Stay it louder for the people in the back 🗣
Did you know Native women, on average, make $0.60 for every $1.00 earned by White men? Today marks 13 years since the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed into law, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, especially for women of color. Our work continues!

The explanation for putting Lawrence into CD1 was, it’s a numbers thing. People are not just numbers - selecting just Lawrence into rural CD1 is breaking apart our strong and diverse community. The Ad Astra 2 excluded PB Nation from the other 3 tribes. This map is 🚮 #ksleg

It's time for the Senate to pass a #VAWA4ALL bill that will restore Tribal jurisdiction over non-Indian perpetrators of violence against Native women. ✊🏽 Let's urge the Senate to swiftly pass a #VAWA bill w/ critically needed Tribal provisions: bit.ly/3AcuZOw
