When officials sent Gregory Holt (Abdul Maalik Muhammad) 1,000 miles away in retaliation for his civil rights work, we sued — and after a two-day trial, the state agreed to bring him home. The message is clear: incarcerated people still have constitutional rights. ow.ly/r9wx50XrhsB

(1/6) Arkansas’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth is imminent after a recent court ruling. 🧵 Here’s what you need to know:

Public schools are not Sunday schools. #arpx #arnews

Heartbroken for trans youth and their families today. Courts should be protecting kids — not taking away the care they need to survive. We’ll keep fighting, alongside them, every step of the way. #arpx #arleg #arnews

Arkansas' law requiring the Ten Commandments in public schools is unconstitutional — and a federal court agrees.

We sent a letter to all superintendents in Arkansas warning them not to display the Ten Commandments in schools after a federal judge this week ruled that a state law requiring the displays is “obviously unconstitutional.” Every school district has an obligation to abide by the First Amendment.

New: We sent letters to Arkansas superintendents warning the Ten Commandments law is unconstitutional. The injunction covers four districts, but all schools must uphold students' constitutional rights. Parents: See posters? Contact us: bit.ly/3UMq03D Read the letter + release here: bit.ly/4mrxFjA

Public schools are not Sunday schools. This is a win for Arkansas families and religious freedom. #arnews #arpx #arleg

Blind allegiance to any politician is weird. They’re public servants — not celebrities, not your kids, and definitely not your team mascot. Politics isn’t a sport, and Trump’s not owed your unconditional defense. Hold all leaders accountable. That’s how democracy works.

The Trump administration’s attack on immigrants and due process is unconstitutional, un-American, and will not go unchallenged.

The 2025 Arkansas legislative session brought sweeping attacks on our rights — but Arkansans showed up. See what passed, what we stopped, and how we’re fighting back. Read our full recap: loom.ly/pf8WBJI #arleg #arpx #arnews

Our elected officials swore an oath to defend the constitution, not the Ten Commandments. Contact your reps today and ask them to oppose unconstitutional SB433.

Arkansas should move towards abolishing the death penalty — not expanding it.

Listening to #Skrmetti. Feeling sick. Politicians shouldn’t be controlling our families, our bodies, and our lives.

Great teachers change lives. Treating teachers with professional respect would help us recruit and retain great teachers. #arleg #arpx

If you’ve got a child in school, there’s a 95% chance they attend a public school. But vouchers defund public schools while sending billions to unaccountable private schools, home schools, and lavish "vendors" like horseback riding. They're welfare for the wealthy. #arleg #arpx
