PERSIST.

When the government targets your community, you don’t wait for rescue, you become the resistance.

This week on This Woman’s Work: Jessica Villatoro of Siembra NC, turning fear into power and building real safety through community-led defense.

If leaders can invent a “war” and label people “terrorists” on command, none of us are safe.
This isn’t politics — it’s the rule of law.

Raise your voice. Demand oversight. Share this before the lies harden. #WADM

We’re thankful to be a political home for women and allies who refuse to give up. Join us. #WePersist

Our hearts are with the service members harmed today and their loved ones. Our soldiers and our communities deserve better.

Trump threatened lawmakers — specifically six veterans-turned-lawmakers — for telling our troops to follow the constitution.

It’s on us to demand every elected official condemn his calls for political violence.

Protect our reps, veterans, and troops. #WADM #elm100bk @moniquepressley.bsky.social

Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is facing up to 17 years in prison for doing exactly what she was elected to do: show up for her community.
This isn’t just her fight. It’s all of ours.
Follow @replamonica to support her work.

With the shutdown over, Team Trump was back in action! Looking for more ways to suppress the Epstein Files.

The victims deserve justice, and the public deserves the truth.

The Equity Alliance Building Equity from the Trap House to the White House

Some women wait to be invited in. Others kick the door open and make room. That’s Tequila Johnson. 💪🏾

She co-founded @theequityalliance to build unapologetic Black power from the ground up. Since 2016, they’ve registered over 200,000 voters and stood up to anyone trying to silence them.

Healthcare is a necessity, not a bargaining chip. #WePersist

Response to @fetterman.senate.gov saying Dems shouldn't wait for Trump to show up with a dozen roses (though that is such nonsense, it almost answers itself).

Period.

They’re counting on us to sit this one out. We won’t.

Your vote is your voice — so make it heard, loud as hell. #WePersist #Vote

While some people may not know where their next meal may come from, this woman’s work is making sure no one goes hungry.

@fracgram, led by Crystal FitzSimons, is fighting to end hunger & poverty, turning data into action, pushing lawmakers to treat food security as a right, not a privilege.

#SNAP

While millions lose SNAP and health care, Trump’s busy building ballrooms no American needs. Our families, including military families, are struggling while he’s celebrating and demolishing the White House. #WADM #WePersist

@katiephang.bsky.social

Republicans need to get back to work. Watch, share and spread truth further than their lies. #WADM #WePersist

JB Pritzker Has Had It With Democrats Who Won’t Stand Up to Trump

“This is exactly the moment for people to stand up. And do I see enough people doing it? No, I don’t. It shouldn’t be that there are Democrats that are afraid, because you know what? We’re the targets. We need to be strong, we need to fight back.”

Thank you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov!

Hope isn’t passive—it’s action.

We honor those who paved the way for progress by doing the daily work that hope demands.

For Jane—and for every trailblazer—we PERSIST.

Introducing Women that Work! Our new weekly series with @malyndahale.bsky.social highlighting women on the frontlines of the fight for democracy.

First up: @ashantigholar, President of @emergeamerica. One way to fight back is by electing leaders who put people over politics.

#WomenThatWork

Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House.
This is their shutdown. #WaitADamnMinute #WePersist

Our healthcare isn’t a bargaining chip. Release the files. Protect our care. Fund our government. #WePersist

This is a Republican-made shutdown. Trump’s spin can’t hide it: Americans will pay the price in lost paychecks, benefits, and health care. #WADM

No. Tylenol does not cause autism, and tonight’s rant from the White House was all politics, not science. Watch @katiephang.bsky.social break it down. Watch. Share. Spread truth further than their lies. #WePersist

Kamala Harris warned us. Trump just confirmed it. This administration is dangerous and focused on revenge — not the American people.

Speak up. Speak out. We can’t afford silence. #WePersist

This isn’t politics as usual.
It’s the destruction of democracy to protect the guilty.
We refuse to be silent.
We refuse to back down.
We PERSIST.

This moment demands action.

Speak out. And turn your anger into impact by supporting the American Civil Liberties Union and organizations on the frontlines of the fight to protect free speech. Together, we PERSIST.

Now more than ever, women need a safe space for politics.

We need a community—freed from algorithms and online hate.
We need truth—not disinformation.
We need collective action—tools to organize and mobilize.

That’s what we’re building at PERSIST.
