Our religious beliefs may differ, yet we share a common humanity. I mourn the loss of Pope Francis as a great humanitarian. I was honored that Pope Francis delivered the keynote for my final WFP Executive Board meeting.

An elected hardworking Biden Delegate, a hunger warrior, a mother, a gigi and an American who believes in putting in the work to protect our democracy I look forward to proudly joining Team Kamala.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

[@ertharin @Ertharin1]

@JoeBiden deserves a place on Mt. Rushmore because he accomplished more in one term that most two term Presidents manage over eight years. Looking forward to the next six months! GO JOE!

[@ertharin @Ertharin1]

I agree!

Black History 365 shines a light every day on past wrongs to avoid present-day amnesia.

[Jerry Mitchell @JMitchellNews]

#OnThisDay in 1967, Wharlest Jackson Sr., a Korean War veteran and treasurer of the NAACP branch in Natchez, Mississippi, became a Ku Klux Klan target after he was promoted to a whites-only position at his job in Natchez.

It was a promotion his wife, Exerlena Jackson, wanted him to turn down because of what had happened two years earlier to their friend, George Metcalfe, who received a similar promotion — only to be injured by a bomb when he started his 1955 Chevrolet. The Jackson family helped nurse Metcalfe back to health.

Wharlest Jackson had just finished his shift at the Armstrong Rubber and Tire Co. and was heading home. Four blocks later, the turn signal tripped the wire to a bomb that Klansmen had planted in his truck. The explosion killed him instantly, hurling the roof of his truck hundreds of feet.

His 8-year-old son, Wharlest Jr., ran to the scene and returned home with his father’s shoe.

“He was 36 and in the prime of his life,” recalled his son. “He had the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and they took that away.”

Despite an FBI investigation, his killers were never prosecuted.

“A lot of people have tried to push my daddy’s death under the rug,” his son said. “We’re still trying to pull it out into the light.”

Wharlest Jackson Sr. is among 40 martyrs listed on the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama.

As the grandmother of a bright, intelligent 15 year old black male, who simply "fits the description" I worry all the time! I pray for our children and I advocate for better control now! #GunControl

#RalphYarl accidentally rang the door of the wrong house while trying to pick up his siblings. For this, a man shot him in the head. Then shot him a 2nd time as he was on the ground. The man is free and the 16-year-old is fighting for his life in the hospital. This can’t be it.

@JohnKasich Unfortunately not even a remote possibility in our sadly polarized nation.

@Ertharin1 shares a powerful takeaway at #GrowCanada22 -as innovations in Ag inform how to produce more nutritious food in sustainable ways we must ensure these tools/technologies are available for all farmers around the world with “no one left behind” motto.

@cop27 I fear the negotiators lack the sense of urgency required to avoid the suffering of an escalating climate driven hunger crisis.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Time to start paying attention.

The climate crisis IS a hunger crisis.
