Face recognition technology is dangerously biased. It's time for Congress to halt government use before more people are harmed. https://t.co/yHkhxByUrI — PolitiTweet.org

Singer and actress phenom @ALISTROKER became both the first person using a wheelchair to perform on Broadway and the first person using a wheelchair to win a Tony award. We met with her on At Liberty to discuss representation of disability in the entertainment industry. https://t.co/a2YswIoia2 — PolitiTweet.org

Brad Lomax was a member of the Black Panther Party and a disability rights activist. He was a crucial part of the 504 Sit-In, a landmark protest for disability rights. This #disabilitypridemonth, we recognize his contribution to our movements. https://t.co/BS0wI6oteM — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must take immediate action to address the looming mass eviction crisis. Extending the federal eviction moratorium will keep the most vulnerable, low income renters stably housed during the pandemic and beyond. https://t.co/bymrJZ1a5R — PolitiTweet.org

Read more about Prison Gerrymandering and what we can do about it, here. https://t.co/QlhU1xh73g — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Prison gerrymandering allows electoral maps to be drawn that underrepresent marginalized communities. Only when incarcerated people are rightfully seen as residents of the places they lived, will our maps reflect the constitutionally enshrined right to be fairly represented. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The simplest way to end prison gerrymandering would be for the Census Bureau to count people at their pre-incarceration addresses. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Today, there are 2.3 million people incarcerated across the country. Most are unable to vote, and the representatives of the districts they are housed in don't see themselves accountable to those constituents. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Many of these prison facilities were constructed in rural areas, ensuring a steady flow of captive constituents to those districts — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The average time served by people incarcerated in state prisons is 2.6 years, but Census redistricting only takes place once every ten years. This means that people are counted as residents of their prison facilities long after they are released. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Prison gerrymandering is the process by which people who are incarcerated are counted as "residents" not of the places where they lived prior to incarceration, but of districts housing incarceration facilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Let's talk about prison gerrymandering: what it is, why it's wrong, and what we can do about it. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

The USWNT fight for equal pay sets a precedent for gender equity everywhere. We’ll keep working with @NWLC and @WomensSportsFdn to close the wage gap and fight for more equal workplace protections for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

US Soccer has been violating the Equal Pay Act for decades. It’s past time the federation is held accountable for paying USWNT players at significantly lower rates than their male counterparts. — PolitiTweet.org

Equal play, equal pay — today, we filed an amicus brief along with 50 other groups in support of the US Women’s National Soccer team in their appeal of the dismissal of their equal pay lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

The current legal landscape leaves pregnant workers who want to keep our jobs and maintain a healthy pregnancy unprotected and vulnerable. The Senate can do its part to end this form of discrimination by passing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. https://t.co/j9J60UFoAH — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The bill is awaiting action by the Senate Judiciary Committee — and there’s no time to waste. Tell Congress to help end debt-based suspensions and the criminalization of poverty by supporting the Driving for Opportunity Act. https://t.co/isQxpa7U4O — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Driving for Opportunity Act could protect millions of Americans from the criminalization of poverty by providing grants to states that do not suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a driver’s license for failure to pay a civil or criminal fine or fee. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Using police to shake people down under the guise of the law can be dangerous, even lethal. Daunte Wright was brutally killed by police in Minnesota during a traffic stop stemming from unpaid fines and fees. Policing for profit enables harassment and violence. — PolitiTweet.org
