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.

ICE supervisor Brenden Cuni was named in multiple lawsuits alleging violent arrests. So why was he armed at the scene where ICE officers shot Oscar Belgal with his 5-year-old son in the car? ICE’s reign of terror needs to end. bit.ly/4juW0Hj

Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias is the seventh person to die in ICE detention in Texas this year and the second in Laredo. He was a lawful permanent resident with a right to dignity and due process. We demand a full, independent investigation. bit.ly/4zLB5ob

What do voters want from civil rights organizations like ours? Our new 2026 Civil Rights Monitor, a national poll of likely voters, has the answer, and it's a vote of confidence in our work. See the findings: civilrights.org/2026/09/30/c…

Since January 2025, the U.S. Justice Department has dismissed 57 desegregation orders, 45 of them in the South. Without these orders, there is no guaranteed equal funding or access to advanced courses. Brown v. Board must be enforced, not erased.

Just in from our 2026 Civil Rights Monitor, a national poll of likely voters: Families across the country are feeling the effects of the rising cost of living, and they’re calling on leaders to take action. See the full findings. ⬇️ civilrights.org/2026/09/30/c…

Every car that passes a Flock camera goes into a searchable log — and far too often that access is abused by law enforcement. In Harris County, TX, leaders took residents' concerns seriously and will remove 60+ cameras. We need more independent oversight.

Trump named an AI czar, yet there’s still no federal law broadly regulating AI. Seems backward? That’s because it is. We need Congress to set guardrails and maintain oversight of AI to ensure we can hold companies accountable and protect people.

The Trump regime is so desperate to seize control and hold on to power that they’re trying to manufacture a crisis about Californians improperly voting or being improperly registered to vote. They do this to create a pretext for denying election results they don’t like.

This is part of the authoritarian playbook. Manufacture a crisis, confuse voters, and hope voters stay home. But we won’t let that deter us. Your vote is your voice. They cannot silence yours.

An ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back. Accountability means investigating the agent who pulled the trigger, not the man he shot. We demand a Congressional investigation.

31 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Black men gathered on the National Mall for the Million Man March. As efforts to erase Black history and roll back hard-won civil rights continue, we fight to protect the progress they marched for.

DHS's goal was to keep ICE out of the headlines. The lives they’ve terrorized deserve to have their stories told. We will keep exposing ICE’s abuse until there is a complete overhaul of the system. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

Our Annual Voting Record is here, and it reveals that this Congress was one of the most harmful to our civil rights. Too many members of Congress are more concerned with pleasing Trump than with serving their constituents. Read more here: civilrights.org/2026/10/13/v…

Eugenio Tahay’s wife died while ICE held him in detention. He never got to properly grieve or say a final goodbye, even after giving the guards copies of her death certificate. Human dignity doesn't matter to ICE. The cruelty is the point. arkansasonline.com/news/2026…
