⚖️ VICTORY for religious freedom in Delaware!

We’ve settled our lawsuit challenging discriminatory burial rules that blocked Muslim faith leaders from carrying out burial rites according to their beliefs.

Religious freedom means the right to practice, not just believe. ✊

🚨 ICE does NOT make our communities safer.

For months, we’ve watched ICE arrest U.S. citizens, smash car windows, and stalk people at courthouses, schools, and traffic stops. Now multiple people are dead.

➡️ Tell Governor Meyer: Close the pipeline.
