From The Lily, a publication of The Washington Post: “Women’s workforce participation is down. Mental health concerns are up. The birth rate in the United States fell to its lowest level in decades. Reported instances of domestic violence in many jurisdictions increased, as those most at risk were left isolated and without resources.”

From The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Bacardi Jackson, Managing Attorney, Children’s Rights:

“In my journey as a parent of Black children, I have had to work hard to shield them from, or at least shore them up to be prepared for, the ever-present dangers of living while Black. The adultification of Black children in particular means they often are not seen by others as worthy or in need of the same protections, leeway, nurturing or care afforded to their peers.”
