Today, we are honoring David Whitehead, Cleveland Metroparks former Board of Park Commissioner. Whitehead served on the board from 1994 to 2011. His six terms make him the third-longest-serving commissioner in Cleveland Metroparks history! #TBT #BlackHistoryMonth

"If you've been convicted of a hate crime, you probably shouldn't own a weapon.”

We stand with @BattleBornProg: it’s time for Nevada lawmakers to take a stand against extremism and disarm hate. #nvleg https://t.co/sq1jVQPINi

Ever notice how we suddenly “can’t afford” things as soon as actual human beings are in need?

One of Texas’ first Black lawyers asked to ‘give us a white man’s chance.’ Few remember John Johnson https://t.co/e44NN26opu

White supremacist groups are looking for new ways to galvanize the far right.

One of the most successful recruiting messages? Stoking unfounded fears of gun regulation.

BREAKING: We just wrapped up a meeting with @WhiteHouse officials and other gun safety advocates to discuss policies to make our communities safer from gun violence.

We know that @POTUS is committed to taking action—today’s meeting reaffirmed that. https://t.co/MzeSVdf7ny

@PenalozaJoan @juliesauls901 @MelissaForPA I’m a database manager for a ticket system and it STILL, TO THIS DAY, defaults couples’ names to the format “Mr. and Mrs. Husband’s Name.”

I edit it manually in every account I open.

@juliesauls901 @MelissaForPA Hi! Me too! My husband drained our bank account and I was having my paychecks direct deposited there. They wouldn’t let me close it. We were divorced and the bank even let him cash a check with both our names on it. There was no signature for me.

[Joan Penaloza ☮️ 🟧 @PenalozaJoan]

@MelissaForPA When I married in 1994, my husband had bad credit so I opened up my own bank account. When he cleaned up his credit, I added him onto my account. The bank made him the primary account holder. I called, and my bank said that because he was “the husband,” he would be primary. 1994!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Let’s get that next box up there for equal pay soon!!! #PassERA #BlackGirlMagic #Equality

[Melissa Shusterman @MelissaForPA]

Putting Kamala Harris as VP into perspective.See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved.See the blue box? Until then, she couldn’t vote. Yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school.
The green one? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account

#Childmarriage is a gross human rights violation that affects girls from every part of the world. It reduces their education prospects and deprives them of their future. It is important to work with communities to shift social norms on child marriage. #EndChildMarriage

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As Black Americans continue to suffer disproportionately from gun violence, we are committed to fulfilling his vision for justice and racial equity by ensuring that safety and dignity are rights, not privileges.

Early this morning, Congress certified the hard-won and lawful results of a historic election:

@JoeBiden will be the President of the United States.

Democracy doesn’t stop for white supremacist insurrectionists. We move ahead.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We are still in the middle of a pandemic: mask up, wash your hands, and maintain social distancing.

[National Congress of Black Women Greater Cleveland @NCBWGCC]

Great first step. Where are the resources to move out on the recommendations? ⁦@OHIO_Ambassador ��@PamGrayMason⁩ #Data #Transparency #Accountability https://t.co/SLa1lYf2II
