"Oh my, what a life of service to others. Oh my, he fought his whole life so others could live free." NASW mourns the death of Civil Rights Leader Rep. John Lewis (D-GA). Please read reflections from NASW CEO Angelo McClain: https://t.co/JRwfuAjy76
#DavonMcNeal’s family is laying him to rest today. He was 11 years old. His mom works for violence prevention. It was a Fourth of July celebration — circumstances that should have constituted “right place, right time”. It far too often doesn’t. When do we do something different?
#SandraBland was killed 5 years ago today after a routine traffic stop turned into an unlawful arrest. Her death highlighted the state sanctioned violence many Black women face. As we remember her life we'll cont. our fight to #ProtectBlackWomen & end police violence. #SayHerName
I don’t know who needs to hear this but there’s no cheat code for dismantling and rebuilding a racist system.
Some of y’all want strategies and quick fixes for everything. 🙄
#ElijahMcClain should still be here. Elijah was just 23-year-old when he was murdered by 3 white police officers -- it's been almost a year and we have yet to see the officers charged.
Make a call to AG @pweiser at +1 844-276-7927 to demand #JusticeforElijah.
