EDITORIAL: Black Youth Matter — We Must Prioritize Access to Mental Health for African American Adolescents

by WI Editorial Staff September 18, 2024September 18, 2024

The Congressional Black Caucus has formed a task force to address the alarming increase in suicide rates among Black youth, emphasizing the need for increased access to mental health care and stigma reduction.

**FILE** Around 500 people gathered in St. Paul to march in support of immigrants and protest Republican President Donald Trump's immigration policies. The protesters called for the end of deportations, the Muslim travel ban, and discrimination against undocumented immigrants. They spoke in support of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and TPS (Temporary Protected Status) for countries like El Salvador and Haiti. (Fibonacci Blue via Wikimedia Commons)
