you owe us." As for this clip, when our communities have been looted & over policed via divestment, to reallocate police funds is a *form* of reparations, to me. While, I also fully support reparations for Black Americans.
