Mourning the victims of October 7th - the families, the elders, the children taken from us by Hamas' brutal attack. The hostages still in Gaza, and their families, who have desperately campaigned for their freedom over this terrible year. The innocents killed in Gaza as the bombs began to fall the same day.
Every precious soul killed a year ago today deserved better. Every Israeli and every Palestinian does. We need to fight for the world in which they all have the safety and dignity they deserve.

Last night 53k+ BLACK MEN gathered in unity & raised 1.3 million+ in 4 hours for @KamalaHarris.
The BLACK COMMUNITY is uniting in ways we have not seen in politics before.

I cannot even begin to express what we’ve lost with Michael Latt’s murder. He was the absolute best of us. Rest in Power, my friend. ktla.com/news/local-news/hom…

Great news — starting today, Pennsylvania will begin automatic voter registration for folks getting a driver's license or state ID card at the DMV. Hopefully even more states will follow.

this seems, to me, to be the worst ethical lapse by far of the various ethical lapses documented in recent weeks. in a normal world, this would prompt a timely resignation

“I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Alabama for the right to vote.”
Happy birthday to civil rights leader and congressman, John Lewis.
Your work expanding voting rights and building Black political power brought the #VotingWhileBlack movement where it is today.

59 years ago today, poll taxes were banned with the ratification of the 24th Amendment.
This cruel form of voter suppression was only outlawed following the tireless efforts of Black organizers.
Let’s continue organizing until every American has full access to the ballot box.

Michigan voters: YOU DID IT!
You mobilized to reelect @JocelynBenson as Michigan’s Secretary of State. 👏🏾
Now, she can continue protecting the voting rights we need to elect candidates who will protect democracy and act on other issues that matter most to Black voters.
