People with disabilities have a right to lead self-directed lives and retain their civil rights.

Pauli Murray was a Black queer civil rights activist and lawyer who was arrested for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus 15 years before Rosa Parks’ famous protest.

Pauli fought for racial and gender equity — two issues we still fight for today. #WomensHistoryMonth

🚨 Puerto Rico's Senate just passed a dangerous internet voting bill🚨

Governor @wandavazquezg MUST veto this legislation, which would expose the Island's voting system to hacking, and jeopardize Puerto Ricans' right to vote.  https://t.co/UIUOvZiZQn

When Mary Beatrice Kenner first tried to market her invention, she faced rejection rooted in racism.

Today, structural racism prevents thousands in the US — including people who are poor or incarcerated — from accessing the pads they need.

We need menstrual equity now.

The day Julio received DACA, he paid cash for a little car and on a whim drove to New Mexico. He remembers sitting on the trunk of his car and staring at the stars that night, dreaming of a future free from the fear of deportation.

That future didn't include Trump ending DACA.

Allowing people to vote while incarcerated isn’t new — Maine, Vermont, Puerto Rico, and many, many other countries already have policies allowing people to vote while incarcerated.
