Let's celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth by confirming the first Black female SCOTUS nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. https://blackpressusa.com/op-ed-lets-celebrate-women-history-month-by-adjusting-lady-justices-blindfold/"

09/02/2021 Tweet - "The Supreme Court's failure to block the Texas law, #SB8, is an egregious assault on women's reproductive rights, abandoning 50 years of legal precedent with no public deliberation. Congress must uphold Roe v. Wade by passing @RepJudyChu 's Women's Health Protection Act."
07/01/2021 Tweet - "Today's SCOTUS ruling further demonstrates why Congress must protect voting rights. This decision will lead to more onerous burdens on communities of color and will deny voters unfettered access to the ballot box. I would hope that Congress moves swiftly to pass S1 and HR4."
