In 2012 - informed by my observations in Baltimore - I critiqued the popular lament of whether working moms can “have it all” & argued that a true feminist agenda that is responsive to the needs of women of color must include issues like transportation equity.
Here’s the piece I wrote in 2012 in response to the “Lean In” phenomenon in which I talk about the urgent transportation equity needs of working moms of color. beaconbroadside.com/broadside/2012…

IMPORTANT: "Between 2005 and 2009...2/3 of median household wealth [in communities of color] was wiped out" by the foreclosure crisis. On Mon. SCOTUS will hear argument in a case that could result in an increase in foreclosures w/devastating effect on African American homeowners.
In Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus, SCOTUS will decide whether the protections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) covers nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings. These proceedings (w/o a court or judge) result in foreclosure more often than court proceedings.
READ our amicus brief to learn why the ruling in this case may affect hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings & why African American homeowners will be disproportionately affected. @NAACP_LDF supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/17/1…

I took this photo in Selma during the Bridge Crossing weekend in March. The hands you see are those of Mrs. Juanita Abernathy (widow of Rev. Ralph) and ⁦@RevJJackson⁩. The love w/which they greeted each other in Brown’s Chapel Church was so genuine and moving. #2018
Looking up to see the Lynching memorial at the @MemPeaceJustice in the distance was breathtaking. I will never forget that moment. April #2018
An hour in the @NPG to see up close @kehindewiley & #AmySherald’s portraits of President & Mrs. Obama. These moments were so restoring for me this year. Just go on your lunch hour. It’s never crowded and it’s free.#2018Wrapped

2018 was a tough year for civ rts & justice. I’m proud of how civil rights lawyers & activists fought & often won. The year was also marked by extraordinary, wonderful & uplifting experiences that strengthened me for the battles ahead. I’m grateful for each of those experiences.
A surprise party last Jan. to commemorate my 5th anniversary as Director-Counsel at @NAACP_LDF attended by the two living former D-Cs, my mentors Elaine Jones and Ted Shaw. My girl @JNelsonLDF set me up masterfully. I was clueless right up to the moment. It was lovely.
Had a moment with the great one - Justice Bader Ginsburg - at @ConstitutionCtr where we first met 25 years ago. Also good to see my friend Marcia Greenberger.

Gotta love seeing the ed board of one of America's leading papers impose an outmoded, 1980s-vintage frame on a high-importance political campaign. washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-s…
Still cheesed off over this. Maryland's governor shouldn't get marketed on platforms such as the Post editorial page as a 'centrist' when he's just as arguably governed as a low-key-but-effective ethnic chauvinist. washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-s…
As governor, Hogan's done little to alter the funding formula that punishes Baltimore city schools, leaving some facilities without heat in freezing temperatures last winter — and in fact has laid fault on the city's school system … baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…

Maryland's seafood industry is in crisis: Nearly half of crab processors have no workers to pick meat sold in restaurants and stores after losing in a first-ever visa lottery. baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
“This is going to cause the price of crab meat to go out of sight,” said Harry Phillips, owner of Russell Hall Seafood on Hooper’s Island. “There’s not going to be hardly any Maryland crab meat.
U.S. immigration officials won't say if they will raise cap for guest worker visa program, which lets workers come just for seasonal work and then go home. Most crab pickers are women from Mexico who have been coming for years.
