Nearly 18 years ago, students from the Guilmette School tragically lost their lives walking on the frozen Merrimack River. Let’s not forget them and let’s remind our children their lives’ lessons.
Please read not only the part of the resolution below, but also the entire resolution. It is exactly what the United States Government should do & be. Keep holding all government officials accountable to the highest standards of equality, justice and decency. #BlackLivesMatter
We are an agency born from the struggle for equality and grounded in the belief that we all deserve equal opportunity. This resolution commits to redouble our efforts to address racism, advance justice, and foster equality of opportunity in the workplace. eeoc.gov/resolution-us-equal…
ALT Be it resolved that -- the EEOC condemns the violence that has claimed the lives of so many Black persons in America & joins in mourning the senseless deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others; expresses our heartfelt sympathy to their families; & commits to redouble our efforts to address institutionalized racism, advance justice, & foster equality of opportunity in the workplace
Today @GovCanHealth published much needed regulations for corded window coverings. U.S. children deserve the same. Immediately.

[Disturbing Content Warning] In the U.S. every 17 minutes someone is injured by a furniture, television, or appliance tip-over. #FurnitureTipOver CR.org/tipover
To be serious about saving children from dangerously unstable furniture we need urgent action on 4 fronts: (1) recalls; (2) proven effective & properly funded anchoring messaging; (3) a strong standard based on real-life dangers to kids; & (4) that is truly federally-enforceable. xitter.cf/cbsnews/status/9767856…
A new report discovered an increasing number of young children are hurt by furniture tipping over. Ahead on @CBSThisMorning, Consumer Reports tested 24 different dressers — why the group says the current industry standard does not do enough to protect kids

Thank you @petulad for showing what is often the sad truth about protecting the health and safety of children. We hear all the time slogans such as “Safety is our top priority.” Is it really? Look at actions instead of empty words to get the true measure tinyurl.com/y8t8m9et
