January is going to be tough-it will feel like the early days of this virus, with schools and businesses closed, long periods of isolation and loved ones sick. But the difference is we know what to do this time. A New Year’s thread. 🧵 nytimes.com/2021/12/30/wor… 1) Masks—we know they work to mitigate infection, so wear them. We also know it won’t happen everywhere without clear rules (I might even use the word mandate). Don’t fear the mandates-they work!

Digging deeply into the first set of Biden-Harris economic recovery plans. A few critical pieces to know. I'm hopeful about our ability to do big things. THREAD #infrastructureplan #CareCantWait 2) The investment in jobs is the most significant in generations. And the jobs plan acknowledges the flaws in our economy well before the pandemic. That approach is spot on-we can't pretend that everything was sunshine and roses a year ago.

Folks, it’s going to take a bit before we have results on the Presidential. While states are counting votes, let’s take a moment to name what we do know. And there is a lot good to name. Yes, a thread. Ballot initiatives-Florida passed a $15 minimum wage. Colorado defeated another attack on abortion (22 week ban) and expanded paid leave. Washington expanded access to sex ed, universal pre-K passes in Multnomah, OR vox.com/2020/11/4/2153…

Just finished Day 1 of the hearing on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to SCOTUS and realizing that the Republicans are not being straight - either about what is at stake or the reality of these hearings. THREAD There is nothing typical about this hearing. A closed-door, multi-day event during a deadly pandemic is disturbing -made worse by the COVID outbreak in the Senate. npr.org/sections/live-…

I became a lawyer because my family had been plaintiffs in a groundbreaking school desegregation case. But I became a women's rights lawyer because of Justice Ginsburg. (1/5) She paved the way for women lawyers like the ones at @NWLC, like the ones that founded the Law Center 48 years ago, and like the ones here today.

Here’s what I didn’t get to say today at the House Education & Labor hearing on the new Title IX rule and gender bias in the Trump administration. The administration is arguing that this rule is justified by previous Supreme Court decisions.
It’s not. (THREAD)

#HandsOffIX In Davis v. Monroe, SCOTUS created a specific Title IX standard for students to bring lawsuits against their schools for failing to address sexual harassment and assault by other students. @NWLC knows this decision well — after all, we brought that landmark case.

It’s important that we not create confusion about the reality of sexual violence that students experience and the rules that DeVos has proposed. Thread. 1) The violence that students face in schools has long been kept in the shadows. Few people come forward because they know they are unlikely to be believed. Or that their schools will treat the violence they endure as unimportant. The DeVos proposed rules will make this worse.
