Picture of houses in New Orleans, LA. Text over that reads, "Residents deserve a change. New Orleans is facing a housing crisis. On November 14 take action. Vote "yes" to the affordable housing bond package."
For too long NOLA residents seeking affordable housing have been segregated. On November 14, it’s time to demand a change.
Vote YES on the new housing bond package because NOLA residents deserve affordable, accessible housing across all neighborhoods.

SNAP cuts don’t just hurt families; they starve local and Black communities' economic growth. Every SNAP dollar generates up to $1.80 in economic activity.

BREAKING: a federal court officially blocked Trump’s executive order demanding voters show proof of citizenship.
No president can violate the separation of powers to change our elections and disenfranchise eligible voters. Period.

BREAKING: 2 federal judges ruled the Trump administration CANNOT suspend SNAP benefits. The administration MUST spend its emergency reserves to partially fund SNAP — to make sure no one goes hungry in Nov. 42 million Americans can’t wait. We need ACTION. #ProtectSNAP #ReleaseTheFunds #EndTheShutdown

“While the conviction of former Deputy Sheriff Grayson for second-degree murder is a step towards accountability, it will not bring Sonya Massey back. It also does not lessen the need for the difficult work ahead to prevent more senseless police killings.” - LDF Associate Director-Counsel Todd Cox

🚨 39% of SNAP recipients are kids. That’s 16 million children who could go hungry starting November 1. Congress, this isn’t a game of freeze tag.

This is what accountability looks like 👏🏽 A former sheriff’s deputy was found GUILTY in the killing of Sonya Massey. Police are not above the law, and today’s conviction proves just that.
Justice for Sonya Massey & the many other Black lives lost due to police violence – our fight is for you!

"Welcome to North Carolina" sign featuring the state flag, located at the Watauga County line, with a scenic backdrop of hills and cloudy skies.
🚨 BREAKING: North Carolina just passed an off-cycle congressional map designed to diminish Black voting power. 84% of North Carolinians oppose the legislature’s redistricting push. This move is part of a growing bandwagon of states sidelining Black political influence.

people holding sign that says, "erase the gang database"
New York’s gang database has never been about keeping New Yorkers safe. It was created to surveil Black & Latinx communities and racially target them.
These communities deserve real protection – not a blatantly racist tool that’s only goal is to criminalize them. Abolish gang databases for good!

Poster stating, "When SNAP ends on Nov. 1, 42 million Americans will struggle to feed themselves and their families." Includes additional information about the impact of government shutdown on SNAP benefits, presented by the LDF.

Aerial view of Seattle at sunset featuring the Space Needle and the city skyline with Mount Rainier in the background.
A white man is suing Seattle for… promoting equity?
He claims the city’s Race and Social Justice Initiative discriminates against him. We filed a brief urging the court to shut this down.
📢 Equity isn’t oppression. Inclusion isn’t exclusion. Let’s not twist the law to silence progress.

📅 Day 22 of the shutdown. Congress missed the deadline.
Black communities are feeling the consequences:
⚠️ No pay for federal workers
⚠️ Paused civil rights enforcement
⚠️ Disrupted public services
⚠️ Without a CR SNAP with cease 11/1 in some states.
It’s time to demand better!
