the link here works even if you don't have TikTok, and you can listen to what sounds like two mild-mannered retired high school teachers describe how encountering ICE has motivated them to mobilize even harder against its injustices
This one isn’t downloadable but if you have TikTok go watch it. Well worth your time www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr4gRL7v/

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.
These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.
Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP.
Republicans' budget guts both programs.
Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.
