As we tune into #SuperBowlLIX, let’s honor Tahj ‘Queen Tahj’ Williams’ historic artwork, celebrating the centuries-old tradition of Black Masking.

Let’s celebrate Black culture while also standing against racism.

Good morning.🌹

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

We are deeply disappointed to see ❌LB698 (Sen. Strommen) introduced in the #NELeg. This bill would harm workers by severely weakening Nebraska’s paid sick leave law – the same law that nearly 75% of Nebraska voters approved just last November.

In August 2023, Gov Pillen signed an executive order narrowly defining ‘women’ and using our identities to discriminate against others. Now, he is prioritizing this discrimination as part of his upcoming policy agenda. We reject any effort to enshrine sex discrimination into law.

Nearly 75% of voters in Nebraska approved paid sick leave! This is an amazing step forward for worker's rights in our state and an important policy that supports caregivers and women in the workplace. 💙💛

[Paid Sick Leave for Nebraskans - Initiative 436 @PaidSickLeaveNE]

Nebraska voters have overwhelmingly passed Initiative 436 to give workers the ability to earn and use paid sick leave. This victory is another step forward in ensuring that every Nebraskan can meet their needs and take care of themselves and their families. 🎉
