Showing Up for Racial Justice

What are you gonna be for Halloween? Ever wanted to wear a costume on a phone bank? On Oct 31 we're having a Halloween Costume Contest: come dressed as something that would scare MAGA (or just your best costume). Prizes await those whose costumes go above and beyond!

White people made up 78% of Trump voters in 2024– so it’s our responsibility to get MAGA out of power! We’re the largest organization in the country that explicitly works with white people to fight racism and the far right in our communities- and we want you on our team!

When a person in the audience comments: “I grew up in post-war Germany and I see certain parallels. The fact that [ICE] can pick up folks on the street and put them into concentration camps” This is @troyjackson207.bsky.social Troy Jackson’s response.

Are you a white person looking at the news in horror every day, but not sure what to do? We’re the largest organization in the country that explicitly works with white people to fight racism in our communities- and we want you on our team! Want to learn more?

“Do you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?” This is what Tommy Teepell (former aide to Republican Josh Hawley) asked Abdul El Sayed at a Michigan town hall over the weekend. When El Sayed asked Tommy why he was asking him this q, Tommy wouldn’t answer. But the audience knew the answer. It’s racism.

Randy Villegas is an educator and son of immigrants running for Congress (CA-22) in Central California. He stands for: 🗣️Money for community, not bombs 🗣️A moratorium on data centers 🗣️The right to healthcare

White people: fighting racism in white communities is our work! We’re the largest organization in the country that does just that. Can you commit to taking action this week to fight white supremacy and join us at an info session on Oct 14 at 8 pm ET?

This and electing @justinjpearson.bsky.social to Congress

Three years into the genocide in Palestine, tens of thousands of lives stolen, communities destroyed— funded by billions of American tax dollars. Palestine is a racial justice issue!

We must take this as an opporunity to keep organizing, keep up the pressure, and keep fighting.

Through decades of Islamophobic and anti-Arab propaganda, our government has laid the groundwork to convince Americans— especially white Americans— that we’re safer when we fund genocide instead of healthcare. War instead of public schools. Bombs instead of social services.
