#Juneteenth recognizes Union troops who came to #GalvestonTexas June 19, 1865, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Over 2½ years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the order. It's a celebration of freedom and reminder of how freedom wasn’t simply given. #FreedomDay
If you're impacted by the bans and seeking supporting accessing care outside of South Carolina, help is available. Reach out to the Trans Youth Emergency Project from @SouthernEqual via https://t.co/cXpo3eOACm
We are sending so much love to trans youth, adults, and their families in South Carolina and beyond today. These discriminatory gender-affirming care bans will remain in place, but our fight for the equality, humanity, and dignity of trans folks continues 🏳️⚧️
Plan B is birth control - it helps prevent pregnancy before it happens. If you’re already pregnant, it won’t do anything.
Abortion pills are totally different. They’re used to end an existing pregnancy.
🧵 A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking ICE & DHS from arresting or removing international grad student Matthew Ariwoola from South Carolina while his case challenging the constitutionality of the government's actions against him continues.
9 years ago, 49 people, most of them young, Latino, and LGBTQ+, were murdered at Pulse Nightclub.
Pulse was a celebration of life and love + it became a reminder of how fragile both can be for marginalized communities.
Today we honor them with truth, with love, and with action.
Today RFK Jr fired every member of ACIP. And I am far too upset about this to be playing political games. But @AnnieAndrewsMD is correct. Lindsey Graham enabled this. Children will die as a result. South Carolina deserves better.
We’ve already pledged help for 150+ people this month—and it’s only the 9th. We’ve blown through our budget.
But abortion access can’t wait. If you can give today, please do. Every dollar goes to helping folks now.

Executive Orders exist to help presidents enforce laws—not rewrite them. Trump’s record-breaking use of EOs (often overturned by courts) proves he’d rather rule than govern.
The Constitution balances power for a reason. When one branch overreaches, our democracy suffers.

#RichlandCountySC is committed to fostering a community that embraces diversity and celebrates our differences. June is a perfect time to think about ways we can work together as one community, making Richland County a place where everyone feels they belong.
Happy #PrideMonth!
