“Birthright citizenship was never an abstract ideal. It was a response to America's long history of dehumanization—a past that Trump and his MAGA allies are now openly trying to resurrect.” — @DaMareo_Cooper nationaltoday.com/us/ca/san-fran…

If the court strikes down birthright citizenship, it would let the government decide who counts as American based on the circumstances of their birth, writes @DaMareo_Cooper of @popdemoc. commondreams.org/opinion/birthr…

"[Dred Scott] was an attempt to imagine a kind of citizenship based on parentage that would exclude a whole caste of people. And that is exactly what the 14th Amendment rejected." motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Every day we continue to see our constitutional rights shredded under this administration. Birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection aren't up for debate. We must defend the 14th Amendment.

Here is our 2019 impact brief with @popdemoc outlining what this loss meant for CoreCivic and GEO Group: populardemocracy.org/sites/default/…

We’re at St. Mark’s Church NOW because they’re using ICE to attack our 14th Amendment Rights. We’re live now in D.C. to demand our leaders take a stand against ICE before it’s too late. Watch live: facebook.com/events/1637317… #IceOutNow

With Federal labor protections under threat, my EmPIRE Act is NY’s answer to confronting rampant wage theft. By giving workers real tools to recover stolen pay, we are ensuring real accountability & stronger enforcement. Read @hughbaran op-ed on why we must pass the EmPIRE Act

Donald Trump's executive order challenging birthright citizenship also endangers the 14th Amendment guarantees of due process and equal protection. Thanks to @popdemoc for joining me on @blkagendareport radio. blackagendareport.com/protecting-14t…

Partial government shutdown + DHS funding fight isn’t “just budget math,” Midwest advocates say—it’s about human dignity and constitutional rights: buff.ly/lcl495y “Who gets to be human in the United States in the future.” —DaMareo Cooper, @popdemoc #DHS #ICE

@popdemoc Popular Democracy (@popdemoc) says fear is real as enforcement talk ramps up—but calls for courage and is launching a national campaign tied to 14th Amendment rights & birthright citizenship cases: buff.ly/lcl495y #14thAmendment #BirthrightCitizenship

ICE will only continue to abduct and murder our community members just like it happened today! ☎️CALL TO DEFUND ICE popdemoc.org/defundice

Now, Democrats and Republicans in Congress are planning to give ICE MORE money! The proposed 2026 fiscal year funding bill includes: $400M more for detention $370M more for enforcement

🚨Minneapolis 🚨 another murder by ICE funded by our tax dollars! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! #AbolishICE motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Showing up together matters. These attacks depend on isolation and silence. Collective presence, public solidarity, and refusing division are how rights get defended in real time.

This case isn’t really about sports. It’s about whether equal protection still applies when the people affected are trans kids. Whether civil rights laws mean what they say when it’s inconvenient, or only when it’s easy.

We showed up in DC today for Little v. Hecox because banning trans girls from school sports is discrimination, no matter how politicians try to dress it up. These laws weren’t based on evidence or real harm. They were based on fear.
