On this day in 1963, local merchants in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, began enforcing an ordinance that denied service to all members of the U.S. military, regardless of their race, to protest integration.

The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the State is barred from reimposing a death sentence on Marcus Robinson because his original death sentence was the result of racial bias. https://t.co/rwQNDa1fSL

"We need non-police responses to housing policy that create affordable housing & keep long-term residents in their homes. Cities should move funding away from police & toward housing, community development, & poverty alleviation." #DefundPolice

Last week a federal judge called for qualified immunity reform. "Just as the Supreme Court swept away the mistaken doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ so too should it eliminate the doctrine of qualified immunity." Judge Carlton Reeves wrote. https://t.co/CslTyfOihS

This week marks 5 months since Breonna Taylor was murdered by Louisville police. Louisville police have a larger budget today than when they shot her.

It's been 150 days since #BreonnaTaylor was shot and killed in her Louisville apartment.

We will not forget. 🕊

The Louisiana Supreme Court refused to review the life sentence imposed on a man for attempted theft of hedge clippers. The court's only Black justice dissented and identified this as a harsh legacy of racially-biased punishment. https://t.co/zMGbwqFMTC

We won't stop saying #BreonnaTaylor's name until they arrest Brett Hankinson, Johnathan Mattingly, and Myles Cosgrove for her murder. #SayHerName

One of our clients is an elderly disabled Black veteran who Ferguson police jailed because he couldn't pay several hundred dollars in cash. He was arrested when police found women's underwear during an illegal search of his home and he didn't have a city permit to have guests.

“I want to talk about the history of enslavement and lynching and segregation not because I’m interested in punishing America — I want to liberate us. I believe there is something better waiting for us,” says @eji_org founder Bryan Stevenson. https://t.co/QMBgL2sRxv

The Supreme Court yesterday allowed Florida to bar people with felony convictions from voting unless they pay court fees, fines, and restitution. The ruling means that nearly a million otherwise-eligible Florida residents won’t be able to vote. https://t.co/e0o4vnIzkK

“They’re killing our sisters just like they’re killing our brothers, but for whatever reason, we have not given our sisters the same attention ... Breonna’s name should be known by everybody in America." #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter

On this day in 1954, the U.S. government staged mass deportations across the Southwest - by the end of 1954, nearly 1 million Mexican immigrants had been deported. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice https://t.co/rBvmxXX4dC
