Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans woman, was on the front lines of LGBTQ+ activism at Stonewall. Black women—cis and trans—have always led the fight for justice. #LGBTQHistory #BHM

#BHM Barbara Jordan’s voice demanded justice. The first Black woman elected to Congress from the South, her words during Watergate still resonate during Black History Month and each day that follows. #Trailblazer

This Black History Month, we remember Coretta Scott King who didn’t just carry on MLK’s legacy—she built her own. Civil rights, LGBTQ+ rights and anti-war activism—she fought for justice in every form. #CorettaScottKing

#BHM Before Rosa Parks, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to give up her bus seat. History tried to forget her, but we won’t. #SayHerName

Fannie Lou Hamer risked everything for voting rights. Jailed and threatened, she never backed down. “Nobody's free until everybody's free.” #VotingRights #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM

Shirley Chisholm didn’t wait for permission—she ran for president when no one thought a Black woman could. The first Black woman in Congress, she paved the way for so many. #UnboughtAndUnbossed

Say NO to imprisoning more children! #NoOn3
#LOUISIANA: On March 29, Louisiana voters will have the opportunity to vote #NoOn3, a dangerous proposed amendment to the state constitution would funnel more kids into adult prisons and jails, exposing them to high risks of suicide, sexual violence, and physical assault. If it isn’t stopped, this measure will create a pathway for children of any age to be transferred to adult court. Together, we can protect children. Vote No on Amendment 3 to ensure a brighter future for Louisiana.

Here’s a #throwback to when our Operation Girls youth program packed and distributed clothes and personal items to New Orleans’ unhoused population. These incredible young women know the value of giving back and experienced firsthand the power of community.
