💥 At a time when Trump and his allies are rolling back civil rights protections, undermining accountability, and openly rejecting human rights and international norms, we must be vigilant. Protecting the rule of law and advancing a more comprehensive justice narrative is more critical than ever.

💡 U.S. initiatives can and should be connected to global human rights and transitional justice norms, creating opportunities to learn from international experiences while adapting them to local realities.

💡 Without federal leadership, funding, and a unifying national narrative, these important efforts will remain piecemeal and unable to fully address systemic injustices.
