The Utah Black Roundtable called on @GovCox to veto #HB427. Aside from being dangerous for our kids, the bill is too vague and too broad to be implemented. Please consider doing the same. Ask the Governor to #VetoHB427 #utpol #utleg @myuea kslnewsradio.com/1991907/teache…

Utah Black Roundtable Executive Board's official statement on the passage of #HB215 #utleg #utpol

With abortion no longer federally protected, Justice Thomas suggests removal of right to privacy for contraception and same-sex couples/marriages could be next. He left Loving v Virginia, which legalized his marriage, off the list. He’s okay going after your marriage, though.

This is ILLEGAL! #Georgia

Our hearts break at the thought of the lifelong emotional trauma this young girl must now endure. May she always be surrounded by people who love her and will ensure she gets the mental care she will need.

We are grateful the gunman didn’t get the chance to execute black children for being black.

The Utah Juneteenth State Holiday Bill, HB238, just passed!!!! Special thanks to our bill sponsors, Rep. Sandra Hollins and Sen. Jake Anderegg and all of our supporters in the Legislature and Community!
