WASHINGTON, D. C. - U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown says that developing uterine fibroids “was like having an uninvited guest take over your body, month after month, for years,” creating painful, unpredictable menstrual messes that took such a mental toll that she finally resorted to getting a hysterectomy.

CLEVELAND — Shaneice Ball has faced a number of challenges over the past year.
The Cleveland native and state-tested nursing assistant tells 3News if it wasn't for the White House providing support to get by through the child tax credit under the American Rescue Plan, she doesn't know where she and her family would be.

But the arc of the moral universe is anything but. It does not bend towards justice on its own—no, it only does so because people pull it towards justice. It is an active exercise, not a passive one.
