“Regardless of your race, ZIP code, or bank account, we need the government to make sure we are getting the health care, education, and other services we all need.“ @mayawiley of @civilrightsorg pressley.house.gov/2025/07/24/pre…
"[Joshua Divine's] limited legal career is disqualifying. Our courts, our communities, and our democracy deserve better." Lena Zwarensteyn of @civilrightsorg commondreams.org/news/joshua-di…
The Trump administration is sharing confidential tax records with ICE and DHS to target immigrants for deportation. Public trust in our tax system is being weaponized—and families are at risk. This is a dangerous breach of privacy. propublica.org/article/trump-…
This is a country that is for ALL of us. Listen as @mayawiley explains why diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are essential to every person in this country. Thank you, Rep. @ayannapressley, for giving us the space to explain the importance of this matter.
DHS, under Kristi Noem, has violated constitutional rights, misused force, and ignored court orders. This is a crisis. Not leadership. Congress must investigate DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and hold her accountable. Read our full letter to Congress: tinyurl.com/2pemfu49

"Native people are still working to revitalize what the United States tried to erase. Native mascots work directly against these efforts by perpetuating false historical narratives about Native people and false depictions of who Native people are today." usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
We are deeply concerned by the Trump administration’s decision to release FBI records related to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This action disregards the privacy and dignity of a man who dedicated his life to justice and equality. civilrights.org/2025/07/22/the…
“When the government uses its power to punish organizations for their advocacy, it attacks freedom of speech and freedom of association, threatening any person or group who wishes to educate the public and make demands of elected leaders.” Read more: civilrights.org/resource/defen…

Emil Bove is beyond unfit to serve in a lifetime judgeship, as @SenBooker explains, and should not be in public office. Period. Senators must take their constitutional responsibility seriously and reject his nomination for the Third Circuit: p2a.co/teso5tl
Bove does not meet the "basic requirements" to be a federal judge, including being "fair-minded, well-qualified, and committed to civil and human rights." Our senators must vote no on his nomination! commondreams.org/news/emil-bove…
17 million Americans who rely on Medicaid & ACA plans could lose their health coverage by 2034. Health care is a right—not a privilege. We must act now to protect these lifelines. theconversation.com/how-17m-americ…
The United States, and Black people in particular, are living in a “state of emergency” as the Trump administration and many in corporate America seek to obliterate diversity, equity and inclusion gains. signalcleveland.org/black-america-…
Health care is a human right and giving ICE our personal data puts our access to health care at stake. We'll say it again: Data seizures like these don't just hurt immigrants, they hurt us all. Congress must step up and protect our data from abuse! apnews.com/article/immigr…
AI shouldn't amplify the views of racist tech billionaires. It can and should work for EVERYONE, which is why we've created the Innovation Framework - a tool for companies to secure civil rights in AI. Learn more: InnovationFramework.org.
The agency of mask-wearing officers who aren’t afraid to smash windows, detain lawmakers and pluck nonviolent undocumented immigrants off the street is about to become the best-funded federal police force. cnn.com/2025/07/09/pol…
The Trump administration just moved to end TPS protections for people from Honduras & Nicaragua — putting thousands at risk of deportation and tearing families apart. Lives and communities are on the line. wapo.st/4obhHfx
America doesn't have kings, and federal judges will continue to use their power to check the executive branch. reuters.com/legal/governme…
The administration’s efforts, fueled by Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, have rattled state and local election officials from both parties who have spent years contending with threats, harassment, and litigation. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
#BreonnaTaylor should be alive, and we can’t look away. Her life, Black lives, are worth more than a day. Police must be accountable. This isn’t accountability! nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/…
The Senate will soon vote on confirmation of Joshua Divine to a lifetime federal judgeship in Missouri. In his very limited legal career, he has demonstrated significant hostility to our civil and human rights. Senators must vote NO. civilrights.org/resource/the-l…
