Over the next two days, @BET is hosting its yearly social impact conference, #META. A diverse group of leaders will collaborate around how we turn out the vote & how we protect the vote. We’re excited to see the work that comes out of this convening! #ReclaimYourVote
@BET Today, LDF Assoc Dir-Counsel Janai Nelson (@JnelsonLDF) will speak as a panelist at @BET‘s Media, Entertainment & Technology Alliance (#META).

@JnelsonLDF will illuminate some of the most pertinent issues of today: voter participation & election security. #reclaimyourvote
Right now, our nation is faced with rampant, unchecked election interference--and our elected officials have yet to take decisive action.

It is time for voters to act and take the integrity of the #2020elections into their own hands. 🗳️
Don’t know how to begin? Start here with LDF's 12-step Voter Participation Action Plan which breaks down the steps you can take to #reclaimyourvote !

1/ BREAKING: Simply stated, natural hair discrimination is racial discrimination. Last month, news surfaced that TX high school senior De’Andre Arnold was barred from walking at his graduation by Barbers Hill Independent School due to his dreadlocks.

nytimes.com/2020/02/01/us/…
2/ From schools & salons to jobs & airports, racial bias is often distilled into policies that disproportionately target Black people. These policies limit Black mobility by forcing individuals to decide whether or not compliance is worth sacrificing a part of their identity.
3/The fight against #naturalhair bias isn't new to LDF. Last June, Assoc. Director-Counsel @JNelsonLDF delivered testimony before the House addressing @TSA body scanners&policies that disproportionately subject Black women to addt’l screenings at airports. bit.ly/36X7XMR

As @NAACP_LDF honored the legacy of the Brown v. Board of Education Decision on its 60th anniversary in 2015, issues in Gardendale, Alabama that same year shows that the fight for educational equality is far from over. #DecadeRewind #BrownvBoard
Along with the Honorable U.W. Clemon, LDF litigated the appeal to the ruling in Stout v. Jefferson, which allowed the predominantly white Gardendale to partially secede from racially diverse Jefferson County. #DecadeRewind naacpldf.org/press-release/…
“We will continue doing everything in our power to ensure that state and local governments facilitate the integration of all children.” --@SamSpital, Director of Litigation #DecadeRewind naacpldf.org/press-release/…

I got interested in #legaltech after reading "Tomorrow's Lawyers" by @richardsusskind. In it, Susskind predicts what will happen to the legal industry over the next 20 years, but I wanted to know what people were working on *now*. Everyone I met said “Go to @wearelegalgeek”...
So I went to @wearelegalgeek! I attended all 3 days, and these are some thoughts on Day 1 from an outsider's perspective :). Also, I'm wrong frequently, so please feel free to call me out when you think I said something stupid :) (go easy on the company list I was movin fast)
Day 1 seemed to run like a normal conference (the few I've been to), with speakers, demos and corporate booths happening everywhere. Instead of listening to the awesome lineup of speakers ... I decided to talk to every company I possibly could lol:

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

1. The sleeping giant is slowly awakening to the corruption that is enslaving us all.

Once this giant has fully awoken we shall be unstoppable.

Public awakening is their greatest fear.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
2. It’s essential that #WeThePeople understand how #Corruption in the pharmaceutical industry has a stronghold on people.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
3. This long & detailed thread will shine light on corruption in the vaccine and cancer industry.

These are complicated & touchy parts of the #DeepState rabbithole for obvious reasons but facing the #Truth is very important.

The truth shall set everyone #free.
