“The real question is: who has the responsibility to uphold human rights? The answer to that is: everyone.”

I met a scientist who is getting her PhD at Georgetown doing research on multiple sclerosis. In town for a wedding. She joined today’s NYC March. She told me about a colleague who does research on dementia and Alzheimer’s and lost their research grant because it had “diversity” in the title.

Under the voter suppression bill, the SAVE Act, registering & staying registered to vote would be much harder for millions of eligible citizens.

It passed the House this morning and is going to the Senate next. We need to tell our Senators to STOP it!

Tell your Senators: Stop the SAVE Act!
The SAVE ACT is a voter suppression bill, pure and simple. It does nothing to safeguard our elections.

I do not consent.

“All power-holders, even the most ruthless and corrupt, rely on the consent and coöperation of ordinary people,” Maria J. Stephan, who co-authored a book with Chenoweth titled “Why Civil Resistance Works,” said.
