• Thank you @sony and @rcarecords for your leadership in refusing to profit off the trauma of Black girls and women. @spotify @tidal , @applemusic and @pandora should follow your lead and #MuteRKelly. All allies in the fight against sexual violence must take a stand on this toxic issue.

  • BIG NEWS: Today, we joined @nygovcuomo in announcing the #TIMESUP New York Safety Agenda. The four-part initiative would eliminate New York’s outdated statute of limitations for second and third-degree rape claims, along with a number of other significant workplace protections. Statutes of limitations—the time frame in which a perpetrator can be charged with a crime—vary from state to state. New York’s current statute of limitations for second degree and third-degree rape is five years, making it one of only three states (joining Alabama and Connecticut) with such a short time limit. But there’s no expiration date on justice. We hope this agenda will prevent sexual harassment and assault, and also give millions of women and men the chance to pursue justice in the future.

  • Today marks the birthday of groundbreaking Chicana poet & playwright Estela Portillo-Trambley (1926-1998). Estela is recognized as one of the first authors of the Chicano Renaissance. Inspired by her life and community in El Paso, she was known for her portrayals of strong Mexican and Mexican American women that defied the stereotypes and gender roles of her era.
