  7. “We hope this significant sentence sends a clear & resounding message that this type of hate-fueled attack against a #church will not be tolerated in our country,” Asst AG #KristenClarke of the #DOJ’s #CivilRights Division said in a news release. “This defendant tried to burn down a church simply because its members created space for & provided support to the #LGBTQ+ community.”

  8. "Ameris [a bank with ~$25B in assets] violated the Fair Housing Act and Equal Credit Opportunity Act, two federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in lending. Our analysis found that from 2016 through 2021, Ameris failed to provide mortgage lending services to majority-Black and Hispanic communities in #Jacksonville"

  9. Despite #Biden's repeated calls to hire 100,000 more cops to #police the country, it's worth it to remember and appreciate that he nominated #KristenClarke as the Assistant Attorney General for #CivilRights. She spoke at the Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast in #Selma yesterday:

    "The Bloody Sunday march was itself spurred by the beating and murder of Jimmie Lee Jackson by Alabama state troopers, yet police violence remains with us"
