We Mourn the Death of Justice Ginsburg

It is with heavy hearts we mourn the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It is ironic that in this, the centennial year of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote, we have lost this strong and valiant woman, only the second of her gender to be named a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

"Say Thank You Say I'm Sorry" by Jericho Brown

Jericho Brown, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, has captured in this poem the way this pandemic has affected us all, especially "essential workers" who seem to be taken for granted instead of given credit for the sacrifices they make every day.

We stand together

We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the country who are peacefully protesting to make their voices heard. We must stand together to end the hate, oppression, and discrimination that is poisoning our country.
