@Aries_Sherrie What’s sad to me is the professionalizing of youth sports. If your kid isn’t playing aau, they won’t make their 6th grade team. Many rec leagues are watered down due to funding cuts. AAU has become a substitute for school & rec ball. Which means it’s privatized & unregulated
My late father tutored my son 2x per week in math all the way from California—and always had on a Tuskegee shirt when he did. Ha. His grandson is now a freshman at TU—and is strong in math to this day. NEVER underestimate the power of your influence—or intention. Yeah.🥹🙏🏽🌱
"Native students often protect, cover, or braid hair for religious and cultural reasons, and the CROWN Act bolsters the laws already in place that guarantee Native students’ religious freedoms." – @NDNrights Deputy Director Matthew Campbell narf.org/texas-crown-ac…
Yes. LDF Senior Policy Counsel and Louisiana native Jared Evans and I are still beaming from our Louisiana win. Fair maps = fairer democracy for all. That’s what we’re fighting for. And we will not stop.
@SamSpital @RossDeuel @ACLU @ACLUofLouisiana @PaulWeissLLP We must also acknowledge on whose shoulders we stand: LDF attorneys Lani Guinier & Jack Greenberg, our 2nd Pres & Director-Counsel, helped win the 1st majority Black cong'l district in Louisiana in 1983 in Major v. Treen, with legends like LDF cooperating attny Bill Quigley.
WE DID IT! Our amazing clients, LDF legal team & co-counsel, along w/ the Louisiana Legislature & leadership of Gov. @JeffLandry got passed a bill creating a 2nd congressional district in the state where Black voters can (finally) elect a candidate of their choosing!
BREAKING: Louisiana's Legislature has approved a new congressional map that adds a second majority-Black district with boundaries stretching from Baton Rouge to Alexandria to Shreveport. We are one step closer to a fair map as S.B. 8 now goes to the state Senate for a vote.

Two amazing @NAACP_LDF voting rights attorneys sharing a moment on steps of Supreme Court today: @RossDeuel, who argued & won Allen v. Milligan from AL last term & Leah Aden, who argued Alexander v. SC NAACP from SC this morning. So proud of them both! ❤️❤️
So impressed by @RossDeuel and the whole @NAACP_LDF team who worked on this!
🚨 Breaking! 🚨 The Supreme Court left in place the trial court’s order blocking Alabama’s discriminatory 2023 plan! Next week the trial court will select a remedial plan where Black voters will have 2 opportunity districts in 2024! No noted dissents
I’m introducing a ballot measure urging San Francisco’s public schools to let kids take algebra in the 8th grade. We make everyone wait until 9th grade because some kids aren’t ready for algebra sooner. Let’s better prepare all students instead of holding back kids who love math.…
So proud to represent Delta Sigma Theta, the Houston Area Urban League, the Arc of Texas, and @jefflmclemmons to fight for the right to vote!
Today, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas began the first day of trial in LDF's case challenging S.B. 1, a Texas law that targets voting access. naacpldf.org/press-release/…
Judge Dale Ho, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York!
I am too excited that the Senate just confirmed Dale Ho to the Southern District of New York! I have known & worked closely with Dale for more than 10 years. He is one of America’s fiercest defenders of democracy. He is perfect for this position. He keeps great company, too.
Today, LDF's former Deputy Director of Litigation Natasha Merle was sworn in as a U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of New York. We are thrilled that she will bring her commitment to civil rights, the rule of law and democracy to the federal bench.
Introducing Judge Natasha C. Merle of the Eastern District of New York, sworn in by Chief Judge Margo K. Brodie. You absolutely LOVE to see it.

“The Court’s recharacterization of Brown is nothing but revisionist history and an affront to the legendary life of Justice Marshall, a great jurist who was a champion of true equal opportunity-not rhetorical flourishes about color blindness.” - Justice Sotomayor No truer words.
