The pandemic is placing intense and unequal pressures on families. All workers and families need access to emergency paid sick and family leave. This group of Christians, including #TFHope's @JasonCoker316 and @RGunterShapard, calls for #paidleaveforall. bit.ly/30V87U9

This is not something I often say, but I am extraordinarily proud of Mississippi today. There will be no banner of oppression flying over this state any longer. We wanted to #TakeItDownMS and we did!
