58 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled on the side of our clients Mildred and Richard Loving, legalizing interracial marriages nationwide.

This Loving Day, we honor the generations of families who were torn apart by anti-miscegenation laws and celebrate the couple that changed history.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

Dear Canada 🇨🇦 we love you and are proud to have you as our ally to the north. Stay exactly as you are. Trump’s nonsense about merging with the USA is absurd and doesn’t speak for us.
