'These coordinated efforts to rewrite our history, remove our leaders from classrooms, and degrade our culture are a covert attempt to revert the progress we've worked tirelessly to secure. We refuse to go back.' —Derrick Johnson, NAACP President and CEO: bit.ly/3Q2XtVv

In the face of inaction from Congress, I’m proud to see President Biden taking steps to put people over profits and save lives.

Now, it’s up to our legislators to ban assault weapons once and for all.

The announcement of $20 billion in U.S. EPA grants for clean energy and climate solutions helps our communities get access to the investments they need. Our advocacy doesn’t stop here. Now we make sure these funds make it to their intended communities. bit.ly/4aC9yca

As we commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s work and honor his sacrifice on the anniversary of his assassination, we must remain committed to carrying on his legacy, and continue to ensure that our nation is moving in the right direction.

Imagine being so delusional in your thinking that in a moment that many should be thinking of creative ways to lend support and resources to those impacted by what took place in Balt., the best you can menacingly offer is:

“DEI did this!”

Foolishness indeed.

My thoughts are with the residents of Baltimore as community members and city officials navigate the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The NAACP stands with the families affected by today’s tragedy as rescue efforts continue.

Dr. Maxwell impacted many lives inside and outside the classroom. She will truly be missed.

What happened to Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker is deplorable and deeply disturbing.

No one should live in fear of the very institutions designed to protect them. We must continue to demand transparency, accountability, and real change — no exceptions.

In a world where social media shapes narratives and influences millions, the lack of regulation is truly alarming. It's time for accountability and ethics to govern the virtual space for the safety of all users. abcn.ws/3VrXMwV
