@POTUS Please nominate 5 members to the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Board. Victims’ families have waited too long. Since the bill (drafted by High School students with @RepBobbyRush @DougJones ) passed in 2018, families are closer to answers about their loved ones. Please help

Incredible news for the village of people that put this effort together and special shoutout to @wexlerwriting 🐐 for shepherding 80+ odd HHS students through the legislative cycle.
Incredible story of grit. Privileged to have played a (small) part🙏🏼
Thank you @Phil_Lewis_ for covering this significant development!! All of the students behind this cause @CCRCA2016 are relieved to see the White House and @POTUS doing their part to help victims’ families. This is a great step forward and we will continue to advocate!
NEW from me: The White House is pushing to jump-start an oversight board that will reexamine unsolved murder cases of Black Americans during the civil rights era

Years after Oslene Johnson helped write a law that directed the National Archives to collect and release documents detailing the unsolved killings of the civil rights era, she is still pushing for its implementation. ow.ly/aeMm30rxAUe @jcksndnl
The push for the Civil Rights Cold Case Act is still going. The final hurdle is for the @WhiteHouse to Act. Thank you @jcksndnl for your interest in our efforts. | Empty Board Hampers Effort to Release Records on Civil Rights-Era Killings courthousenews.com/empty-boa…
On behalf of all of us advocating for the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act, we would like to express our gratitude and thanks to @SenDougJones for his belief in our efforts and his commitment to this important cause. Thank you @DougJones for your time advocacy!

Hightstown HS students remain advocacy stars – Congress added $2M to the budget to implement the Civil Rights Cold Case Review Act thanks to their efforts. @CCRCA2016 Read more about their amazing work here: ow.ly/OIUV50xGOBC
This important piece of legislation is already making a difference. @RepBobbyRush @DougJones @tedcruz Thank you for championing this effort in both chambers. This law matters. We will continue advocating for appropriate funding and implementation. We can help our country to heal.

All of us representing the Cold Case Records Act would like to take this moment to pass on our sincere condolences to the family, friends and staff of @RepCummings
Congressman Cummings was a true advocate of democracy and diversity.
May he rest in Peace and in Power.

Thanks again for this. We are still pushing for the POTUS to make the board appointments and for Congress to finalize the appropriation. Anyone who wishes to write the WH on the former and their representatives and Senators on the latter, we appreciate it.
