@patrickgaspard @ChrisMurphyCT Racism needs to be called out. And Senator Murphy did that. Sad that is newsworthy in and of itself!

From HBCUs to Clergy poll watchers, NAACP’s 10/29 Black Men Voter Day on 10/24, we are showing up to #vote because we know our power and we know how to use it. No politician will turn us around because we won’t let them! #NoKingsJustVoters is today!

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state.

I’m coming up on @TheBeatWithAri with my friend @Dr_CMGreer on #midterms22 but now seeing OR shooting is just … We are not ok.

We are a rights loving country where we the people believe in freedom. We who believe in freedom are not resting! We are educating, mobilizing, engaging and demanding that our civil and human rights be respected and enforced. #Vote like your rights depend on it. Because they do.

NEW POLLING🚨: Our fifth annual Civil Rights Monitor poll found voters are alarmed about their rights, united in their values, and exceptionally fired up for the midterms. Dig into our key findings now: https://t.co/aqnrndr5wG

This is not only heart-wrenching. It is unnecessary! This administration has been cruel to human beings who work, have families here & deserve so much better. Haitian’s here with permission are being threaten, deported and terrorized. https://t.co/lnG5Kxo2xF

The absolute cruelty and breaking of faith in public health research! All because this administration hates diversity & refuses to even consider understanding why Black ppl have twice the risk of Alzheimer’s. #Vote like your life depends on it! https://t.co/pCXXA68Zvd

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Hateful words doesn't pay rent, treat illness, or stop evictions. People know the difference between someone fighting to solve problems vs create them. 

We know why our voices matter and we will use them at the ballot box. @civilrightsorg

Who votes by mail? People over 65, registered Republicans, our members of the military…1 in 3 American voters or every race and background. SCOTUS decision to block the Trump admin’s use the US Postal service to undermine mail-in voting is a victory for voters & fair elections.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

SCOTUS blocked new vote-by-mail restrictions. Your freedom to vote as you choose stands.

47 million Americans voted by mail in 2024. With protections intact, make your plan: drop box, early in-person, Election Day, or mail.

Vote early, and be heard.

@bradlander Please don’t!

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

For those mourning the fallen on 9/11, we mourn with you. May we all know peace & safety. For those celebrating Eid Al Adha today, may your sacrifices be accepted and your blessings be abundant. For those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah Shanah Tova. May we all find peace in unity.

Dr. Lonnie Bunch has been a stellar steward of the Smithsonian & an inspiring visionary who brought us the Air and Space Museum & the African American History & Culture Museum. The nation is better for having him at the helm. The future of our history is on us to protect!

[Geoff Bennett @GeoffRBennett]

We spoke with Lonnie Bunch last week, before he announced his retirement as Smithsonian Secretary. That conversation airs tonight on the @NewsHour — about the pressure the institution has faced from the Trump administration, how he views this moment, and the legacy he leaves behind.
