The NYPD, under Mayor Adams, is now disappearing our houseless neighbors into psych facilities against their will--the same Adams who has displaced many houseless folks through cruel encampment sweeps & had initially planned to cut social services in his preliminary budget

[ACLU of Colorado @ACLUofColorado]

We are devastated and angered to learn of the five lives lost and the 18 people injured in a mass shooting at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs.

[Circle for Justice Innovations @CjiFund]

To the queer community, we are sorry that the system has failed you & that your safe spaces are no longer safe. We need to do better.

[Circle for Justice Innovations @CjiFund]

We posted this devastating data less than a month ago, & we already need to update the number of queer folks killed this year. Absolutely heartbreaking .

[Circle for Justice Innovations @CjiFund]

As we mourn the 5 lives senselessly stolen by hatred in the Colorado Springs shooting this past Saturday, we must do more than just send “thoughts & healing.” We need to fiercely recommit to protecting LGBTQ+ lives through policy & actionable change.

[Abolish Slavery National Network @Abolitionnation]

4 states abolished slavery with NO exceptions. Proud of the amazing campaigns in our #FreedomFive states..

20 states are left with exception clauses to slavery abolition, as well as the US constitution. The fight will continue, but for now, we celebrate.
