Today, on #internationalmigrantsday we celebrate migration as a powerful story of resilience, connection, and shared progress. It highlights the need for safer, fairer, and more inclusive migration systems, which often lack understanding, investment, and evidence to meet today’s challenges.

Michigan’s election system works: Clerks maintain accurate rolls, follow rigorous verification procedures and meet some of the nation’s highest security standards. The DOJ’s intrusion in state elections will only weaken elections by eroding voters’ trust.

Communities of color:
✅Make up around 60% of Texas’ population
✅Account for 95% of the state’s growth

Yet Texas’ new congressional gerrymander dilutes minority voting power, making it harder to elect candidates of their choice. That’s no accident.

Join us in celebrating the birthday of Mary Burnett Talbert (1866-1923). She believed that race and gender were unifying factors that could help resolve class issues. Talbert became one of the first women to join the NAACP after its founding in 1909.

I'm a Dad, and I know I'm not the only parent worrying about this. Our government should be making it easier for people—especially kids—to get vaccines that are proven to stop diseases and save lives.

RFK Jr. needs to stop messing with our public health. This isn't a game.

The panel will discuss the Covid-19, hepatitis B and the measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccines, as well as the RSV shot.
