Kalisha and I are praying for the victims of this tragedy. It's incredibly sad that families had to wake up this morning with their lives shattered. Gun violence is ripping apart too many communities and taking far too many lives, especially the lives of young black people. This is a problem we must address together as a community. Everyone has a role to play: parents, government officials, law enforcement, coaches, schools, clergy, businesses, community leaders and organizations, and residents. We must all work collectively to put an end to this, and I will work diligently to provide resources to address both the root causes and those that commit gun crimes.
Dr. Kalisha Figures led an empowering Women for Figures discussion, bringing together inspiring voices to discuss healthcare, reproductive justice, gender policy, education, intersectionality, voter mobilization, and advocacy. These trailblazing women shared insights and strategies for building a future where every woman has a voice and a choice. Together, we're shaping the path forward!

Only rarely are individuals summoned for acts of national rescue, but in July, Vice President @KamalaHarris received one of those calls. With President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign, the world looked to Harris with hopes and doubts. https://t.co/NtOIMM2L1R

ActBlue announces that small-dollar donors have raised over $27.5 million in the first five hours of Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
Just last week his administration awarded Alabama the largest federal grant ever in the history of the state for an infrastructure project that will have transformative economic impacts in Mobile and across the region.
He navigated us through the greatest threat to our Democracy in over 150 years and through the worst pandemic in world history. President Biden delivered for this nation and the state of Alabama.
President Biden gave his entire life to public service. Through the tragic deaths of his wife, his young daughter, and his son Beau, he continued to lead. He gave his all to this nation, and answered the call to restore the soul of America at a time when we needed it most.
Football was the vehicle for Nick Saban to educate, influence, and mentor. He is an economic driver for the State of Alabama and most importantly he ensured his student-athletes were graduates. I have enjoyed every moment. #RollTide
