Read @glyndacarr.bsky.social’s latest @wordinblacknews.bsky.social op-ed. The arrest of @replamonica.bsky.social isn’t about law enforcement—it’s about punishing Black women for leading with integrity.

A Dangerous Precedent: Criminalizing Black Women’s Leadership
The arrest of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver during a visit to a migrant detention facility in Newark is about authoritarianism, not justice.

@replamonica.bsky.social has been charged for doing what she was elected to do—provide oversight and demand accountability. This is about silencing Black women in power. We stand with her.🔗 Read the statement from President & CEO @glyndacarr.bsky.social via hhfa.us/StandWithLaM...

We sat down with John-John William IV of @thebaltimorebanner.com to unpack what due process really means in today’s immigration system. From one-page notices to limited hearings, the gap between law and practice is growing. Join us in two weeks for Sunday Brunch hhfa.us/2025-Brunch

This #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we celebrate @repjahanahayes.bsky.social , a former teacher and 2016 National Teacher of the Year. But while we uplift educators, Trump has signed 8 executive actions that threaten public education. Appreciation must come with action. #SupportTeachers #BlackWomenLead

This past Sunday, Dr. Kalisha Dessources Figures highlighted the urgent reality we’re facing: In just 100 days, we’ve seen attacks on DEI and cuts to vital programs for women, children, and marginalized communities. #BlackWomenLead

I met with CORA Food Pantry to discuss their critical work in combatting food insecurity within our community.

In #NC04, over 68,000 people rely on SNAP to put food on the table, and the GOP’s proposed cuts to these benefits will place an undue burden on local organizations working to fill in gaps.

Today, we remember Breonna. We honor her not just in words but in action—by demanding justice, accountability, and a world where Black women’s lives are valued and protected.

Black women who speak truth and stand up for justice are always the disproportionate target of these attacks, and we’re seeing that play out here. That’s why we are here to support Black women who lead like @pressley.house.gov. #BlackWomenLead

Rep. James Comer (R) threatened to remove Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D) for reading the headline: “Data from Texas show that US-born Americans commit more rape and murder than immigrants.”
