Today is Native Women’s Equal Pay Day, which falls within Native American Heritage Month. As we honor the culture and contributions of Indigenous communities, we must also acknowledge the economic inequalities that Native women continue to face.

It’s not too late—we need to put pressure on these senators to fight for what’s right and PROTECT the 22 million Americans facing unaffordable health care costs. Text SHUTDOWN to 32434 to get directly connected to your senators.

URGENT: These senators just caved to Trump and advanced a measure that would leave 22 million Americans with astronomically high health care premiums. They know that this bill means millions of people will choose to go without health insurance, because they can’t afford it.

BREAKING: SCOTUS continues to bend the rule of law for Trump's fascist attacks, now by clearing the way for Trump's transphobic passport policy to resume.
This policy has nothing to do with security—it's simply another way for this administration to attack those it hates.

Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.

Trump sent troops from the National Guard to Chicago days ago, and they have unleashed havoc on the city. Troops have thrown gas canisters at protesters, deployed tear gas on streets w/ no warning, and raided apartments in the middle of the night, zip-tying children & separating them from families.

THESE ARE THE SENATORS THAT SUPPORT THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN. Trump and congressional republicans are pushing a bill that makes health care premiums higher, kicks people off of their insurance, and keeps cuts to Medicaid coverage. They're trying to steal from us to give more tax cuts to billionaires.

While Trump has no actual power to do this, it's telling that he wants to take the advice of a dictator to harm the integrity of our elections. Even though the courts will likely block this order, we should be horrified that he is attempting this at all.
This is a direct attack on democracy.

NEW: Today, Trump deployed the National Guard to our nation’s capital—and seized control of the local police force—using “rising crime” as the pretext for this power grab. The fact is that crime in Washington, D.C. has been at historic lows.

60 years ago, Medicaid was a promise to care for those most in need. Today, that promise is broken as it faces historic cuts.
From July 23-26, we're joining @caringacross.org for a 60-hour #ProtectMedicaid vigil on the National Mall—because care is not optional. RSVP: https://f.mtr.cool/kleguebkzz

BREAKING: The Supreme Court—without explanation—just cleared the way for the Trump administration to dismantle the Department of Education.
Rather than do its job in reining in Trump's extreme lawlessness, the Court has enabled it to continue.
This decision's damage will be felt for generations.

SHAME on every member of Congress who voted to put the interests of the ultra-wealthy over the most vulnerable.
They are responsible for the death & destruction everyday people will now face from their health care, food, and education being ripped away to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
