It was great speaking with the @MBK_Alliance Advisory Council, and hearing more about the work they’re doing to make a difference in the lives of boys and young men of color across the country. https://t.co/b4bpZZXP11
Earlier this month our Advisory Council met with @BarackObama to discuss our progress and the road ahead for @MBK_Alliance. We could not be more grateful for the time and dedication this extraordinary group of leaders provide to our young men and mission! https://t.co/dAbbJ4BHLOpic.twitter.com/jFmgkTkcdr
A couple years ago, the Florida state government rolled back a measure that would have given many formerly incarcerated Floridians their right to vote. Now, they can only cast a ballot if they pay off their incarceration debt. It's essentially a poll tax. https://t.co/nLFOhrhtEz
That’s why I’m asking all of you to call your Senators today and tell them to pass the Freedom to Vote Act. It’s a bill that will help fight voter suppression like this—and strengthen our democracy for all of us. https://t.co/iRPMqCGiqM
At a time when voting rights are being rolled back, the Freedom to Vote Act would strengthen our democracy and give more Americans a voice. That’s why the Senate should do the right thing and protect what so many generations fought so hard to secure.
Congrats to our new WNBA champs, @ChicagoSky! I couldn’t be prouder of this team — they worked hard for this moment, and have made our city proud. https://t.co/Da9cLtvSX4
Today, we lost an icon with the passing of Timuel Black. Over his 102 years, Tim was many things: a veteran, historian, author, educator, civil rights leader, and humanitarian. Michelle and I send our thoughts to his family, and everyone who loved him. https://t.co/EDxgIGbZHB
