Freedom of speech extends to speech we do not like and to offensive speech. It is the very foundation of our democracy. The #NOPEAct seeks to protect #FreeSpeech. Our leaders do not have the right to dictate to us what to say or think.

287(g) agreements incentivize local police to engage in racial profiling and target our immigrant loved ones and neighbors. These agreements have no place in our communities. Tell Congress to put a stop to ICE's dangerous 287(g) program now. action.aclu.org/send-message...

Mid cycle redistricting?

High rents and insufficient wages contribute to the housing gap for low-income renters. You need to earn $33.63/hr to afford a 2-BR & $28.17/hr to afford a 1-BR. Are wages keeping pace w/ high costs in your state? #OOR25 nlihc.org/oor
