Helping people vote should NOT be a crime @JRClemmons! TN is 45th in the country and groups shouldn't be penalized for helping @SecTreHargett do his job! Keep #VoterRegistration legal in TN, STOP Senate Bill 0971/House Bill 1079 in the #tnleg!
This is so painful! @NipseyHussle was doing great work for the people. Keep his legacy alive by carrying on his work! Sending love to his family. Rest in Power King 👑

DHS Secretary Nielsen will be before the Homeland Security Committee today. As Vice Chair and a nurse I will hold her accountable for the effects of the Administration’s family separation policy and what it has done to children’s mental and physical health https://t.co/42gxBub3Kf
Health equity for Black women can only happen if we recognize and address persistent biases in our health care system. We’re facing a maternal health crisis, and like any other crisis, it must be treated as a matter of public health.
Peace comes from within. Taking ownership of what I need to do in order to create my peace starts with ME taking ownership of releasing bad habits, letting go of toxic relationships & stopping neg thoughts in their tracks!
