#BHM Spotlight: 🩺Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler made history as the first Black woman in the U.S. to earn a medical degree in 1864. At a time when Black Americans were denied proper care, she dedicated her life to healing communities. A true pioneer in medicine! 💜 #BlackHistoryMonth #NOLAsky #NOLAbluesky

Over 70 years of housing policies locked Black communities into poverty and criminalized their survival. The fight for justice starts with dismantling these structures.

A criminal record follows people for life, shutting doors to jobs, housing and education. It’s a punishment that never ends. It's time for change.

Decades of discriminatory housing laws displaced Black families and underfunded their neighborhoods. The result? Poverty, limited resources and an endless cycle feeding the prison system.

Women coming home from prison need support, not stigma. Let’s offer them the tools to thrive. Join Operation Restoration in making that a reality for all.

Over 66% of women in prison report a history of mental health struggles. Our justice system should heal, not harm.

Slavery is still technically legal in the United States according to the U.S. Constitution. Don’t believe us? Google the 13th amendment.
