With talks of a new Trump $250 bill, consider this:
$250 today has the same purchasing power that just $7.44 did in 1913.
That is how much our currency has been devalued since the Federal Reserve was created.
Abolish it and replace it with nothing.
BREAKING: President Trump announces that 9/11 hero Welles Crowther will posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Known as “The Man in the Red Bandana,” Crowther repeatedly ran back into the South Tower on 9/11 to help others escape, saving as many as 18 lives before losing his own.
Allison Crowther said her son’s legacy continues to endure nearly 25 years later: “Welles’ light still shines brightly.”
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the proclamation in Atlanta honoring the work we’ve done saving babies.
Over the course of my lifetime, I am proud to say that more than 100 babies are alive today because someone chose life through the work of Auntie Angie’s House.
When I look back on that number, my heart is full.
But today, I’m also honest about something else.
My work in this space stops here.
This journey has been one of the most heartfelt, exhausting, and difficult battles of my life.
Auntie Angie’s House began in 2023. Our first location was directly across the street from Reverend Raphael Warnock’s church in Atlanta. Not long after we started, that home was burned completely to the ground.
Three months later, we started again.
With nothing but an $18,000 GoFundMe, faith, and determination, we opened our doors again to help mothers who felt like they had nowhere else to turn.
In the beginning, many pro-life Republicans celebrated our work.
They came by the house.
They planted peach trees in our yard.
They promised their support.
But when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Auntie Angie’s House during his presidential campaign, many of those same Republicans withdrew their support.
And that’s when I realized something important.
Saving babies should never have been political.
Helping mothers should never have been a party issue.
It should have been something all Americans could stand behind.
I watched Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sit in our home, hold our babies, listen to the stories of Black mothers, and promise he would help address the Black maternal health crisis. His campaign began speaking about it across the country.
That gave me hope.
So even after many Republicans withdrew their support, I kept going. I believed help was coming.
I waited.
And waited.
But when Bobby was appointed and later told me he could not focus on Black maternal health because the Trump administration had eliminated DEI initiatives, it became clear that the support we were promised would not come.
At the same time, I was fighting another battle.
Many Black women believed I was attacking women’s rights simply because I was helping mothers choose life.
So imagine the position I found myself in.
Republicans withdrew their support.
Democrats rejected the message.
And many in my own community felt I was working against them.
It felt like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Still, we saved 100 babies.
And today those children are alive.
So on this one-year anniversary of our proclamation, I am announcing that I will be closing the doors of Auntie Angie’s House and shifting my focus fully to criminal justice reform.
I pray that the 100 babies we helped save will grow up one day to have children of their own.
And that those children will have children.
And one day we will look back and realize that what we saved wasn’t just 100 babies.
We saved entire bloodlines.
To everyone who supported this mission along the way, thank you.
The fight continues, just on a different front.
From this day forward, my focus returns to criminal justice reform.
