We showed up and showed out in California. The California-Hawaii NAACP mobilized 200 members for a powerful Day of Advocacy — uniting voices, sharing our priorities, and demanding equity for our communities. In partnership with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA), we met with state leaders and heard directly from members of the California Legislative Black Caucus and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. This is what it looks like when Black civic power moves as one. (fb)

Malcolm X didn’t just speak for us—he spoke to us. Today, we honor the legacy of a man who never compromised on his truth, who pushed us all to think critically about justice, freedom, and our place in the fight. His unwavering courage continues to inspire movements for change today. On his birthday, let’s remember the power of unapologetic Blackness and keep pushing for a world that Malcolm X envisioned—where justice is real for us all. (fb)
