Jacob Blake, while unarmed, was shot in the back by Kenosha Police 7 times in front of his 3 kids and paralyzed from the waist down. Contact both of your Senators and urge them to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020 (HR 7120) now! naacp.org/latest/george-…

The NAACP has been working for months, it's time for the Senate to do its job. @senatemajldr: Our states, cities, towns and schools need the Senate to come back from vacation. Call 1-888-981-9704 to tell your Senators to #FundtheFrontLines

Urgently urge Congress to include critical criminal justice safety provisions in next COVID-19 relief legislation. See my recent op-ed with Inimai Chettiar from @USJusticeAction calling on Congress to act now! nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

It’s September 1st and there’s no more time to waste: Congress MUST pass a relief package to ensure #NoShutoffs and #NoEvictions for people across the U.S. now!

Congress MUST pass a stimulus package that includes #NoShutoffs and #NoEvictions to make sure people across the U.S. can make it through this pandemic.

As many as 40mil nationwide, disproportionately Black, face evictions due to an inability to pay rent and millions more will see their access to water, electricity, and broadband cutoff. The next stimulus package must include #NoShutoffs and #NoEvictions for a true just recovery.

Access to shelter, water, power, and broadband should not be a radical concept during a pandemic. Congress, take note. We need #NoEvictions and #NoShutoffs in the next stimulus package.

People are being evicted because they can't attend online eviction hearings without an Internet connection. The Senate must cancel rent & pass a nationwide moratorium on utility shutoffs NOW!

The NAACP, Veterans Affairs Taskforce is excited to expand our work with the U.S. Veterans Administration, Center for Minority Veterans to improve access to health care and other comprehensive service benefits for veterans in our communities through the Veterans Affairs.

Chad Wolf has demonstrated as the Acting Secretary of Department of Homeland Security that he does not possess the American values and dignity to serve as Secretary of DHS. Urge your Senators to oppose Wolf’s confirmation.

Under the watch of Chad Wolf immigrant women were forcibly sterilized, this demonstrates a deplorable value. Wolf should not be confirmed as Secretary of DHS.

Chad Wolf, an architect for family separation, oversaw the implementation of countless cruel asylum policies, including recklessly expediting the expulsion, detention and deportation of vulnerable children and families. NO to the confirmation of Chad Wolf to DHS #FreeTheFamilies

Amid the #COVID19 crisis, Chad Wolf prioritized that the DHS continued to separate families through a false, "binary” choice, forcing parents to waive their Flores-agreement rights, or remain in indefinite family incarceration. #FreetheFamilies

Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf has put forth nothing but cruel and inhumane policies. Over 150,000 vulnerable asylum seekers, including unaccompanied children, have been expelled without due process. Congress must oppose Wolf’s nomination as Secretary of DHS. #FreetheFamilies

In open defiance to the Supreme Court, Chad Wolf disobeyed the court’s ruling to reinstate the #DACA program to its 2012 status, instead issued a new memo that reduced DACA coverage from 2 years down to 1 and rejected opening the program to initial applications. #FreeTheFamilies
