BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

"This piece is about resistance and hope. Though inspired by familiar iconography and the poem The New Colossus, it rejects the notion that American values are inherent or guaranteed. They are not just words etched into monuments, but ideas that must be actively carried, protected, and defended."

Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.

The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.

It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

Our thoughts are with the descendants and community as Mother Fletcher has joined her late brother, Hughes β€˜Uncle Redd’ Van Ellis, and the generations of survivors and descendants who left this world still waiting on justice.⁠

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.

Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.

We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.
