60 years ago, our people marched bravely across Selma and secured the right to vote. Today, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act with a 6-3 ruling. 🧵 1/

We will not accept a government where billionaires, extremists, and a captured Supreme Court decide whose voices count. We’ve fought too hard for the right to vote, to belong, and to govern alongside everyone else. 🧵7/

This #SCOTUS decision is a direct attack on Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American voters. It weakens representation in Congress by diluting our votes and making it harder to elect leaders who fight for our real needs, from affordable housing and good jobs to healthcare and safe neighborhoods. The future isn’t decided for us. It’s shaped by us. Our votes matter, our voices matter and together, we organize, mobilize, and win. ✊🏽 seiu.co/424AKhz

"[Dred Scott] was an attempt to imagine a kind of citizenship based on parentage that would exclude a whole caste of people. And that is exactly what the 14th Amendment rejected." motherjones.com/politics/202…

Every day we continue to see our constitutional rights shredded under this administration. Birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection aren't up for debate. We must defend the 14th Amendment.

According to a nonprofit report, banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, cost the prison companies billions in potential financing. Now, the private prison firms are fighting back, spending millions on lobbying Congress to pass a law to require that the banks can’t deny their business. interc.pt/4r0Dis0

We’re at St. Mark’s Church NOW because they’re using ICE to attack our 14th Amendment Rights. We’re live now in D.C. to demand our leaders take a stand against ICE before it’s too late. Watch live: facebook.com/events/16373173… #IceOutNow

Donald Trump's executive order challenging birthright citizenship also endangers the 14th Amendment guarantees of due process and equal protection. Thanks to @popdemoc for joining me on @blkagendareport radio. blackagendareport.com/protec…

With Federal labor protections under threat, my EmPIRE Act is NY’s answer to confronting rampant wage theft. By giving workers real tools to recover stolen pay, we are ensuring real accountability & stronger enforcement. Read @hughbaran op-ed on why we must pass the EmPIRE Act
