Howard Zinn: "It would be naïve to depend on the Supreme Court to defend the rights of poor people, women, people of color, dissenters... Those rights only come alive when citizens organize, protest, demonstrate, strike, boycott, rebel, and violate the law...to uphold justice" 1/

Welp, this just got announced.

Some big news: I’m stepping out of my role as president of TOA. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to lead this powerful organization, and I’m excited for what’s next from the visionary leadership of our staff!

[Ellen Buchman @EllenBuchman]

VERY excited by this GROUNDBREAKING history being made! Congratulations to Judge Choudhury and to our country on this accomplishment.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

BREAKING: The Senate just confirmed civil rights lawyer Nusrat Choudhury to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Choudhury becomes the first Bangladeshi American woman and first Muslim woman to EVER serve as an Article III judge. This matters.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Our communities depend on federal judges and justices to fairly administer justice for all people.

Congress must immediately address the ongoing judicial ethics crisis and ensure that our Supreme Court lives up to its sacred promise. #EthicsReformNow https://t.co/VYJVNJcBaO

As we kick off #PrideMonth, remember Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera did not ASK politely for their rights. Stonewall was a riot - rising up against police brutality. We will not ask for liberation. We fight for what is ours. We demand LGBTQ+ liberation and racial justice.

[Women's March @womensmarch]

Happy Pride.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Happy #Pride, everyone!

Remember that LGBTQ rights are civil and human rights. No matter what month it is, we fight on for equality and for dignity – for all of us. ✨

[SisterSong: National Women of Color RJ Collective @SisterSong_WOC]

Stonewall was a riot protesting police violence and systemic oppression. It was led by trans women of color. Let us rise up to honor their legacy this #PrideMonth and make it clear that #BlackLivesMatter!

[Liberal Jane @liberaljanee]

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 reminder as we head into this wonderful month that the commercial visibility of Pride over the past few years has often excluded the voices of those most marginalized. 💗

Look at these brave and inspiring kids! So proud of them- and the play’s producer (who happens to be my son’s former math tutor).

Their high school canceled an LGBTQ play. These teens put it on anyway. https://t.co/HuDL01lHoi

[Making Gay History @MakingGayHistry]

Any movement requires an uneasy pairing: IMPATIENCE, and a refusal to accept the status quo, and PATIENCE, the kind needed to stay the course, sometimes for decades.

3 years ago today, we witnessed the brutal murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police. May we remember, honor, and continue the struggle to overcome white supremacist policing of Black and brown people. And may we continue to push for racial justice every day.

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

Today marks three years since Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd. Three years since the largest series of antiracist demonstrations in history, followed by one of the most concerted racist movements to demonize and ban antiracist work in history.

Uncle Harvey, would have been 93 today, wrote these words nearly 50 years ago on how he hoped to be remembered. Today is Harvey Milk Day, as we have face new challenges to our collective freedoms, please join me in remembering his work, example & sacrifice.Happy Birthday Harvey❤️

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

What my father would be deeply concerned about is the harmful, discriminatory legislation in Florida.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Harvey Milk would have turned 93 today.

We honor his incredible legacy by fighting every day for LGBTQ rights and equality. #HarveyMilkDay

[Liberal Jane @liberaljanee]

Today is International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia and a reminder that queer existence & expression isn’t up for debate. #IDAHOBIT

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Today we recognize the 66th anniversary of the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom, where Dr. King delivered his iconic #GiveUsTheBallot speech.

Dr. King placed voting rights at the center of the struggle for civil rights, because he knew this: Voting rights protect ALL other rights.
