Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/FyiahsQe

This week marks five years since George Floyd was murdered at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department. His murder was not just an unmistakable act of police brutality, but an undeniable marker of the systemic anti-Black racism that has haunted America since the times of enslavement.

URGENT! The "nonprofit killer bill" is being voted on in House Ways & Means at 2p today (Tues). The bill gives the government sweeping power to strip 501(c)(3) status from any organization — no due process, no trial, just a designation.
Nonprofits are the heart of the resistance. PLS CALL & SHARE!
Nonprofits are the heart of the resistance. PLS CALL & SHARE!
WE NEED CALLS NOW! HR 9495, now known as Section 112209, if passed, would give the Trump administration unprecedented power in suppressing nonprofits, by allowing the administration the power to strip organizations of their tax exempt status!
