Mississippi. Tennessee. Louisiana. Alabama.
These states rolled back protections of the Voting Rights Act and continue disenfranchising African-Americans through congressional representation and voter suppression tactics.
This is the moment to take a stand. Hit them in the pocket. Boycott conventions, tourism, and major events that profit from our culture while ignoring our rights.
History will remember who stood up when it mattered most — not just for Black people, but for the next generation of all kids watching this moment unfold.
Make sure you’re on the right side of history.

Jason Collins didn’t set out to become a trailblazer. He became one.
It is a privilege to continue sharing my longtime friend Jason’s story with the respect and honor he deserves.
13-year NBA veteran Jason Collins died on Tuesday at 47 years old after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma.
Jason was a trailblazer and a light to all that surrounded him, @RamonaShelburne takes us through his story.
A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the following statement today regarding the passing of NBA Cares Ambassador and former NBA player Jason Collins:
“Jason Collins’ impact and influence extended far beyond basketball as he helped make the NBA, WNBA and larger sports community more inclusive and welcoming for future generations. He exemplified outstanding leadership and professionalism throughout his 13-year NBA career and in his dedicated work as an NBA Cares Ambassador. Jason will be remembered not only for breaking barriers, but also for the kindness and humanity that defined his life and touched so many others.
“On behalf of the NBA, I send my heartfelt condolences to Jason’s husband, Brunson, and his family, friends and colleagues across our leagues.”
