A government that cages children, denies them medical care, and subjects them to inhumane conditions is choosing cruelty. Every child deserves dignity, safety, and freedom. Free the children. End family detention. Shut down Dilley.

This is what happens when you slash agencies responsible for keeping food safe. By cutting staff at the FDA & CDC, eliminating key food safety programs, & reducing disease surveillance, Trump is putting public health at risk. Government should protect people, not corporations.

DHS has received billions while agents violate constitutional rights and murder people with little to no accountability. Abolishing ICE means dismantling the agency enabling its reign of terror and reimaging what safety and security actually looks like.

Borders should not determine someone's humanity. Regardless of Republicans' lies, the facts are the same. These ICE facilities are inhumane, dangerous, and a cruel punishment for people simply wanting a better life for their family.

This Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we recognize that Black women only earn a fraction of what white men earn. As Trump dismantles tools that promote equal opportunity, Black women are paying the price. Erasing the data won't erase discrimination. We're fighting back.

Modern healthcare was built on the exploitation of Black bodies, from nonconsensual experiments on enslaved women to the theft of Henrietta Lacks’ cells. Now, Republicans call efforts to level the playing field “DEI” instead of addressing the inequities they helped create.
