Of course #DEI is just another of a long string of terms that the #GOP has gone out of their way to make derogatory, along with #woke and many, many others. It should be obvious to anyone who is paying even the least bit of attention that we are decidedly not a color-blind society, nor are we a society free of discrimination. Quite the contrary, in fact. This is why #DEI programs are more important than ever. Not to mention the #A11Y label the executive order ducked in. As a person who is blind, there are certain things I need to level the playing field for me. If I were forced to rely on employers to just do the right thing and hire me, I’d be waiting a long time, possibly forever. If an employer has the choice between me and another perspective candidate who is not disabled, who do you think they’ll give the job to? No-brainer, it would go to the person for whom no accommodation needs to be made, no extra expense in adaptive equipment, etc. Chances are pretty good I’d be sent away with platitudes about how it’s so great that I’m out there trying, I’m an inspiration, blah blah blah. Racism is not over. Discrimination is not over. And outmoded notions about disability are far from over. So the current regime can take their dreck about how they just want to make things color-blind and equal and just stick it. #WeAreNotGoingBack

“I am in this race to fight for the people, just like I always have,” #KamalaHarris said.

“Nearly 250 years ago, America was born when we wrested power from a petty #tyrant.” Since then, America has shown that “a government for & by the people is strong & can endure”.

People who fought for their rights at #Selma, #SenecaFalls & #Stonewall “did not struggle & lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental #freedoms”.

My personal favorite part of #KamalaHarris’ speech tonight:

“There’s something about people being treated unfairly or overlooked that, frankly, just gets to me. I don’t like it. It’s what my mother instilled in me, a drive to hold accountable those who use their wealth or power to take advantage of other people.”

The location of #KamalaHarris’ event will be a stark display of the alternate futures that voters face if she or #Trump takes over the #US presidency in just 3 months.

“It’s a place that … helps crystalize the choice in this #election,” said #Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon.

#KamalaHarris’ closing argument event will be held at the #Ellipse, near the White House, in Washington, DC, the same spot where #Trump held his *Stop the Steal* rally, inciting a crowd of thousands to violently invade the Capitol to try to halt the #certification of Democrat Joe #Biden's victory.

And back to the #joy of #KamalaHarris

#Harris is expected to take the stage in #Houston, #Texas at 8:30PM CT, & it is anyone's guess on whether #Beyoncé & others perform before or after. Typically, the headliner - which is Harris in this case, even if this is maybe the only time Beyoncé is not the headliner - goes last. But do organizers want people streaming out after the concert & before Harris talks?

#KamalaHarris spoke directly to young people, “I see you, I see you, I see you,” she said. “And to you, I say, you all have grabbed the baton.” She recognized that those voters were “rightly impatient for #change,” having grown up amid a #ClimateCrisis & active #ActiveShooter drills, & having seen #rights their grandparents had taken away from them.
