For generations, everyday people have changed the For generations, everyday people have changed the course of this country by organizing, marching, and voting. Progress has always been won when people who have been pushed aside come together, claim their power, and demand to be heard.  Oct 17. Vote early. Find your local mobilization at the link in our bio.
Indi Veitia filed for asylum in 2019 and was told Indi Veitia filed for asylum in 2019 and was told she could stay in the U.S. while her case was reviewed. Last month, plain-clothed ICE agents detained her on a work trip, pinning her to the wall of a jet bridge at the airport.  Veitia details the inhumane conditions she faced in detention, including 50 degree rooms, being forced to eat and drink with her hands, and having to wear questionable, used uniforms.  Her story is heartbreaking, but her strength and the support from her community show that our resilience cannot be broken.  ICE cannot break our will to fight for what is right.
The administration is using the DOJ as a political The administration is using the DOJ as a political weapon. Now it wants to flood polling places with more monitors than ever before — betting that will make people think twice about showing up.  We’re betting against them. Our vote is our power, and we're going to use it.
Flock cameras are surveilling Black communities at Flock cameras are surveilling Black communities at nearly four times the rate of white ones.  At the same time, there are more than 40 cases of police officials being accused of misusing surveillance for personal use, including stalking women and tracking colleagues' cars.  This is a dangerous step in the rise of surveillance and unregulated technology in policing.  Black communities deserve real safety, investment, and accountability — not a 24/7 watchdog.
Civil rights leader Bishop William J. Barber II re Civil rights leader Bishop William J. Barber II reminds us that the generational fight for our voting rights demands action. He echoes the words of Mavis Staples: "It's not the waking, it's the rising."  This November, we will rise and use the power of our vote that our ancestors fought and bled for.
@StaceyAbrams joined @higherlearning to say out lo @StaceyAbrams joined @higherlearning to say out loud what we know to be true: Voter ID laws were never about identification. They're about building a system to "filter out the people they don't like."  The SAVE Act follows the same blueprint.  Don't let restrictive rules decide who gets heard — know your state's voting rules and make a plan to vote.
ICE's cruel mandatory detention policy — jailing p ICE's cruel mandatory detention policy — jailing people without bond while their immigration case is pending — has been rejected by courts almost everywhere it's been challenged.  Yet a few Trump-appointed judges keep siding with the administration, letting that cruelty continue.  Justice isn’t supposed to be a coin flip.
71 years ago today, the murder of Emmett Till forc 71 years ago today, the murder of Emmett Till forced the country to reckon with hateful violence it had long allowed to go unanswered. His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, insisted on an open casket at his funeral so the country could see how gruesome, hate-fueled violence had left her son disfigured and unrecognizable. It still had no effect on the alll-white jury that would acquit the killers of their crime.  It took nearly seven decades, and more than 200 failed attempts in Congress, before the Emmett Till Antilynching Act finally made lynching a federal hate crime in 2022.  Honoring Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley means more than remembering their story. It means continuing the fight for justice and protection for everyone.

Robert Dillon was arrested for a crime that happen Robert Dillon was arrested for a crime that happened over 300 miles away from his home, in a town he’d never been to, based on a facial recognition match. While the charges were dropped weeks later, it took Dillon nearly a year to clear his record.  Our civil rights are sacred. They shouldn't hinge on whether an algorithm gets it right. We need limits on this technology before it costs more people their freedom.
Two days before he died in ICE custody, Edwin Lope Two days before he died in ICE custody, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo told his mother he'd lost feeling on the right side of his face and hand and was waiting on additional tests. In his two months at Delaney Hall, he reportedly stopped receiving medication he needed for his diabetes, high blood pressure, and epilepsy.  He collapsed on August 1 and died after a medical emergency ICE has yet to explain.  He's one of at least 34 deaths in ICE custody since October of 2025.  This administration must be held accountable for what happens to people in its custody and put an end to ICE's cruelty.

Spread the word

Did you know that millions of Americans can’t access the democratic process because of solvable problems in how elections are run? These problems aren’t felt equally across communities – voters of color are 6x more likely than White voters to wait longer than an hour to vote, even in the same town. Spread the word to help defeat barriers to the ballot box.
