| As we mark Black History Month, we honor the Black leaders, organizers, and lawmakers who have shaped every fight for democracy and freedom. At SiX, we’ve lifted up this legacy through our work on Black maternal health and racial justice built with Black communities. We stay grounded in this truth: our work is stronger when we tell the full history, learn from it, and act on it.

| Last night, President Trump addressed the nation with his State of the Union speech. In response, EJ Juárez, Executive Director of the State Innovation Exchange, issued the following response:
"Tuesday evening, the world watched as President Trump abused the State of the Union address, treating this moment like entertainment for TV in a way that was abhorrent and beneath the office. It was yet another attempt to spew lies, propaganda, and hate to the American people and communities around the world. There was no reality in the picture Trump painted of American progress. The truth, rather, is that parents are skipping meals to feed their children. Workers are devastated by stagnant wages and mass layoffs. Grocery and utility bills are rising. Families are being separated. The safety, security, and integrity of our upcoming elections are uncertain…” |
