Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a holiday where we reflect on the liberation of enslaved Black people in our country. Juneteenth is a celebration, but it also serves as a reminder that over a 100 years later, we continue to fight for promised freedoms and against racial inequities.

Make the Road States strongly opposed the travel ban in the first Trump administration and we oppose it as vehemently today.
Diversity is what makes this country strong and healthy - this latest move from the Trump administration ignores this.

Today, the House approved of a plan that sends billions of dollars to supplement unjust mass deportations while decimating crucial programs that provide basic health care and food assistance to children.
Senate members must stop this dangerous bill and protect our most vulnerable communities!

After hours of detainment, Newark Mayor Baraka has been released.
This arrest is shameful. @maketheroadnj.bsky.social has been at Delaney Hall demanding accountability since day one and we will continue to fight back against any attempts to make New Jersey a mass deportation zone.

We’re ready to fight back.

@MtrStates celebrates yesterday's ruling temporarily blocking Trump's order to end birth right citizenship.
President Trump can't rewrite the Constitution or decide who is "American enough" for citizenship. Our courts will continue to stop Trump from carrying out his fascist agenda.
