It's been 2 weeks since ICE agents forcefully separated Yuanxin from his father Fei, and there are still no answers on the boy's location or if the family will be reunited. Their community gathered at Yuanxin's school to denounce ICE's horrific tactics and call for the family's immediate release. 🧵⬇️

If the Supreme Court guts Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, minority voting power could be diluted nationwide through racial gerrymandering. We stand ready to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Pennsylvanians to strengthen voting power and strike down discrimination with bold and creative advocacy.

Georgia has turned back the clock on democracy by making it easier to remove eligible voters from the rolls and needlessly punishing unhoused voters with additional voting restrictions.
SB 189 is a textbook violation of the National Voter Registration Act. We'll see Georgia in court.

The administration's agenda of mass deportations and racial profiling is directly impacting student safety. When young people don't feel safe at school, immigrant families step back from the school system which is an essential pillar of community support. Schools must remain sanctuaries of learning.
