Democracy Spring is a civil resistance movement organization. We use nonviolent action to fight voter suppression & the corruption of big money in politics.#HR1
We asked @andrewcuomo whether he would commit to supporting reparations and making equality real for Black New Yorkers.
He refused to do so as Governor and refused to give us a clear answer now unlike @ZohranKMamdani who has already signed our pledge to back repair.
A white supremacist faction in Georgia is pushing a Jim Crow anti-voter strategy to silence Black and Brown Americans. They’ve even passed a ban on giving water to voters waiting in line — so that’s exactly what we are going to do.

Good to see @TheDemocrats following @getfree_mvmt’s lead when we projected MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda to lock in white supremacy onto RNC HQ last month.
Now we need Dems to take the next step & adopt Our Repair Mandate into the party platform tonight ➡️ https://t.co/QwUVsQO63Y
Today, we delivered our repair mandate to the DNC’s doorsteps and we’re gonna keep the pressure on to ensure the party steps up and walks the talk, no matter who is at the top of the ticket.
Keep the momentum up with us; join our mass call on July 25th: https://t.co/GTTjFUfPXv
HAPPENING NOW: people across race and place are demonstrating in front of the DNC HQ to demand that Democrats adopt the repair mandate in their 2024 party platform.
Join our movement to make repair a reality– RSVP for our mass call next Thursday @ 7pm ET: https://t.co/GTTjFUgnN3
JJ, one of our leaders spoke in front of the RNC HQ about reckoning with our history and righting the wrongs of the past as a way to repair the harms caused by the white supremacist faction, currently helmed by MAGA Republicans.
This morning we showed up at the RNC HQ once again to expose MAGA Republicans’ plot to bolster white supremacy, at the cost of our freedom and equality.
From ending affirmative action to whitewashing our history and attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, they want to drag us back to the 1800s and maintain the inequalities a wealthy, white few have relied on since enslavement to hold onto power.
As the Republican National Convention came to an end, we were out tonight outside of the RNC headquarters to stand for freedom and equality and expose MAGA Republicans’ Project 2025 agenda to lock in white supremacy.
That’s why we’re going to DC on July 18-19th, a whole month after Juneteenth and a day after the Republican National Convention, to demand the Democrats stand up to the MAGA faction and sign onto our repair mandate.
Will you join us in DC in July? https://t.co/VJIEaxf1Kz
In 2020, GenZ and Millennials across race and place rose up and turned out in a historic reckoning for Black lives and against the legacy of enslavement that still contaminates and orders society today.
Now, it’s time for us to finish the job.
Juneteenth is a day when we celebrate Black people finally becoming free from centuries of enslavement.
But our struggle for our freedoms is being threatened by a white supremacist faction.
A 🧵 about this threat and what we can do. https://t.co/VJIEaxf1Kz
Our movement in the news:
"We can come together... against what is happening in the Supreme Court, happening in state legislatures... and fight and push our electeds to stand for an America that is actually free and equal for all. That requires repair."

NEW: full video of the action by Get Free members in the Capitol demanding our elected leaders show which side they’re on & pledge to make freedom and equality real. Who will #StandWithTheFuture? Tag & call your Member of Congress to sign the pledge and stand with our generation.
BREAKING: after a 3 day sit in outside Congress, @SpeakerMcCarthy arrests young people inside the Capitol demanding our Members of Congress #StandWithTheFuture, reject the supremacist faction, and pledge to make freedom and equality real.
It’s hot as hell, but we’re sitting-in and we’re staying.
We demand our elected leaders choose #theFutureVsFaction and say it with a pledge.
Sign the pledge and choose the future with us: https://t.co/SswAAwFUyF
Wow. Massive crowds are STILL gathered outside the Tennessee Capitol in the rain to demand Republicans pass gun reform and stand with the Democratic lawmakers they are trying to expel. (h/t @kkruesi)
