Black History Month began 100 years ago as Negro History Week. Carter G. Woodson created this week to correct the record of Black contributions.
A century later, the fight to tell the full truth about our history continues.
This month, we honor the legacy. And we protect it.

10 years ago, a gunman opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, killing 49 people in a targeted attack on the LGBTQ community. We honor the victims by refusing to accept a world of hatred and by fighting for justice and full LGBTQ equality. shorturl.at/2THng

#OnThisDay in 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that the freedom to marry belongs to all Americans. Love is not a privilege. It is a right. This Pride Month, we keep fighting to make that true for everyone.

This money will allow ICE to continue to terrorize communities, defy our courts, and operate with zero accountability.
Fund healthcare. Fund housing. Fund food assistance. That’s how you support American communities.

Kimberlee Williams' case is not an anomaly. Unchecked facial recognition technology is a civil rights crisis hiding behind the language of innovation. aclu.org/cases/kimberlee-wil…

Last week, our coalition came together at the We the Majority Reception to recommit to the fight ahead. We, the Majority, refuse to let coordinated attacks on our civil rights go unanswered. United and undefeated, we are building a better future.

.@SPLCenter is being targeted not because it’s dangerous, but because it’s an effective civil rights org. Today’s hearing is a distraction. 55 years of civil rights work will not be undone.

The World Cup kicks off this week. Instead of welcoming the world, the Trump administration is turning host cities into enforcement zones—refusing to guarantee that fans and residents won't be swept up in deportation operations. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Today we remember James Byrd Jr., dragged to his death by white supremacists because he was Black. His murder gave us the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Sadly, laws aren't enough. As the Trump regime ignores hate-fueled violence, we must demand it enforce them. #JamesByrdJr

Black workers’ power at the ballot box is their power in the workplace.
We’re demanding Congress restore the full protections of the VRA, fair redistricting, and an end to maps drawn to silence communities of color. forbes.com/sites/janicegassa…

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow Alabama’s discriminatory map isn’t just an attack on voting rights—it’s a key ingredient in the recipe for corruption.
Racism is the weapon; unchecked power is the goal.

The @SPLCenter's indictment was decided before the DOJ interviewed a single employee or requested a single document. A federal court just threw out another case on the exact same grounds. Dismiss this case.

.@DAGToddBlanche is not acting as an independent law enforcement official, but the president’s lawyer, now with official power to attack those Trump doesn’t like: civil rights orgs, political opponents, and prosecutors following the evidence. politico.com/news/2026/06/03…

A new @APNews investigation reveals ICE facilities ignored signs of distress, denied mental health care, and violated their own standards. Every person in custody deserves dignity and adequate care. We demand accountability. apnews.com/article/ice-suici…

This is not a side effect of Callais, but the goal. Republicans are attempting to consolidate political power by deliberately silencing their opposition. We won’t let them.
The latest blow to the Voting Rights Act could lead to the departures of as many as 19 Black Congress members over the next few years, according to the Congressional Black Caucus. wapo.st/4nQx7pC

On the 105th anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre, we remember victims who never got justice. The pattern repeats: Black votes gutted, agents killing without accountability, 32 dead in ICE custody in 2025, deadliest in 2 decades.
Accountability isn't partisan. The fight continues.

Communities like Troy must have a say in whether AI tools are deployed. Tools must be tested for bias before they go live. And there must be clear mechanisms for accountability when harm occurs: innovationframework.org/
