Schools in Phx, Tucson & rural areas will struggle more to meet student needs. Title I funding ensures access to books, technology, &extracurricular programs. Arizona now ranks 51st, yes you read that right. We rank 51st in the nation for quality education & teacher pay/retention

Happy Birthday, Shirley Chisholm! The first Black woman elected to Congress and to run for president, she broke barriers with courage, vision, and an unwavering fight for justice. Her legacy inspires Black women to claim their space and lead boldly. #WinWithBlackWomen

It's still wild to me that Trump voters said:

Rape is ok.
Racism is ok.
Bigotry is ok.
Pedophilia is ok.
Banning books is ok.
Fascism is ok.
Felony is ok.

Not ok to Trump voters:

Low prescription costs.
Low college tuition.
Homeownership programs.
Business loan programs.
Health insurance access.
Healthcare.
Lower child care costs.
Clean air.
Clean water.
Higher wages.
Chip manufacturing companies.
Infrastructure.
Expanded Veteran benefits.
Research…

Then they get mad when we point out how stupid they are.

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration made a historic announcement, handing down a new rule that would allow Medicare and Medicaid programs to cover life-saving anti-obesity drugs.

"The NAACP will continue to fight for lower medication costs, access to green spaces, food security, and the competent care needed to move our nation forward."

—NAACP Director for the Center for Health Equity, Dr. Chris Pernell

Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is harmful to so many people.

People are breaking down on TikTok because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act.

The heartbreaking part? So many have pre-existing conditions.

One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4

Are Phoenix officers who violently arrested a deaf man under criminal investigation?

"A spokesperson confirmed the case is being reviewed by the Special Investigation Detail (SID)."

@katiegipson What kind of law do you do? Can we add you to our list of lawyers referrals?

[NAACP @NAACP]

For the first time in history, the Senate will have two Black women serving at the same time.

Congratulations to Delaware's @LisaBRochester and Maryland's @AlsobrooksForMD on their #historic wins!

Here's to breaking more barriers. 💪🏽

Arizona Democrats, take note! When you exclude Black and Brown voices in state committee meetings, campaign strategy planning, and leadership roles, this is the outcome. Don’t shift to the right—organize with us in mind to start making meaningful changes.

[NAACP @NAACP]

Dear Black women, we will never stop fighting for you.
