We can have human rights or we can have fossil fuels.

We can’t have both.

Today at #UNGA77 Vanuatu has become the first nation-state to call for the adoption of a Fossil Fuels Non-Proliferation Treaty. Other states must follow.

Black, Brown and Indigenous people are repeatedly denied access to asylum and unjustly detained. Remind the administration that everyone fleeing violence must be afforded the same opportunity to seek safety and demand they free our community members. https://t.co/P7PO8JQe8t

Abortion is a human right. The American people recognize that 👏

[ACLU @ACLU]

BREAKING: Kansas voters just defeated a ballot measure that would've given politicians in Kansas unlimited authority to restrict access to abortion care in the state.

People in Kansas came to the polls and made it clear: Abortion is a right that we will fight for.
