A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

The Growing Rural Resistance to ICE Detention Expansion You may not see it on the news, but brave rural Americans are resisting ICE - Here's how you can join in

with links for online trainings, information sharing, meetings::

Opposition to Mega Prison Project Shapes a Local Election in Rural Arkansas - Bolts Incarceration has become a central issue in Western Arkansas, where the governor wants to build a new prison that has angered and mobilized residents.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' plan to build a huge mega-prison in rural Arkansas has drawn major opposition, with some residents saying it's made them think differently about incarceration in the face of organizing.

Now that's bleeding into a local election, as candidates vow to fight the governor.

NEW:

"Reforms" Didn't End Police Violence in 2020 and They Won't End ICE Violence Now We can't settle for "reforming" the largest law enforcement agency in the nation — it must be abolished.

"Democrats pushed forth training and oversight alongside short-lived lip service to Black Lives Matter as the pragmatic answer to stopping police-perpetrated killings."

"We cannot let that happen again."

"'Abolish ICE' is the floor, not the ceiling."
