Sixty-three years ago today, hundreds of Black residents in Selma, Alabama, lined up to register to vote on Freedom Day. They faced intimidation and deliberate delays. Supporters who tried to bring them food and water were beaten by law enforcement.
We honor their courage by exercising our right to vote and defending equal access to the ballot.
Make your plan to vote. Let’s continue the work to strengthen the Voting Rights Act and ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot without discrimination, fear or intimidation.

Anyone who cares about the freedom of political speech in the U.S. should support this lawsuit brought by @mahmoudkhalel on behalf of all those detained, deported, or threatened for speaking out about genocide and apartheid in occupied Palestine.

ICE cannot be reformed because its purpose is not enforcing the law. It is terrorism for a white supremacist vision of America.
Abolish ICE. @Mitchellodeon: otherwords.org/ice-killings-…

For decades, Los Angeles has been told that giving developers more incentives will eventually solve the housing crisis. Meanwhile, rents have climbed, homelessness has increased, and working families continue to be priced out.
ALT Trickle Down Housing DOESN'T WORK The LA City Council is proposing a ballot measure that would give developers a 10 year ULA tax exemption, without requiring a single affordable home. LA voters didn't pass Measure ULA to subsidize market-rate development. LA City Council... REJECT THE PROPOSED ULA BALLOT AMENDMENTS.

"Edgar shares, "I've worked in the fields of Salinas for 20 years. Spent long hours bending my back, cutting and harvesting lettuce, cutting my hands, and pushing through pain to help put food on people’s tables."
"Farmworkers are essential. We are not disposable."

We all want the same things—jobs that pay a living wage, access to affordable housing, and a brighter future for our children. That’s why we’re using this moment to make #UnionsForAll a reality and win a better life.

“Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.” #MLK #SundayWithKing #TheKingCenter

Sixty nine years ago today, on May 17, 1957, my father delivered “Give Us the Ballot.” Its message still speaks with urgency.
At a time when voting rights continue to be challenged and weakened, his words remind us that the ballot is about dignity, representation, and the power to help shape a just society. That call is still before us.
I invite you to watch the full speech and reflect on what it still calls us to do:

#OTD in 1967, Dr. King delivered his "Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam" sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
It could have just as easily been delivered today.

61 years ago today, at the culmination of the Selma to Montgomery marches, my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stood on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol and declared with clarity and conviction, “How long? Not long!”
That moment was not only about the victory ahead. It was about the determination to keep moving forward in the face of brutality, injustice, and delay.
The question still meets us today. Not just “How long?,” but ”How committed we are to doing what is necessary to secure and protect the right to vote for all?”

"Susana" is hard at work in Woodlake CA harvesting lemons. "I earn $35 per 900lb crate. It is not easy work. I must move and go up and down a 12-foot ladder, while avoiding the thorns on the tree. The weather is cold & the ground is often muddy." #WeFeedYou
