On this day Shirley Chisholm in 1968, became first black woman elected to the United States Congress.

The Ohio Senate is about to pass their version of the state budget. It’s anti-child, anti-family, anti-worker.

This is a 🧵 outlining some initial takeaways.

@trevin_flick I've witnessed many at the "zoo lights" during the holidays!

#Reconstruction didn’t fail, it was undermined and defeated by white supremacists expelling Black legislators JUST LIKE THIS! https://t.co/aHps00GdQ8

@HopeFromOhio Wow that is genius but also hilarious! 😂 I’m sure your dog is all about grassroots organizing.

We don't talk about Ella Baker enough.

.@lysettearnold perfectly explained the benefit cliff! There's a problem when a parent is forced to turn down a $2 raise because they will lose their childcare. Thankfully, great organizations like @GroundworkOhio provide resources to help balance this disparity. #PutOhioansFirst

@ProfJeffries @RepJeffries My siblings try to tell me it’s because they were all “too old” to sit on her lap but I’m not buying it.

Forever thankful for @EricaCCrawley who laid the groundwork for legislation like this. Sending love to the Black women on the frontline of these issues.

Watching a group of phenomenal Ohio legislators discuss a bill to provide Medicaid coverage for Doula services. Thankful to see my own rep @latynamhumphrey along with @PaulaHicksHuds1, @_Reynolds4US and @AndreaWhite2020 prioritizing mothers and babies!
