Important to go beyond the "D" in DEI. Let's talk about what inclusion looks like. What solutions can we bring to Capitol Hill so that staffers advising lawmakers during these critical times, reflect the experience of all Americans. Inclusion=better policymaking.
Women - especially women of color - have to endure hateful language like this all too often.
It shouldn’t happen anywhere & certainly not in Congress.
We can disagree on issues, but it should always be respectful.

@payourinterns is doing important work to help ensure young people from all backgrounds get the experience of seeing the workings of Congress first hand.
An integral first step in healing is accepting responsibility. It wasn’t “brown makeup” it was blackface, w/ all its history and connotations. Not using the word @MarkHerringVA doesn’t minimize your actions.
People on social media are showing support for black female journalists after a series of offensive comments from Trump this week. https://t.co/Xe76S6P15D via @HuffPost
Congratulations @MonicaRamirezDC for receiving #Ingenuity award from @smithsonian for leadership with Alianza @campesinasunite to provide voice to the issues faced by Farmworker women.
Alianza to receive @smithsonian American Ingenuity Award for addressing sexual violence at work, incl. helping spark @TIMESUPNOW w/ our 'Dear Sisters' letter. We are humbled & grateful. Special thanks to @TaranaBurke for moving the world to action w/ #MeToo. Congrats to all!
@megynkelly@TODAYshow dedicated a national platform to question if “blackface“was really wrong. She said “it was OK to do when I was a kid.” Nope! Demeaning race-based caricatures are NEVER Ok. Why does #NBC even think this is a point of discussion?
Is she, @megynkelly really this ignorant to think Black Face is okay at anytime? Too much on too many different levels here to unpack. Black Face for Halloween or anyday, NO!
North Dakota tribes need $100K to get tribal IDs to voters, after ND Republicans attempt to disenfranchise them. Daily Kos is raising the money for the effort, and WOAH within the first few minutes we're already at $34,000! Let's finish strong: https://t.co/8IORrRlDYi
