Black women have something to say. Will policymakers listen? Over 30 Black women’s organizations created the Black Reproductive Justice Policy Agenda to pass laws to address racism, sexism and other oppression Black women, girls and gender-expansive people face. Find out how you can help, visit BlackRJ.org. #BlackRJ #ReproductiveJustice

Happy #PrideMonth family! New Voices has been unapologetically committed to the health and well-being of Black #LGBTQ folx since DAY 1 going back to 2004! We love you. We fight with and for you. We honor all that you are - exactly as you are.... #lgbt #reproductivejustice #newvoicesrj

We said we’d #BeBoldEndHyde in our lifetime and thanks to the 130+ partners in the @AllAboveAll coalition, we got a @POTUS budget free from Hyde! This is an amazing step toward #AbortionJustice -- YOU DID THAT. We did that! #ReproJustice

Today marks the beginning of #PrideMonth2021! We celebrate not just where we stand today in the fight for queer liberation but honor those who pushed, organized, and sacrificed to help us get where we are now. Queer liberation is #ReproductiveJustice. Happy Pride!

We give honor to #ViolaFletcher - the 107-year-old survivor of the #TulsaRaceMassacre. She testified in Congress last week to demand justice and acknowledgment of what transpired one hundred years ago. Always speak truth to power. #tulsa #trustblackwomen #blackwallstreet #reprojustice #newvoicesrj : C-SPAN

Black people were minding their own business and thriving socially, economically and politically in #Greenwood, a suburb of #Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was so prosperous it was called #BlackWallStreet. White residents who were already feeling some type of way about Black financial mobility and political power exploited an alleged sexual assault of a young white woman by a young black man as the basis to burn Greenwood down to the ground.... White people can’t stand for Black people to be great. This state sanctioned attack on Americans killed over 300 Black people, left 10,000 Black residents homeless, there have been no legal consequence at the local, state or federal level for the $200 million in damages and losses (in today’s value), no justice for the survivors of the #TulsaRaceMassacre and a history erased. On this #MemorialDay, we redirect the energy to the 100th Anniversary for the #TulsaMassacre as a nation’s call for reparation for this heinous and unspeakable attack on American citizens. : Raven Majia Williams #tulsa100 #tulsaraceriot #reprojustice #newvoicesrj

On the 100th Anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre, we acknowledge the racist attacks on Greenwood, OK. "The community now known as ‘Black Wall Street’ has become a symbol of the challenges Black communities face in building and sustaining wealth." https://www.wsj.com//tulsa-race-massacre-sidelined-legacy- #BlackWallStreet

Check out this message from Pastor Carl Day. If Philly Weekly want that smoke, they already got it. #blacklivesmatter #reprojustice #newvoicesrj

This is what Philly Weekly thinks about the murder of Black people and the gun violence plaguing #Philly. They are promoting a Guess the Murders, Win a Prize contest! They then defended this contest when people called them out and deflected accountability to elected officials. We ALL are responsible for and have the power to change what does and does not happen in our community. #PhillyWeekly is racist AF and their white supremacy is showing. Our outrage does not end here... - we have to keep this same energy for all the other institutions that dehumanize, harm and kill Black people. #blacklivesmatter #reprojustice #newvoicesrj

The system of policing is racist and corrupt. It was designed to control the bodies of Black people. It killed George Floyd - it will keep killing Black people until we make it stop. Text #RJ4BlackLives to 267.710.8319 to organize with New Voices. #justiceforgeorgefloyd #newvoices... https://www.cnn.com//george-floyd-death-anniver/index.html
