"Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on." - Thurgood Marshall, first Black Supreme Court Justice.

This year, we celebrate Black History Month by remembering the sacrifices that so many before us made to advance equality for all, including Thurgood Marshall, & acknowledge that those gains are now under threat. We fight every day, along with so many others, to make sure they're not reversed. (1/2)

This Black History Month, you'll be supporting Black Penned Stories. Follow this Starter Pack. This isn't DEI. It's Anti-Segregation. #BlackSky #BookSky

ICE agents are harassing and threatening Native Americans.

If this has happened to you, call my office at (202) 225-6190.

Trump said you can tell bad immigrants by what they “look” like. Tribal members look like the first Americans. Stop harassing them.
