Pay teachers a fair salary. Teachers shouldn’t have to debate what they can and can’t buy because they can’t afford the items on their grocery list.

A reminder that women, no matter their skin color, are not considered equal to men under the rights afforded them in the Constitution of the United States of America.

I don’t know about y’all, but the biggest issue on my mind right now is the price of gas and groceries. We are living in unprecedented times where the cost of feeding a family has skyrocketed. We need someone to fight for us.

Here’s an idea: 💡 Give Arkansas teachers the bonus AND the raise.

A bonus is not the same. Give teachers the raise, Arkansas.

Today, our nation took many steps backwards for women’s reproductive freedom. America needs fierce women unafraid to fight for our daughters’ bodily autonomy, just as our own foremothers did so long ago. I am so glad my mother did not have to live to see this day.

When you take away a woman’s right to choose, you strip women of the right to reproductive freedom.

I never thought I would see our nation go backwards, yet I am watching as women lose their rights every day.

Arkansas should wait until after Labor Day to launch face to face instruction in order to mitigate the unavoidable spread of the Delta strain in our school districts.

Abortion is a political hill I’m willing to die on. I pray for the day that every woman is respected enough to be given the right to make the decision that is in the best interest of her own family.

Arkansas needs a Democratic candidate who can look Sarah Huckabee Sanders square in the eyes and call her a liar to her face.

Make no mistake: There will be a full trial. There will be a fair trial.

Reproductive justice is economic justice. As the pandemic has concentrated job losses among women, especially women of color, we must acknowledge that there is no economic equality without bodily autonomy. #Roe48
