Happy Birthday 14th Admendment. We stand by equal protection under the law. Periodt.

An extrajudicial nightmare unfolding in our cities, worse than purging voters, purging people. STOP ICE NOW.

#Juneteenth is more than a proclamation; it’s a blueprint for building power in the face of justice delayed. Black communities didn’t wait for freedom then, and we aren't waiting now. Read our latest blog: www.demos.org/blog/legacy-...

ICE does not belong in the United States of America.

Sorry. This is very raw. But what’s happening in LA right now is absolutely horrific. #iceraids

When people said “abolish ICE,” this is why. The politicians from both parties who called that “radical,” blindly funded them and called it “immigration reform,” because they were getting campaign donations from the corporations getting ICE contracts. And now we’re here.
