Voter intimidation has no place in our democracy. We’re suing to block the Department of Justice’s plans to deploy federal law enforcement as “election monitors” and urging the court to immediately intervene to protect the right to vote. advancementproject.org/news/the-naa...

What does it mean to create the conditions for democracy to thrive? And what will the upcoming election teach us about our movements? In the latest from our blog, @carmen.advancementproject.org reflects on the role of movement lawyering in building a better world.

“There are more of us who care about fair and free accessible elections than those who want to suppress our vote, so we have to show up in numbers.” - @carmen.advancementproject.org

ICE agents don't make our schools or communities safer. They make kids, parents, and teachers live every school day in fear and unable to access the services they need. Take action now to demand accountability for ICE now: benjerrys.co/4x3xOPq

As students head back to school, they're doing so under the weight of multiple threats—ICE enforcement near schools, a national school closure crisis, and the fight for police-free schools. We have the resources you need to get organized, fight back, and defend every child's right to learn.

Less than a year after young people organized mass school walkouts to protest immigration enforcement, the Department of Education is encouraging schools to return to zero-tolerance policies and exclusionary discipline that would suppress student speech and exclude marginalized students from school.

Shout out to @publicnewsservice.bsky.social for covering our PA complaint challenging Pittsburgh's racist school closure plan. State civil rights enforcement matters much more as McMahon's Dep't of Ed ignores/encourages racial discrimination in schools app.publicnewsservice.org/story/pa-civ...

Today we filed an appeal on behalf of Amanda Wallace, a Durham activist protesting family separation who was silenced with a no-contact order issued under the North Carolina Workplace Violence Prevention Act. This appeal was filed with the @movfamilypower.bsky.social and @aclunc.bsky.social.

Today marks one year of Trump's occupation of DC. Contrary to Trump’s lies, this occupation not making DC safer or more beautiful. It is hurting families, children, workers here, and more. Yet every time this regime has attacked DC, we have grown stronger. This morning we will tell that story.

"We deserve a D.C. that is free from surveillance, free from policing, and free from the millions of dollars that people are wasting on these things and these troops to be invested in the people." - Loreal Hawk, Staff Attorney

As families prepare to head back to school, join us for a virtual press briefing to hear directly from experts and advocates about escalating threats to Black and brown students nationwide. 📆 Thurs, August 13 🕐 1 PM ET 📍 Zoom

We are in a national school closure crisis. But school closures aren’t inevitable — and they aren’t a solution to budget deficits. School districts should listen to communities calling for real investments in education and actual solutions to the fiscal issues they face. Read more: wapo.st/4pJwTkU

This Thursday — Join us for an important conversation on current threats to our right to dissent and build power with our movement partners at @ccrjustice.org, @dreamdefenders.bsky.social, and GSA Network. 📆 July 30 🕑 2pm ET / 11am PT 📍 Zoom

With so many threats jeopardizing our rights to dissent, organize, and build power, it's critical that we fight for a people-powered democracy where everyone can thrive. Join us in building another world, one beyond punishment and control, at the polls, in the streets, and in our communities.

Is your district showing signs that it might be closing your school? Has it slated your school for possible closure or is studying the possibility of closing your school? We have the tools you need to get organized and fight back.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero should be alive today. We honor the lives stolen by the militarized ICE enforcement, and we are in solidarity with communities nationwide calling for ICE to be removed from our communities and eliminated altogether.

What happens when communities refuse to accept school closures as inevitable? Pittsburgh families are showing us. ✊🏾 Neighborhood schools are worth fighting for. Read how @advancementproject.org is fighting back with @412justice.org! advancementproject.org/perspective/...
