Today is considered #WomensEqualityDay ... but what if we didn't need to have a day dedicated to pointing this out.
What if we were just all equal?

⚖️ Equal in pay
⚖️ Equal in labor - physical & emotional
⚖️ Equal in representation
I was honored to speak at Fayetteville’s Naturalization Ceremony today. The promise of America is great. Though sometimes we fail, I know these 33 new Americans will help us do better to live up to it. Now more than ever.
What a beautiful thing to have the privilege to see. 🇺🇸
As #AAPIHeritageMonth comes to a close, we reflect on the hardships faced by our #AAPI communities this past year. We're hopeful for greater understanding towards AAPIs & all the diverse groups that contribute so much to our great nation. #APAHM#EndHate#StopAsianHate#EndRacism
THANK YOU to the @ArkansasHouse for voting NO on #SB485, which would've eliminated Early Voting on the Monday before Election Day (busiest Early Voting day of 2020) & all the organizations who came out today! This proves that our Democracy works when we show up & turn out! 🇺🇲
Essential summary of the horror show: 2021 Arkansas legislative nightmare: lawmakers stick it to their own constituents https://t.co/a4RaFUPSuW via @arktimes
In Arkansas, #EarlyVoting begins 15 days before the election & ends at 5 pm on the Monday before the election. #SB485 would've eliminated Mon. early voting, ending it instead at 4 pm on the Sat. before the election. SB485 finally died after failing 5x. https://t.co/p7pax1TZGc
