For the second time this month white nationalists have targeted #HBCUs. This is the result of the movement to attack Blackness in schools and erase our history. Banning books and censoring history has escalated to attacking our historical institutions. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/howa…

The FBI said it is investigating the slew of bomb threats at historically Black colleges and universities earlier this week as hate crimes.

Significant delays in processing U visas for #ImmigrantSurvivors of violence puts them at risk of violence, exploitation, and trauma. Congress must fully fund USCIS to address these harmful backlogs so survivors have true pathways to safety and security.

Grateful to testify on the importance of HB1916 that will, in part, train patrol officers and prosecutors in trauma informed practices. Survivors deserve to be treated with dignity. #waleg

White men, acting in the name of public safety, used guns to shoot unarmed people, and are now claiming self-defense in two courtrooms. Can our laws handle the new vigilantism? nytimes.com/2021/11/13/us/ri…

The U visa program was created so that #ImmigrantSurvivors do not have to choose between living with abuse and risking deportation or separation from their families. Congress MUST now raise the annual cap of U visas to meet the need.
