Everybody should eat, not just billionaires.

42 million people rely on #SNAP to sustain their basic needs.

Please look up mutual aid networks in your community to help make sure we can all survive. We can eat together, learn together, and fight for our rights together.

In the bottom right corner there is a photo of democracy advocates of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds waving signs, speaking into bullhorns, and raising their fists.

Fair maps empower voters to choose their elected leaders, not the other way around.

Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Callais v. Louisiana case, and the incredible advocates and organizers at the Power Coalition for Equity and Justice showed up in full effect.✊🏾
Members of Louisiana’s Power Coalition for Equity and Justice gather for a group picture outside of the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. It’s bright and sunny outside. The advocates are dressed in business casual attire and holding blue signs that say “Your Voice is Your Vote and Your Power.” Members of Louisiana’s Power Coalition for Equity and Justice gather for a group picture outside of the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C.

We need real solutions and real change, not pocket change that traps us in the same paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. It’s time for working people to benefit from the economic growth that we power, every day.

“I might be in jail. I might be anywhere. But when I leave, you'll remember I said, with the last words on my lips, that I am a revolutionary."
-Fred Hampton

There is power in naming ourselves and living out our declarations. What is your “I am”?

The people of Louisiana are leading a powerful crusade for fair district maps and equitable representation for Black communities. The Fifth Circuit Court recently struck down a racially discriminatory map as it violates protections in the Voting Rights Act. Now the battle heads to the Supreme Court.

60 years ago, the #VotingRightsAct was passed, banning racial discrimination at the ballot box. Since then, our right to vote has continually been attacked.

Why? Because our vote is powerful. 🗳️ Check if your voter registration is up to date at Register.RockTheVote.com
