The Trump administration is shutting down the National LGBTQ youth suicide lifeline on July 17th.
Community note
The national suicide hotline is removing the "press 3" program that would link to the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project and suicide hotline are still accessible on their respective numbers. If you need LGBTQ specific resources you can call 1-866-488-7386

It’s a beautiful day to be Black!! Happy
Juneteenth, fam!
Today is not just a celebration. It’s a call to action. Our
ancestors started this fight, and we will continue it.
Today, we honor their legacy, their fight for freedom,
our heritage, and the truth that liberation is our
birthright.
Because while we’ve come far, symbolic gestures
won’t save us. True freedom means dismantling every
system that was never built for us to thrive. We honor
them by continuing the fight.
The U.S. immigration system is deeply rooted in anti-Blackness & colonial violence. Black immigrants—from Haiti to Cameroon—are too often erased, even while facing the harshest consequences.
This isn’t about legality. It’s about survival, dignity, and power.

Your city. Your block. Your future.
June 14th is the deadline to register for NYC’s mayoral primary — and we’re not here to play passive. Local elections aren’t background noise — they shape your rent, your schools, your streets, your rights. The people in office make decisions that hit close to home, whether you vote or not. So stay informed. Stay engaged. And most importantly, show up.
🗳️ Register by June 14. Vote in the mayoral primary June 24. Because power starts at the local level.
