Friend --
From Kenosha, Wisconsin to Washington, DC, and in sports arenas across the nation—it has been a week of protest against police brutality and racial inequality. Join us for Sunday Brunch today at 2:00 pm ET as we unpack it all.

The WNBA has made social justice the primary platform for its 2020 season. Several of the league's games were postponed this week as part of the protest among professional sports teams regarding the shooting of Jacob Blake. The league also previously dedicated the entire season to Breonna Taylor, with some teams including her name on the back of their jerseys in her honor.
The cancellations and protests underscore an emerging new reality in big-time sports in which athletes are increasingly emboldened to express themselves on racial injustice and other social issues.
And as always, on and off the court, Black women are helping lead the charge.
This afternoon, we’ll be joined by special guests:
- Morgan Tuck, Forward, Seattle Storm, WNBA
- Paula Madison, Author, Business Owner & Former Owner & CEO, Los Angeles Sparks, WNBA
- Ebonie Riley, DC Bureau Chief, National Action Network
- Kayla Reed, Executive Director, St. Louis Action
Join us for today's Sunday Brunch to talk about what this means for racial equality in this country.
We will see you today at 2 pm ET on Facebook <[link removed]>or YouTube. <[link removed]>
Onward,
Glynda
