After 50 years, 71% of students and 60% of adults still don't know about Title IX. It has done a lot for some, but there is still so much more to do for BIPOC participation and leadership. Please support DEMAND IX which promotes fairness for everyone. https://t.co/dTxdyCoiA1
Please read this entire thread. I was often called "young boy" or "young man" as a kid because I had short hair and liked to play sports. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR KIDS? This is not about protecting women in sports. This is political legislation with no good outcome.
@ChrissieEvert Chris and Rafa deserve each other - both are class acts - both represent our sport and humanity so well You remind us of times when caring about each other really matter. Thanks for sharing
@GlennonDoyle@JulieFoudy Julie has done so much for women’s soccer and women’s sports through Her advocacy around Title IX, her support for equity - she’s so smart, witty, clever and nobody smiles and laughs like Julie. No wonder everyone loves her.
@PHShriver@espn@ashbarty You know the game, you know their games, you respect the players and you are a class act - we are lucky you are back! Let that confidence come out.
@ChrissieEvert It's important to clarify these records or people will not have an accurate picture of the historical record for the sport - whether it's tennis, basketball, golf, soccer, etc.
Mary Eliza Mahoney was the 1st African American licensed nurse in the U.S.
After graduating in 1878 she became the director of an orphanage for black children. She retired after 40 years & was among the 1st women to register to vote in Boston.

Yes all women are essential workers - don’t forget childcare workers as they are critical for women to get back to work and let’s take this opportunity to get them combat pay so they can make a real living wage, educate our children, keep our economy going
