The Power Scorecard is a tool that can help inform our strategies, research, and policy advocacy at the state level for building power, reforming our democracy, and making sure our economy works for everyone. Take a look at https://t.co/C1DRMK6XMq.

A first job is more than a paycheck; it's a stepping stone to a career & a source of support for families. But access to that first job is unequal.

Black teens are nearly 2x as likely to be unemployed as white teens.

Why does this gap exist? Read more: https://t.co/wMAJ3Ohzjn

The Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais was a major setback, & its consequences are already being felt.

Read our latest piece to understand how the landscape of political representation has changed & what it means for Black & brown votes.

Families can't afford child care. Providers can't afford to lower prices. Care workers can't afford to stay in the profession.

This is no coincidence—it's a result of policy choices. A better child care system is possible through public investment.

Ignited by the Supreme Court’s Callais ruling, the redistricting frenzy in Southern states is sowing widespread confusion among voters, candidates, and election officials alike. https://t.co/0rnsTp565T

The affordability crisis is the result of deliberate policy choices—and it can be reversed. Today, @Demos_Org and @PplsAction released a new report with a framework for making housing, food, health care, energy, and child care affordable for everyone. https://t.co/1x6OuYHReP

At Dēmos, we believe treating care as a public good would shift care structures away from individual responsibility and toward shared investment, resulting in greater autonomy and economic freedom for everyday people.

Motherhood has become a political battleground. But beneath the culture-war debates is a practical question: Who bears the cost of care?

New restrictions from the Big Beautiful Bill—signed nearly a year ago with July 4th fanfare—are rippling across the country. The law cuts $187 billion from food stamps over a decade. Since enactment, 3.5 million people have fallen off SNAP rolls.

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow Alabama’s discriminatory map isn’t just an attack on voting rights—it’s a key ingredient in the recipe for corruption.

Racism is the weapon; unchecked power is the goal.

[Campaign Legal Center @CampaignLegal]

The fight for voting rights has never been linear. Every generation has faced attempts to restrict access to the ballot box, and every generation has risen to meet these challenges. This moment is no different. And remember: Your vote still matters.

Immigrants are not guests in our country's story—they're part of its foundation, present, and future.

Amid violent attacks against their communities, we must honor and defend the generations of immigrants whose dreams and courage have shaped us. #ImmigrantHeritageMonth

Dismantling one of the state’s two majority-Black districts will leave large swaths of Black Louisianians without adequate political power and representation. https://t.co/pQoe4xoGk2

The cost of living has risen steadily over the past 16 years, while the federal minimum wage has remained unchanged.

Meanwhile, states and localities continue to step in where federal legislation falls short. We deserve to thrive, not just survive. https://t.co/jGIZINu0M6

We’re grateful for the incredible and productive conversations we had in New Mexico about radical citizenship. Thank you to @ACLUNM and everyone who came out to build power with us.

[Demos @Demos_Org]

Families today are overburdened by rising costs.

But what if the affordability crisis isn't really about prices?

In her latest piece, @TaifaButler explains that today's affordability crisis is actually a crisis of power.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

This is the impact of the Trump admin’s big, ugly bill:

700,000 kids across the country are going hungry after being kicked off SNAP food assistance. The admin risked kids’ futures so they could give billionaires and giant corporations another tax break.

The emerging workforce is facing an affordability crisis and a difficult job market, but strong workplace protections can help young people stay attached to their jobs and lay a strong economic foundation. Powerful reporting by @Rainesford: https://t.co/9QZnYA1xX7

In a move that hurts workers, the Department of Labor rolled back overtime pay eligibility for millions, amid skyrocketing costs of living. https://t.co/hapEPNSvsm

We’re honored to fight alongside AAPI communities—in the work, in the movement, and in the fight for a multiracial democracy that works for all of us. Happy AAPI Heritage Month!
