Donald Trump will become the 47th President of the United States.

America has decided, and now it’s up to you. Where will you stand these next four years?

Are you still in for women’s rights?
Are you still in for social justice?
Are you still in for an economy that works for you?

We are. Today, and everyday. #KeepAdvancing with us https://t.co/vAKkMzfckR

[NAACP @NAACP]

Regardless of who sits in the White House or the State House, the NAACP stands firm in our mission to protect the civil rights and dignity of Black and marginalized communities. Our commitment to social justice and equity is as resolute as ever.

This moment in time calls for resilience and unwavering vigilance. We will not be deterred from our mission.

We have a plan.

Today, we honor the incredible contributions of five Black women who played a vital role in the fight for women's right to vote.

Their courage and dedication paved the way for countless others.

On the anniversary of the #19thAmendment, let’s celebrate their legacy and continue to champion the rights they fought so hard to secure.

34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).

But when in doubt, blame the Black people!

Today has proven what we already knew - we are dealing with a rogue ‘Supreme’ Court that has bowed a knee to an extremist minority.

Now, it’s up to every institution in this country, from colleges to corporations, to embrace diversity, no matter what.

John Roberts, who wrote affirmative action decision, has long history of distorting facts on race

He claimed “things have changed dramatically” in South when gutting Voting Rights Act 10 years ago, then 33 states passed 109 bills making it harder to vote https://t.co/DkhsnKUSKG

"In a society still scarred by the wounds of racial disparities, the Supreme Court has displayed a willful ignorance of our reality." —@DerrickNAACP

Today's decision on affirmative action jeopardizes hard-fought progress for Black Americans.

Our voting rights must be safeguarded. Senators Blunt @RoyBlunt and Hawley @HawleyMO both received F for their inaction on voting rights. Call senators Blunt’s and Hawley’s office today and tell them to take action on voting rights and the filibuster. #civilrightsscorecard

2. Every time there was a little relief, Pharaoh would go right back to his mean, lying & oppressive ways.

3. Rather than deal with the cause of the plague that was made worse by his action, Pharaoh & his admin became worse & was exposed for all to see.

Pre-K Tax Forum
The KCMO NAACP Branch has studied the pros and cons and determined we cannot support Question 1 Pre-K Tax, 1) It is a regressive tax 2) Public tax dollars will be used by private & parochial schools. 3) No accountability, the Board will be appointed not elected
