Just Democracy

“Our daughter Yolanda Renee King had more rights on the day that she was born in 2008 than in 2022.” -@ArndreaKing We must use our voices and keep working to protect our voting rights for the next generation. essence.com/news/i-have-a-…

59 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. challenged America to live up to its promise and called for voting rights for all during the March on Washington. Now, the fight for our voting rights is as paramount as it ever was. We must stand up and make our voices heard.

With the news that the Supreme Court has decided to overturn Roe v. Wade, our nation failed yet again to protect Black and Brown communities. Abortion rights are racial justice rights. Now is the time to fight like hell for reproductive justice. justdemocracy.us/scotus-abortio…

The Supreme Court has failed once again to protect people – recklessly striking down a law that would tighten gun control in a country reeling from mass shootings. It’s clear this institution is broken. We must #ExpandTheCourt.

Today the Supreme Court ruled in favor of an NRA-filed Second Amendment case that can gut America's gun laws. While that might sound terrifying and discouraging, it just emphasizes why we must continue to fight in our communities to end this public health crisis.

TOMORROW: Every day, 22 kids are shot. Doctors, teachers, students, school nurses + more are refusing to stay silent. We’re telling the Senate: #DontLookAway. Join us, @ATFUnion @ThisIsOurLane @team_enough @AMarch4OurLives & more in D.C. 🔗bradyunited.org/june10

Gun violence prevention advocates like Pam Bosley know we cannot address gun violence in this country until we eliminate the filibuster. We must change the system to save lives.

The racist shooting in Buffalo has made it clear that white supremacy, violence, and legislative inaction on gun violence is killing our Black and Brown communities. We can’t accept that. We must #AbolishTheFilibuster to save lives.

This moment demands that we fight for a future where abortion care is there for everyone who needs it. We know #AbortionJustice can’t wait. Join us to demand #BansOffOurBodies TODAY: Bansoff.org

“The same lawmakers stopping Black and brown people from voting are placing bans on our bodies.” - @Tammiekboyd from @blkwomenshealth Democracy reform & abortion access are inextricably linked – and we need to fight like hell to advocate for both of them. huffpost.com/entry/fix-our-…

BREAKING: The Senate has failed to pass legislation to protect access to abortion. It’s time we use all of the tools at our disposal – including the elimination of the filibuster – to fight for abortion justice. thehill.com/news/senate/34…

Tonight we saw a draft of how SCOTUS plans to vote to overturn Roe. We saw how this rigged Court will give states the power to inhibit the healthcare and autonomy of Black and Brown people. Tomorrow we take to the steps of the Supreme Court to demand accessible abortion for all:

NEW: We've released a memo breaking down recent polling that shows most registered voters demonstrate public dissatisfaction with #SCOTUS & believe that increasing the number of justices on the Court would strengthen democracy. Read the full memo: takebackthecourt.today/memo-recent-po…

🎉 BREAKING: It’s official. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has become the first Black woman to sit on our nation’s highest court. This is both a historic and an overdue moment in our country as we continue to work towards equal justice. cnn.com/politics/live-…

History is being made today.

This is great news! In a state where 90% of voters vote by mail, it is critical that we push back against Republican voter suppression tactics that aim to curb early access to the ballot box. Every Arizonan deserves to have their voices heard. thehill.com/news/3260195-a…

“The nation’s most severe attack on our sacred freedom to vote is happening right here in Arizona.” 📰 Read @Channel_Az and @AnvshkaSarkar’s insightful op-ed about the importance of Arizona in the battle for our democracy. azmirror.com/2022/04/04/ari…

Thank you to the activists on the ground who continue to show up and lead the fight against inequality. ✊🏾 At a moment and in a state where elected officials continue to target Black, Indigenous, Brown, and our transgender communities – your perseverence is a shining light.

Gov. Ducey’s bill is a blatant attempt to limit Arizonans’ access to the ballot box. Let us be clear: This form of voter suppression is a racist attack on Black, Indigenous, and Brown voters. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/m…
