Black History Month is our time to highlight the beauty of our people and everything we’ve built, fought for, and carried forward.

"I cannot view the actions of ICE separate from the context of Black Codes or the Fugitive Slave Act. When I hear of masked men in unmarked cars snatching our neighbors from street corners, I imagine the position of my ancestors..." – LaDon Love, @spacesinaction.bsky.social #Defendthe14thAmendment

Here is our 2019 impact brief with @popdemoc.bsky.social outlining what this loss meant for CoreCivic and GEO Group: populardemocracy.org/sites/defaul...

Billions of dollars in opioid settlement funds from pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. must go to what's proven to work: ✅Harm reduction ✅Housing & support NOT: 🚫Prisons 🚫Family separation Read more from our grantee @popdemoc.bsky.social: populardemocracyinaction.org/publication/...

Happening now: Members of @wearecasa.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social @freedcproject.bsky.social Congregation Action Network and @domesticworkers.bsky.social are gathering to demand the Senate block all funding for DHS and ICE.

As the partial government shutdown drags on over DHS funding, Midwest advocates say it’s not just a budget fight—it’s about human dignity & constitutional rights. “Who gets to be human in the United States in the future.” —DaMareo Cooper (@popdemoc.bsky.social) #DHS #GovernmentShutdown #CivilRights

🚨Minneapolis 🚨 another murder by ICE funded by our tax dollars! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! #AbolishICE www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We showed up in DC today for Little v. Hecox because banning trans girls from school sports is discrimination, no matter how politicians try to dress it up. These laws weren’t based on evidence or real harm. They were based on fear.

"Organizations such as the @streetvendorproj.bsky.social and Make the Road NY have increased resources for street vendors & immigrants. These include legal & financial assistance, & #KnowYourRights trainings." ✊The most valuable defense our communities have against ICE is to know our rights!

🚨ACTON NEEDED: We demand that ICE #FreeAllan! On Monday, November 24th, just days before families across the country gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving, Allan, a gay man originally from the Cayman Islands was detained & separated from his husband following their marriage-based green card interview.

Earlier this month, we were proud to partner with @copalmn.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social @threewatersprt.bsky.social and @oilchange.bsky.social for a Movement to End Fossil Fuels training in Minneapolis! There'll be more trainings in other cities soon, so stay tuned!

“By exercising rights loudly, courageously, and openly, people protect them… [Trump's attacks on the 14th Amendment] serve to divide and distract people as the White wealthy class consolidates power. But just like those who walked before us, we can claim our rights.” —Analilia Mejía & DaMareo Cooper

"As organizers and practitioners of democracy, we must act every day to protect these invaluable rights—irrespective of race, class, or status. ...The 14th Amendment says freedom and dignity belong to all of us." nonprofitquarterly.org/why-we-must-...

Our leaders failed us — but our communities are fighting back.⁠ ⁠ Tonight, @reprokhanna joins us to break down what’s happening in Congress and how we organize for food, care, and dignity.⁠ ⁠ 🗓️ TONIGHT @ 7 PM ET — National Fight Back Call⁠ RSVP now @ link in bio.⁠ popdemoc.org/FightBack

SCOTUS just upheld marriage equality by refusing to revisit the 2015 ruling. Millions of LGBTQ+ Americans keep their right to marry. Love still wins. ❤️🌈 Text DEFEND to 25463 #LoveWins

Millions are losing healthcare today because of Republican cruelty and the cowardice of the eight Senate Democrats who voted with them.

We were proud to join @popdemoc.bsky.social and partners at today’s rally lifting up the stories of those that depend on the Affordable Care Act for affordable health care.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, today and EVERY DAY!

We're still celebrating and grieving the life of our North Star. Fly High Assata Olugbala Shakur 🕊

🦋 This weekend, we celebrated Mexican Independence Day with our NYC communities despite ICE’s pervasive presence & threats throughout our neighborhoods. Although these are dark times for our people, we will always show our pride for our culture & support one another.

Workers are about to see their health insurance costs go up by 5%. Employers will see 10% higher health insurance costs. That's because healthcare is being cut in order to send a six-figure tax break to each member of the richest 1%. I'm sure that'll be great for the economy.

This Thursday!!!

“Fascism is not new. It wears a new dress, buys new boots—but it can only reproduce fear, denial, and the loss of will to fight.” Toni Morrison’s timeless warning on fascism & censorship still rings out today. inthesetimes.com/article/toni...

Our schools and families are under attack.⁠ ⁠ The proposed federal budget slashes $12 billion from education and guts programs like Title I, after-school care, and teacher training. It also puts 18 million kids’ meals at risk.⁠

🏳️⚧️We’re kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating our resiliently beautiful Queer Latinx communities! 🫶 We are GRATEFUL to all the community members, panelists & organizations who participated & who continue to show up for our people!

🏘VICTORY! Tarrytown opts into #GoodCause with the strongest tenant protections possible. It will give power back to tenants by enabling them to fight for the living conditions they deserve, and protecting them from exorbitant rent increases, often used as unofficial eviction notices. ¡Sí se pudo!

Congress has already cut SNAP and Medicaid — now they’re setting their sights on housing and homeless assistance. These programs keep people housed and alive! More cuts will push more people into homelessness. #StopTheFederalCuts Contact your rep today: endhomelessness.org/action/act-n...

This event was FANTASTIC. Huge high five to @nywfp.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social Popular Democracy @jayapal.house.gov @mariajstephan.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social @velazquez.house.gov and EVERYONE who showed up! Photos to follow!

Earlier this week, UNE members joined @popdemoc.bsky.social in DC. While there, members met with representatives from Colorado, told their stories, and made clear what drastic cuts to housing programs would mean for their communities.

They want: 🚫 411k families evicted 🚫 Elders in unsafe homes 🚫 Disabled folks pushed into the militarized streets All to line billionaire landlord wallets + fund ICE and private prisons Join us to say NO TO HOUSING CUTS! #StopCutsToHousing #StopCutsToHUD

Tomorrow: We're working to stop the worst of Trump's spending bill. Join us and our friends at @popdemoc.bsky.social and @legaldefensefund.bsky.social to learn and strategize: www.mobilize.us/fww/event/83...

Trump tells Lies People Die That's all you really need to know. Repealing the entire Big BUGLY Bill is the only way. #StopCutsToHealthcare #RememberNextNovember

The money exists to resist authoritarianism and build something better. What’s missing isn’t resources—it’s imagination. Read Karundi Williams’ new op-ed: forgeorganizing.org/article/we-s...

MAGA is building the Klan 2.0. - Want to remove women’s right to vote - End marriage equality - Put troops and masked agents in our streets to racially profile and terrorize us

Jen Flynn Walker: We've been organizing people on Medicaid and people who rely on the ACA for years now. They're really facing the reality that they are in danger of losing all of their healthcare access, and it is not hyperbolic to say that if they lose their health care coverage, they will die.

The 14th Amendment changed the course of American history. It guarantees #BirthrightCitizenship, equal protection & due process. Now Trump, billionaires & extremist lawmakers want to dismantle it. We won’t stay silent. Take action and become a Defender 👉popdemoc.org/defendthe14th

Tenants nationwide rallied last week against federal housing cuts—demanding action on evictions, rent hikes, and unsafe homes. 📸 Big thanks to @NOLA Lens for the powerful photos. 🔗 bit.ly/45o47OF @nilhc.org | @pplsaction.bsky.social | @popdemoc.bsky.social‬ #TenantPower #HousingJustice

We’re living under billionaire rule. While we fight to stay fed, housed, and healthy, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Stephen Schwarzman CEO are rewriting the rules to get richer. Our new report “Trump’s Corporate Oligarchs” breaks it down. Get the receipts! 👉 popdemoc.org/trumps-oligarchs

"What they didn’t understand is that I had already been arrested. My mind, heart, and imagination had been arrested by this idea that we are much better than this and that the wealthiest country on the planet can afford to provide basic healthcare to all of its citizens." - @warnock.senate.gov

"In order to pay for the tax breaks for the billionaires and large corporations, they're going to war against low and working people." - @sanders.senate.gov #CareNotCuts #ProtectMedicaid

Our member Miriam shares her story in Washington DC to fight back against life-threatening cuts to care: “As a home health aide who works closely with elderly patients, our seniors rely on Medicaid and similar programs for survival. They need frequent medical care...” #NoMedicaidCuts #CareNotCuts

"Cuts to our healthcare system will kill people. In other words, that’s murder.” - @chuygarcia.house.gov #CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid

“The raids on immigrants across this country is directly tied to their attacks on Medicaid and Social Security. We have to stand up and fight back. We are not going to let our people be killed." - @jayapal.house.gov Let’s organize and say to them one final time: #HandsOffOurMedicaid

"The only way to beat a movement is with a movement. We're here today because we're going to match their energy. WE WON’T BACK DOWN!" - @pressley.house.gov #CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid

📢 HAPPENING NOW We’re rallying and making it clear: Healthcare Cuts Kill! As our Co-Executive Director Analilia Mejía says: “A society that denies its people healthcare is a cruel, shameful and disgusting one.” #CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid

Buenos días!☀️ Today, our health team & members are joining @popdemoc.bsky.social and hundreds of community members and allies in Washington DC to demand #CareNotCuts to the lifesaving programs our communities need to survive. Our health. Our dignity. Our lives.

HEALTH CARE IS A PUBLIC GOOD — not a luxury for the rich. That’s why today we are with @popdemoc.bsky.social to call on Congress to protect what’s ours: Medicaid, Medicare, Reproductive care, the ACA. #CareNotCuts
