Janai Nelson talks about the actions of corporations with DEI rollbacks. How will these corporations act? Will they run and hide?

In an exciting week for voting rights, Janai Nelson met with Joe Morelle to discuss voting rights protections, like the Freedom to Vote Act.

The hypocrisy of targeting @npr-a standard-bearer in fact-based, progressive journalism-for supposed lack of viewpoint diversity while ⁦Fox News⁩ traffics in white supremacist fiction & fantasy 24/7 is a truth distortion & open attack on public media npr.org/2024/04/17/124…

ICYMI: Earlier today, the Minnesota Senate passed the MNVRA, which

'DEI efforts have long been lawful under Title VII.'

Yesterday's SCOTUS decision in Muldrow v. St.Louis does not change this but rather reinforces that employers cannot make decisions about job transfers based on race, sex, religion, etc.

Haiti is suffering a humanitarian crisis with ongoing violence, human rights abuses, and food shortages. The capital is largely controlled by armed gangs.

The U.S. cannot in good conscience deport people to Haiti in these conditions and should stop these deportation flights.

Today Speaker Sexton had a mother arrested in the gallery while holding a sign opposing more guns in schools.

Each day he grows more drunk with power, and is enabled by an extremist supermajority complicit in his authoritarianism.

We are witnessing the death of our democracy.

“The Board of Governors has also been criticized for its lack of diversity, with most members being white men.”

It’s not just Florida. There is a trifecta of assaults on 1) the right to vote; 2) the right to protest; and 3) the freedom to learn that is intended to silence us all and zombify the next generation. This November we are voting for our future and our freedom.

The folks who want to force women to have children against their will also want to starve those children of a lunch break while engaging them in child labor.

Many thanks to ⁦rolandsmartin⁩ for acknowledging the LDF leadership transition from Sherrilyn Ifill to me. I credit my predecessor & dear friend for her vision & send best wishes to ⁦RainbowPUSHCoalition⁩. We need strong institutions as much as ever. youtube.com/watch?v=qCbBCa…

Hello, corporate America. What are you doing to respond to the unanimous Supreme Court decision in #MuldrowvStLouis upholding Title VII’s breadth re: discriminatory employment decisions with the same gusto that you unilaterally disarmed on DEI? I’ll wait.

At Black Women Lead, listening to Janai Nelson speak about the bastardization of the 14th Amendment. A legal tool created to engender racial equity is now being used to strip away the very programs that make it possible. #AllInTogether #LDF #AIT24

As a Senator, I introduced the first resolution to recognize Black Maternal Health Week.

During this week, we lift up Black women's voices, share their stories, and recommit to saving lives by addressing this urgent health care crisis.

Tomorrow the Minnesota Senate will vote on the Minnesota Voting Rights Act (MNVRA).

We urge them to pass this critical bill to protect Minnesota voters & restore and strengthen the tools that were stripped by the Eighth Circuit.
