#repost @blackwomensdemclub __ Believe survivors, end rape culture, and reimagine healing for justice for survivors. ... The Denim Day campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. What women wear is never an invitation... it's really that simple. Learn more here: http://ow.ly/7kbA50EzZmx

Thank you for feature of our Branch President. President EllisRoyston is a committed and tireless leader working for the betterment of our community. #repost @ywcasgv __ Ms. Jeanette Ellis-Royston says that her "labor of love is to speak out against and dismantle social discrimination and injustice wherever I see it.

A tireless leader and connecter, Ms. Ellis-Royston co-founded the Pomona Valley National Council of Negro Women in 1986, reactivated the NAACP Pomona Valley Branch in 2013, where she now serves as Chapter President. Most recently, the Ms. Ellis-Royston and the NAACP-PV proposed and saw passed Breonna’s Law, a ban on no-knock warrants in the city of Pomona. They are currently seeking to see that ban adopted throughout all 10 cities they serve. As a leader, Ms. Ellis-Royston believes that a large part of her job is to remain true to her values, to motivate others and to find ways to connect: "We move the needle by being connected. I do believe that collective action gives us the highest form of impact. #RacialJusticeWarriors #YWCAisonamission #YWCASGV

Justice has prevailed in the case against #GeorgeFloyds killer #DerekChauvin, but the work is not done! We must keep fighting to end qualified immunity, and we must get #PoliceReformNOW.

The a badge is a symbol of commitment and dedication to the communities officers have sworn to protect. But our communities don't feel that sentiment when those... sworn to protect and serve hide from accountability. Sign up and demand #PoliceReformNow https://bit.ly/32lM3Dn

#Repost @washingtonpost Since the first indications that vaccine trials were successful, hope has grown that 2021 will bring an easing of the pandemic that has raged through 2020. The three leading vaccines, developed using cutting-edge technology and being fast-tracked through the approval process, hold the promise of keeping the virus at bay in ways that counting on personal adherence to mask-wearing and social distancing have not. For many, making plans for fam...ily get-togethers and overseas travel no longer seems futile or outright dangerous. But vaccines will not mean the immediate end of the pandemic. Emergency approval of the first vaccine, expected this week by officials at the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will be only the first step in a rollout that presentsstaggering logistical challenges. Masks and social distancing will continue to be necessary. Because vaccine supplies will be limited at the outset, priority will be given to those most at risk of infection. That means it will probably be months before the average American is eligible for a shot. And for all the enthusiasm about the vaccine and a determination Tuesday by the FDA that it issafe and effective there are swaths of people who are apprehensive. For many, the speed with which the vaccines have been developed and evaluated by the Trump administration is reason to be cautious. Read more by clicking the link in our bio. See more
