Have you read any portion of this act? What I have observed, from conversations, is that because many people have not taken the time to read any portion of this document, many believe and/ or assume that this vital piece of legislation only impacted "Black" people... Thus, some groups align themselves against the very body of laws that have had a net-positive effect on them as well. Reading really is fundamental. Thought for the day: May we read more ourselves and depend less on the 'word-of-mouth' of others.
On this day, 60 years ago, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted, representing a significant milestone in the fight for equality and justice. At the NAACP, we celebrate the courage and determination of everyone who made it possible and honor the legacy of the tireless activists who have continued to fight for a fair and just society for all.

Project 2025, as described, poses a direct threat to the hard-won progress of initiatives like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other pivotal legislative victories. Here's why it's concerning: Efforts under Project 2025 reportedly aim to change voting laws in ways that could suppress voter turnout, particularly among marginalized communities. This directly challenges the inclusive voting rights guaranteed by acts like the Civil Rights Act, which fought against discriminatory practices. The Civil Rights Act and similar laws were pivotal in advancing equal rights and protections for all citizens. Any efforts to roll back these gains through legislative maneuvers threaten to erode these foundational principles of equality under the law. Changes proposed under Project 2025 could disproportionately affect communities of color, LGBTQ individuals, and other marginalized groups. This not only perpetuates inequality but also undermines the democratic ideals of fairness and representation. By restricting voting rights and fair electoral practices, Project 2025 could diminish the political influence of communities that have historically fought for and benefited from legislative protections. This undermines the democratic process itself by limiting diverse voices in governance. The fight for civil rights and social justice is ongoing. It requires continued vigilance and active participation in politics to protect and expand upon the progress made. Engaging in advocacy and supporting measures that uphold equal rights are essential to countering regressive actions proposed under Project 2025. In essence, Project 2025 represents a significant threat to the principles of equality and justice that the Civil Rights Act and similar legislation embody. It underscores the importance of remaining actively engaged in politics to safeguard these hard-fought gains and ensure a fair and just society for all.

The ACLU is running what may possibly be one of the most deceptive and dishonest ads I’ve ever seen. The ad says that the ACLU is fighting for the rights of everyone, saying, “We the people means all of us, from sea to shining sea.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the ACLU: · Fight against women’s right to privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms. · Fight against women’s rights to fair competition in athletics. · Fight against the rights of parents to know what is being taught in public schools and to protect their children from racist CRT and LGBT indoctrination. · Fight against the rights of psychologists, doctors, nurses, artists, bakers, florists, adoption agencies, private pharmacies, wedding venues, and business owners who are just trying to live out the “free exercise” of their religion, which the First Amendment guarantees! In my humble opinion, the ACLU is one of the most anti-First Amendment organizations in America! If you really want to support First Amendment freedoms, support Alliance Defending Freedom! https://lnkd.in/gcQQfKj6

Check out my latest blog as I reflect on where we are with efforts to derail commitment to advancing racial equity. “This is a critical moment and time in our history, and I believe what we decide to stand for as evaluators and as a field is vital for our country’s history and future. So, let’s be bold and courageous together!”

On this Juneteenth, please consider or share your alignment to the following: Reflection is meaningful but action is necessary!!! It's time to show that we learn from history and demonstrate understanding that we know it is inappropriate to try and rewrite history. We must ensure that truth prevails and we must respond in kind by leaving a legacy of FORWARD and not BACKWARD movement for younger generations. Is this not OUR moral imperative? #forward; #Juneteenth; #DEI
Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a significant milestone in American history. On this day in 1865, news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Galveston, Texas, marking the end of slavery in the United States. We reflect on the progress we've made and recognize the work that still lies ahead in the journey toward equality and justice. Let's commit to learning, growing, and standing together in solidarity. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EqualityForAll #TogetherWeRise #MSP #VMS #ContingentStaffing #FutureofWork
