Happy Birthday, Shirley Chisholm! The first Black woman elected to Congress and to run for president, she broke barriers with courage, vision, and an unwavering fight for justice. Her legacy inspires Black women to claim their space and lead boldly. #WinWithBlackWomen

It's still wild to me that Trump voters said:
Rape is ok.
Racism is ok.
Bigotry is ok.
Pedophilia is ok.
Banning books is ok.
Fascism is ok.
Felony is ok.
Not ok to Trump voters:
Low prescription costs.
Low college tuition.
Homeownership programs.
Business loan programs.
Health insurance access.
Healthcare.
Lower child care costs.
Clean air.
Clean water.
Higher wages.
Chip manufacturing companies.
Infrastructure.
Expanded Veteran benefits.
Research…
Then they get mad when we point out how stupid they are.

"The NAACP will continue to fight for lower medication costs, access to green spaces, food security, and the competent care needed to move our nation forward."
—NAACP Director for the Center for Health Equity, Dr. Chris Pernell
