We joined 1,000+ organizations in calling for an immediate halt to all funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Congress has both the responsibility and the power to stop funding these deadly operations until the violence, abuses, and deaths end — and there is real accountability for the harm caused.

When people can’t afford food, the costs don’t disappear — they just get shifted onto hospitals, schools, local economies, and lost potential. SNAP isn’t wasteful. The cost of not providing food assistance is.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Disinformation is reshaping public opinion, policy & culture in real time. AI, social media algorithms are accelerating the spread of false narratives and making it harder to get the truth out, build trust & advance justice. We need to treat media literacy like the civic survival skill that it is.

A relevant message from James Baldwin for these times: "I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope."
