Today marks the 30th anniversary of South Africa’s first multiracial parliamentary election, in which citizens of all races were allowed to vote.

More than 22 MILLION South Africans lined up to cast their ballots — electing Nelson Mandela as the country’s first Black President and ultimately bringing an end to apartheid.

Don’t underestimate the power of our votes. We cannot take our democracy for granted. 🙌🏿

The legendary Harry Belafonte passed away one year ago today. He was a barrier-breaking musician who transformed the arts and championed civil rights throughout his life.

Today we’re thinking of him, his family, and his legacy. 🕊️

#OnThisDay in 1950: The Boston @celtics drafted Charles “Chuck” Cooper, an All-American forward from Duquesne University in Pennsylvania — making him the first Black player ever selected in a @nba draft. 🏀

That year, Cooper, Earl Lloyd, and Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton became the first Black players in the NBA. Clifton was the first to sign an NBA contract — and on October 31, 1950, Lloyd, a member of the Washington Capitols, became the first African-American to play in an NBA game. 

We’re celebrating these trailblazers today! ⛹🏾‍♂️🙌🏾

Today we honor Gordon Hirabayashi, born on this day in 1918. Dr. Hirabayashi was imprisoned after challenging the federal government’s internment of more than 100,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II. 

Justice was finally served when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his conviction 45 years later. 🙌🏽

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado, where 13 lives were stolen and countless lives were forever changed. 

In 1999, Columbine was the deadliest high school shooting in America’s history — but unfortunately, we have seen tragedy after tragedy added to the list since then. 

Enough is ENOUGH. It’s up to the politicians we elect to propose and enact critical gun safety measures to help protect our communities. 

Our vote is our voice. Make sure you, your friends, and your family are registered to vote today at weall.vote/register. 🙏🏽

On This Day nine years ago, 25-year-old Freddie Gray died from injuries sustained following a brutal encounter with Baltimore police.

A grand jury indicted all six officers involved in the brutal arrest — but none of the charges stuck.

Freddie Gray should still be alive.

Disenfranchising voters who have been incarcerated is a long standing voter suppression tactic — but with the bill Nebraska lawmakers passed last week, THOUSANDS of Nebraskans are one step closer to having their voting rights more easily restored. 🙌🏽

Currently, someone convicted of a felony in Nebraska must wait two years after completing their prison, parole, and probation sentences before regaining their right to vote. This bill eliminates that waiting period, allowing Nebraskans to automatically get their voting power back as soon as they return to their communities.

In order for this bill to officially become law, Governor Jim Pellen must sign it.

As of October 2023, 26 states and Washington D.C. have expanded voting rights to people with felony convictions. As a result, more than TWO MILLION people across the country have had their right to vote restored. Every voice matters in our democracy. 🗳️✅
