The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded healthcare access to millions, especially those with pre-existing conditions, women needing preventive care, and low-income families through Medicaid. But tomorrow's election outcome could bring big changes:
1️⃣ Loss of Coverage: 23 million could lose insurance.
2️⃣ Higher Costs: Seniors and women may face rising premiums.
3️⃣ Mental Health Access: Critical coverage could be cut.
Healthcare access is crucial—tomorrow’s vote will shape our future. Learn more about what’s at stake: bit.ly/3YD1VOe

The music world mourns the passing of DJ Clark Kent, who succumbed to colon cancer on Thursday, at 58. 🙏🏾
Born Rodolfo A. Franklin, Clark Kent was a hip-hop pioneer whose production for legends like The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and Mariah Carey defined a genre. Beloved in music and fashion, his sneakerhead status was iconic, leaving a legacy celebrated by fans and giants like Nike alike.
Our heartfelt condolences to his wife Kesha, daughter Kabriah, and son Antonio. A documentary titled "God's Favorite DJ: The Story of DJ Clark Kent" directed by Angie Martinez, is forthcoming.
