Voters choose our leaders — not the other way arou Voters choose our leaders — not the other way around.  Today, SCOTUS cleared the way for states to use DHS’s unreliable SAVE database to check voter registration lists — putting our voting rights and our privacy at risk.  SAVE was built to verify eligibility for government benefits, not to purge voters from the rolls. Expanding SAVE could mean eligible voters are wrongly flagged and removed from voter rolls, people’s sensitive information is exposed, and immigrants and mixed-status families’ personal data could be put in the hands of ICE.  This ruling won’t impact the midterms because states can’t legally carry out mass voter roll removals this close to election day. But it could shape how SAVE and voter rolls are handled in elections to come.  Trying to keep people from voting is a direct attack on our democracy. Full stop.  We won’t be intimidated. 
We will be heard at the ballot box. 
And we will protect our democracy.
Sixty-nine years ago, federal troops escorted nine Sixty-nine years ago, federal troops escorted nine Black students past a racist mob into Little Rock Central High School.  Today, Carlotta Walls LaNier is still calling on our country to break the cycle and fight for what we know is right.
Complete, accessible civil rights data on America' Complete, accessible civil rights data on America's students allows us to see what's happening in schools and push for change.  For over 50 years, parents have used this data to spot disparities in their kids' schools, researchers to track patterns across districts, and lawmakers to write better policy. This data is more than 6 months late and harder to understand.  Our kids deserve better. We demand data that's accessible, complete, and on time.
More than 41,000 Missourians on probation or parol More than 41,000 Missourians on probation or parole recently had their right to vote restored. Inez Bordeaux, a justice reform advocate, is helping people who were formerly incarcerated find jobs, housing, and the resources they need to succeed.  Use your voice and advocate for the changes you want to see, like ensuring voting rights restoration for the formerly incarcerated. Check your registration, make a plan, and bring a friend to vote.
Right now, AI industry leaders are warning us abou Right now, AI industry leaders are warning us about hypothetical future risks — cyberattacks and systems humans can't control. Those warnings deserve attention.  But there's a version of AI harm that isn't hypothetical. It's happening now: AI systems are denying people loans, screening out qualified job applicants, flagging people as potential criminals based on biased data, and spying on people in the name of cruel immigration enforcement.  Any guardrail serious about AI has to cover both — the harms we're bracing for, and the ones already harming vulnerable communities. It's on Congress to pass legislation that protects us from all of it.
Adam Abdullah has no criminal record. In December, Adam Abdullah has no criminal record. In December, ICE agents pulled him over in St. Paul at the start of Operation Metro Surge. Now, he’s being held at Guantanamo Bay.  This complete evasion of due process must end. We support the @ACLU_nationwide in demanding the courts end the practice of detaining immigrants beyond U.S. jurisdiction and put a stop to this absurd cruelty.
It's International Equal Pay Day, and the gender p It's International Equal Pay Day, and the gender pay gap is still very real.  Here in the U.S., the first Trump administration stopped pay data collection, and now they are taking down even basic demographic workforce data.  Since the 1960s, the EEOC has collected race, ethnicity and gender  data by job category to help assess equal opportunity in the workplace. Now, the EEOC is moving to eliminate those reports entirely. On top of that, the agency does not collect pay data to track pay disparities directly.  You can't close a gap you refuse to measure. Less data means less accountability. We demand transparency.
We know that abuelas hold endless wisdom. What you We know that abuelas hold endless wisdom. What you might not have known is how that wisdom can translate into our advocacy and the fight for a more just America.  This Hispanic Heritage Month, we can all afford to learn a thing or two from an abuela’s wisdom.
Lianyong Wi was found unresponsive at Saipan ICE d Lianyong Wi was found unresponsive at Saipan ICE detention facility after less than 24 hours in custody. He is the 57th person to die in ICE custody under this administration and the 26th person in 2026 alone.  That number is almost certainly an undercount. In June, DHS eliminated the requirement to report deaths occurring within 30 days of someone’s release from custody — meaning people who die shortly after they get out don’t make the official tally.  Erasing the count doesn't erase the deaths. DHS must restore adequate reporting requirements and open an independent investigation into every death this policy has left uncounted.
One of Trump’s desperate attempts to sabotage our One of Trump’s desperate attempts to sabotage our freedom to vote failed. The Supreme Court blocked new restrictions intended to keep voters from voting and votes from counting. Your freedom to vote the way that works best for you remains intact.  The principle is simple: Eligible voters should be able to participate freely — no unnecessary, last-minute barriers. Seniors, voters with disabilities, students, military families, and working people often rely on voting by mail to cast their ballot.  Nearly 47 million Americans (about 30% of voters) voted by mail in 2024. With protections intact, the only thing left to do is make your plan to vote:  🗳️ Drop box

On September 15, 1963, a bomb killed four girls ge On September 15, 1963, a bomb killed four girls getting ready for Sunday school at 16th Street Baptist Church: Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins, and Cynthia Wesley. They were 11 and 14 years old.  We honor these lives by refusing to let their story soften into a headline we repeat once a year. We honor them by continuing the fight they unknowingly died for — so that all voters of color have the right to have their voices heard in elections, to be fully recognized in the census, and to grow and prosper in a country founded on the promise of liberty and justice for all.
Registering to vote gives you the power to change Registering to vote gives you the power to change your everyday life. Yet millions of eligible Americans aren't registered, and many don't realize a move, a name change, or a voting roll purge knocked them off the rolls without warning.  This National Voter Registration Day, take two minutes to register or confirm your status at the link in our bio. 🔗 Then let your friends know to check too!

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.
