There’s nothing more American than working toward a better future for everyone who lives in the United States. As you gather with friends and family this holiday weekend, here’s some conversation starters to help you think about what brighter tomorrow can look like.

The Trump-Vance admin wants USPS to create new lists tracking mail-in and absentee voters that undermine voting rights and uniquely endanger survivors of domestic violence who need address privacy. We've submitted a letter urging the admin to back down and protect voting access for all.

“You see this president seeking to exert a large amount of executive power and to do it not in service of major initiatives that are going to make life less expensive for people … but to do it in service of his own vanity.” - @skyeperryman.bsky.social

July is Disability Pride Month! This year’s theme is “The World Works Better With Us”– a powerful way to celebrate how the contributions, accomplishments, and advocacy from the disability community have built and continue to build toward a more inclusive society.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin over unlawful policies that threaten to strip tens of thousands of asylum seekers and TPS holders of their ability to work, support their families, and remain safely in the United States. We will see them in court.

On its 250th birthday, the United States is at an inflection point. But we’ve been here before. And however you feel about our flag right now – angry, proud, afraid, hopeful – we can use this moment to build something greater.

More than 60 years ago, the Civil Rights Act became law to protect against voter discrimination, desegregate schools, and ban race- and sex-based employment discrimination. As our civil rights face growing threats, we’re reminded this is an old fight in a new time.

Seven former federal employees signed on to a public letter opposing the Trump-Vance admin’s destructive agenda *in their personal capacities* which is First Amendment-protected speech. EPA leadership ignored internal legal advice and fired the employees in retaliation. We will see them in court.

The FHFA is dragging its feet in complying with the law and producing Director Bill Pulte’s communications with the White House. We just asked a court to demand the Trump-Vance admin turn over these records – and we’ll keep holding them accountable in court.

Our team is in court today to protect East Potomac Park, which President Trump is trying to convert from a public recreation space into an exclusive, high-end golf course for his rich friends.

As the nation celebrates its 250th year, it’s critical to remember the rights that all of us are entitled to under the law. Go to weholdtruths.org to join the movement.

We knew the Trump-Vance administration’s attempts to gut vital funding were both arbitrary and capricious – this week the court agreed.

On our nation’s 250th year, we must, as @skyeperryman.bsky.social writes, "make a mutual pledge to be part of the movement to achieve true democracy — not to restore old systems that weren’t made to hold all of us but to reimagine new ones where we become our better angels.”

A new regulation for the Child Care and Development Fund threatens to raise childcare costs for low income families and hurt smaller childcare providers. We will meet the Trump-Vance admin in court to fight their attempt to destroy equal access to affordable, high-quality childcare.

Trump’s Department of Education and Secretary Linda McMahon tried to politicize the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program by only allowing employers who agreed with the administration’s agenda to qualify. We sued, and today, we won on behalf of nonprofits, local governments, and labor unions.

NEWS → SCOTUS declines Trump-Vance admin’s shadow-docket request, leaving protections for Copyright Office leadership in place. The Court’s decision in our case is about more than an individual position or agency – it’s about ensuring the president cannot sidestep Congress to seize more control.

Trump-Vance admin officials didn’t learn their lesson with Signal the first time – the records we just uncovered show that. We will keep revealing the truth about this administration’s actions and attempts to hide them from the American people.

SCOTUS's decision allowing bans on transgender women and girls participating in school sports is a painful setback to trans rights, Title IX, and equality. As Justice Sotomayor said, sports are about more than just winning. We will continue fighting to protect the dignity of the trans community.

Today, the majority of Supreme Court justices reaffirmed what should never have been up for debate: if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. We applaud @aclu.org for putting an end to the President’s racist, anti-immigrant, and un-American attempt to overturn birthright citizenship.

A majority of justices on the Supreme Court rightly reaffirmed one of the Constitution's clearest and most enduring promises: if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. As America celebrates 250 years, this win affirms that the Constitution belongs to everyone.

If President Trump and Stephen Miller want to stand ten toes down on expanding denaturalization efforts – they should have no problem answering to the public. We will see them in court.

Our Civil Service Strong team, @protectdemocracy.org, and a coalition of nonprofits are joining together to stand up for federal workers against this proposed NDA requirement. The rule would violate federal workers' First Amendment rights and create a culture of fear. Read our comment below ⬇️

WIN: A federal court ruled in our favor and rejected the Dept of Ed's effort to impose unlawful barriers on people seeking graduate degrees in nursing, public health, education, and more – and told the agency to look again at the instructions that Congress gave.

In a win for voting rights, SCOTUS upheld a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted if they were postmarked by Election Day. CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social to discuss how the Trump-Vance admin keeps losing in court – and the people keep winning.

We’re investigating the Trump-Vance admin over a series of recent arrests made at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. President Trump is threatening years in prison for those arrested. We’re working to uncover any White House directives sent to the Marshals Service regarding arrests in the area.

BREAKING: Supreme Court blocks President Trump’s unlawful and retaliatory firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Another day, another loss for Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

The president can keep talking, but as always, we'll see his team in court this week.

57 years ago today, people at Stonewall refused to accept injustice. Pride was born from protest—not celebration alone—and reminds us that lasting progress has always come from people showing up, defending our communities, and demanding better.

As we approach July 4, we are reminded that democracy is never guaranteed. It requires demanding that all people be represented — and that we show up.

Trump's voter suppression scheme lost this week. Alongside our co-counsel on behalf of @lwv.org, we sued on his admin’s effort to purge voter rolls — and won.

I was honored to speak at LULAC’s Women’s Hall of Fame Luncheon last week in Fort Worth. @lulacorg.bsky.social is setting an example for us all in building solidarity and driving impact. Thank you for having me.

We refuse to allow President Trump and Stephen Miller’s racist, white nationalist, anti-immigrant agenda to continue moving in the dark. We’re in court to force the release of records detailing denaturalization initiatives, litigation, agency coordination, and communications among senior officials.

SCOTUS' decision in Obergefell v. Hodges affirmed what should never have been up for debate: LGBTQ+ Americans are entitled to equal protection under the law. Today's anniversary is both a celebration of the joy and resilience of our communities – and a reminder that progress made must be defended.

The DOJ is demanding full voter rolls—including driver’s licenses and partial social security numbers—from almost every state. So far, 16 states have turned over voter data. We're in court on behalf of @brennancenter.org to force transparency on attempts to undermine the right to vote.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social's “Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times” is about reclaiming our collective power by fostering community, courage, and joy in an unreal time. Pre-order your copy today: ordinarypeopleaction.com

USA soccer player Folarin Balogun is the epitome of why birthright citizenship matters: opening doors and creating opportunities to help our nation reach new heights. Attempts to upend birthright citizenship are unlawful and un-American. Team USA will show what unity looks like tonight.

Senior Counsel, Cortney, breaks down our recent court win blocking the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful attempt to strip lifesaving access to health care from millions of Americans.

President Trump’s slush fund will continue failing in court because it is illegal – point blank period. We’re glad yet another judge saw through the admin’s backtracking, misleading, and conflicting remarks and is – yet again – holding them accountable. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today SCOTUS issued a decision that will put even more people and families in harm’s way. On the 250th anniversary of the United States, our executive branch is abandoning asylum seekers. We call on all Americans to demand that our government protect the families the Court turned its back on today.

It does require that we, the people do the work to demand they deliver - that they be more perfect. My take, part of @msmagazine.com ‘s series commemorating the nation’s 250th and calling us to look forward: shorturl.at/mu8Fw

On the anniversary of Dobbs and in the aftermath of the decimation of section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, we should remember that our Constitution does not require that we, the people protect failing institutions. 1/

The Trump-Vance admin’s annual staffing plan cut FEMA in half. The admin started to implement that plan – until our litigation stopped it.  We’re in court to make sure it stays that way.

DHS is refusing to release records about an unlawful anti-protester database designed to punish people for exercising their First Amendment rights – a tactic that ICE agents have been threatening protesters with for months. We're suing on behalf of @theintercept.com to expose the truth.

The anniversary of the SCOTUS decision to upend reproductive health care in Dobbs v. Jackson will always serve as a stark reminder that our work is not finished. The right to bodily autonomy is not a radical idea. We'll keep fighting until all people are guaranteed that basic human right.

Donald Trump wants us to feel powerless – but we’re not. When we speak up and show up for one another – even in the face of authoritarianism – we prove that the people have the power.

“As the Trump-Vance administration continues its attack on the right to vote, this is an important victory for the American people and our democracy.” - @skyeperryman.bsky.social

Housing should be a human right. But, yet again, this administration is threatening to push 96,000 people out of their homes and back onto the streets. We’ve stopped these unlawful attempts before and we will do it again.

Today marks the anniversary of the SCOTUS decision in Olmstead v. Lois Curtis, which rejected the institutionalization of people with disabilities and held states must provide services in the most integrated setting appropriate. Daily reminder: Disability rights are human rights.

Said it before and will say it again: if you don’t fight, you can’t win. BREAKING: our team at @democracyforward.org and friends at @citizensforethics.org and Fair Elections Center secured an order blocking the Trump admin’s efforts to use people’s personal data to threaten the right to vote.
