Women don’t need a day. Women need equal pay, paid maternity leave, flexible work, leadership positions, board seats, and funding.

No matter how #WarriorStrong you are, we all need a break sometimes, especially during a year of changes and challenges like 2020. Let's take that time on Oct. 30 — WSU's first-ever Mental Health Day for students, faculty and staff to focus on self-care. go.wayne.edu/mhd-20-tw

Glad that @JoeBiden chose as his running mate the first 2020 candidate to announce a disability platform, which she did on Aug 29 of last year!

Happy 30th anniversary to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Grateful for those who came before me and fought to allow me and so many others rights. I’m committed to continuing on the fight until there is full and equal access for all. #ADA30 #DisabilityJustice

This is absurd. How could anyone propose that students should attempt to travel home with so many travel bans in place, or transfer to another institution during a pandemic! Every academic organization needs to condemn this action strongly and swiftly. @APA @APAGradStudents

This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. ice.gov/news/releases/sevp-m…

Also to be clear if you really think Black Lives Matter but you're not wearing a mask, I'm not sure what Black life you're talkin about since Black people are dying at the highest rates from Covid AND systemic racism means that they're treatment will likely be worse.

Today, my dad cried over the phone, he wanted one week where he could use his computer without my help. He's blind. Each inaccessible webpage tells him, "you aren't welcome in this world." If you don't know whether your website or app is accessible: it's not. Start learning.
