Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.
Half of the world's school kids get their primary meal at school.
Those meals are as critical as ever since more parents have lost income during the pandemic. Team #GiveEmHealthRachel is asking @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer to invest in our kids by funding school meals today.

So #MeghanMarkle has been accused of lying about being suicidal and #saraheverand was murdered, by a police officer, for being a woman walking home late at night, all in the last two days since international woman’s day, do you see the problem?

Remember when most men believed day care was bad for kids so moms should stay home. Now the US Fed/central bank wants women to work because that's good for econ growth! nytimes.com/2021/02/24/busin…

We are glad to see the U.S. return to @WHO. COVID has proven that when it comes to the world’s health, what happens globally can impact all of us locally. There’s no ending the pandemic without global cooperation & no organization better equipped to advance that effort than WHO.

To be Black in America is to walk in the valley of the shadow of pain and death. The fact that Black people still manage to carry on and create and find joy and love in the valley is nothing short of a miracle.
And right now, our love of #BreonnaTaylor is filling us with rage.

When Rosa Parks was arrested for failing to give her seat to a white man, black people stopped taking the bus, and carpooled or walked to their destinations for 381 days! Most bus companies collapsed and government had to step in. What are YOU willing to give up to affect change?

I gotta be honest the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..
