I'm disappointed that the reaction to the results of an election in Georgia resulted in our legislature passing a voter suppression bill.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

From passage of the #SB202 voter suppression bill targeted at Black and brown voters to the arrest of a Black legislator who was advocating for the voting rights of her constituents, today was a reminder of Georgia’s dark past. We must fight for the future of our democracy #gapol

[Jonathan Rapping @JRapping]

Ours is a Black & Jewish household. Tomorrow begins Passover - we remember our shared history of oppression and rededicate ourselves to fighting until everyone is free. Raising two children with this perspective is part of our contribution to the ongoing struggle for justice!

We Won!!! CA Supreme Court declared #SB1391 constitutional! This means DA's can't try transfer youth under 16 to adult court!!! This is over attempts from Santa Clara County DA Office who still wanted to transfer our kids. #WhenWeFightWeWin for our children! Here's the presser!✊🏾

[Jonathan Rapping @JRapping]

No child should ever have to feel this vulnerable in the hands of police. We've seen many youth interrogated in their homes, schools, streets, even hospital rooms. @Evan_Low We need your YES vote to #PassSB203 to ensure young ppl are not alone when facing police interrogation.
