HAPPENING NOW:
.@Sifill_LDF on our #USPS suit: We focused on the transportation decisions that the new Postmaster General made. We wanted to make sure every ballot would be delivered...We're still fighting to get every ballot delivered even after the process.
"There was an order that was presented by the Judge that required the Postal Service to do sweeps throughout the day...In the evening, the Postal Service let it be known that they had not done the sweeps...Obviously, we were very distressed about this."
"What happened today is that the Judge actually issued another order requiring that there be another sweep in the Texas facilities because Texas' ballots could still be legally received today...There'll be another hearing tomorrow."

HAPPENING NOW:
"I have talked for some time about what I call the regime of impunity that protects police officers, and the entire apparatus, from accountability and we’re seeing some of that today...One area of impunity is the ability of unfit officers to go from department to department."
"I want to see the grand jury transcripts. I want to know how this case was presented to the grand jury. The idea that they would come forward with only one set of charges, none of them having to do with Breonna Taylor herself is quite alarming..."--@Sifill_LDF

Tune in now for a conversation on the challenges facing the #2020Election!
"Black and Latinx people are 3X more likely than whites to contract COVID. They are 2X more likely to die from COVID. So, we must look at how we can enable that population of voters to exercise...their right to vote in a way that doesn't put their health at risk."--@JNelsonLDF
WATCH: @JNelsonLDF explains the Eleventh Circuit Court's decision to uphold #SB7066, a law that requires returning citizens to pay all outstanding fines and fees before they're allowed to vote.

COMING UP: In the 12 o'clock hour, President and Director-Counsel @Sifill_LDF will join @mitchellreports and @NinaTotenberg to discuss Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy, how she changed women's rights, and her role in civil rights. Watch live! ImageImageImage
.@Sifill_LDF on Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall: These are lawyers who literally transformed the direction of American democracy, and we accept the landscape they created like air...This is a woman of tremendous heroism and just a trailblazer in every way.
"Justice Ginsburg was a fundamentally decent person...She's the last civil rights lawyer who was on the United States Supreme Court...We've lost someone who had that authority. And the authority came from her experience as a civil rights litigator."

WATCH: In under one minute, @Sifill_LDF gives a quick history lesson on LDF's founding and deep roots in the civil rights movement.
