SD Senate Caucus with members of the SD Education Equity Coalition who were at the Capitol supporting SB 68. The bill was killed on the Senate floor 20-12, although the same bill was passed unanimously last year.

Great thread on SB 90, recognizing hair discrimination as an unfair practice. It will be heard in committee Friday morning. 👇

SB 125, to require masks, heard proponent testimony from several medical and community advocates. There was no opponent testimony. After discussion by the committee, a motion to move the bill to the Senate floor w/o recommendation passed 5-2. Thanks to those who support this!

Our Indigenous children deserve equal education opportunities. The Office of Indian Ed should be under the direction of the Dept of Education, instead of being segregated to the Tribal Relations Dept.

"We are all entitled to peacefully protest."

Let us all remember this tweet from our governor when water protectors peacefully protest the Keystone XL pipeline.

South Dakota is home to the lowest life expectancy, and a number of the poorest communities in the United States.

A great move in the right direction to creating relationships and building trust in the Rapid City community.👌🏽

A vote by Rapid City, South Dakota, leaders is being hailed as a good example of “boarding school justice.” https://t.co/YEnh8UGAst

“If Haaland is tapped by President-elect Joe Biden, her nomination would be historic, making her the first Native American Cabinet secretary, where she would oversee an agency with vast responsibility over tribal issues and public lands.”
