The Next Generation Action Network is outraged by today’s jury selection process in the Karmelo Anthony trial. The prosecution used its final strikes to remove the remaining qualified Black jurors from the jury pool, raising serious concerns about fairness and equal justice.
We respect the court, but we will not remain silent. NGAN will continue monitoring this case and informing the public every step of the way. Every person deserves a fair trial and confidence that justice is being administered without bias.
We are calling on the court to ensure Mr. Anthony’s constitutional rights are fully protected.

STAND AGAINST HATE. STAND FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
The Next Generation Action Network (NGAN) is proud to stand alongside the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Faith Power Alliance: Advancing Justice Through Faith as we unite in defense of the Muslim community and against the dangerous rise of fear, bigotry, and political intimidation.
What should have been a joyful celebration of Eid for families across North Texas became a troubling example of how fear and division can be used to target a community exercising its right to gather, worship, and celebrate.
We refuse to remain silent.
Join us as we demand answers, transparency, and accountability regarding the cancellation of the Eid celebration in Grand Prairie.

An attack on one faith community is an attack on all of us.
Religious freedom must apply to everyone. We cannot allow hate, fear-mongering, or political pressure to dictate who gets to celebrate their faith and who does not.
✊🏾 United by the Spirit of Eid. United Against Hate. United for Freedom.
North Texas showed up & showed OUT. ✊🏾🔥
Judge Amber Givens flipping the Dallas County DA seat. Colin Allred heading to the 33rd Congressional District. This is what community looks like in action.
And we're just getting started.
General Election Season is officially here and we've got one goal:
FLIP TEXAS. 🇺🇸
For the working families. For voting rights. For environmental justice. For every person who deserves a Texas that fights for them.
Celebrate today. Organize tomorrow.
See you in November. ✊🏾
For all races. All colors. All creeds.
As Karmelo Anthony’s trial approaches tomorrow, we know there will be falsehoods, misconceptions, misinformation, and outside noise surrounding this case.
But the Next Generation Action Network remains focused on one truth: rights are not just for some they are for everyone.
Due process is not just for certain people. A fair trial is not just for certain communities. Justice cannot depend on race, public opinion, or social media narratives.
As we enter this critical moment, we are asking our community to stay focused, stay peaceful, and continue standing with this family.

On this day in 1851, Sojourner Truth delivered the "Ain't I a Woman?" speech at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio.
“Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that ‘twixt the Negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what’s all this here talking about?
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man ��� when I could get it – and bear the lash as well!And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what’s this they call it? [member of audience whispers, “intellect”] That’s it, honey. What’s that got to do with women’s rights or Negroes’ rights? If my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it. The men better let them.
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain’t got nothing more to say.”
From Tulsa to Boston, our legacies move through us.
As we mark the 105th commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre, we honor the Black lives stolen in Tulsa and carry the mantle left by Mother Viola Ford Fletcher, Hughes Van Ellis, and others who led calls for essential reparative justice.
That’s why in Congress I am fighting to ensure true progress is met with policy—working to advance HR40, legislation to confront the lasting legacy of slavery and advance reparations.
Because reparations are not charity. They are a debt long overdue. We need reparations NOW.
Sunday marks the 105-year commemoration of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The events of that day in Tulsa, Oklahoma, still reverberate throughout a community seeking justice. https://t.co/Nrkz07Ub2F
105 years ago today, a mob of White people began a vile, murderous attack on the Greenwood District, a flourishing Black community in Tulsa and the home of Black Wall Street.
Imagine if the Greenwood District, and many other thriving Black communities, had not been intentionally destroyed at the hands of racism and white supremacy.

On Nakba Day, our St. Louis community came together to commemorate 78 years since the occupation of Palestine began.
I will always stand against genocide, even as millions of dollars are spent to scare our movement into silence. Speak out!
The trial of Karmelo Anthony is scheduled to begin June 1.
The Next Generation Action Network stands firm in one truth: laws are not just for some races. Rights are not just for some people. Due process is not just for a select few it belongs to all.
No matter your race, color, creed, or background, every person deserves fairness, dignity, and the right to a fair trial.
Let’s stand together for justice, peace, and due process.
Justice for All, Not Justice for Some.

On what would have been Dr. Betty Shabazz’s birthday, I honor her strength, grace, intellect, and enduring love for her family and her people. May we continue to remember and honor her legacy.

Texas, we must prepare ourselves for what is coming. The moment Ken Paxton became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate seat, the same political strategy immediately returned fearmongering, division, and misinformation. We are already hearing the same recycled attacks targeting transgender kids in sports, dishonest narratives about energy, and misleading statements designed to distract Texans from the real issues impacting our communities every single day.
This is not leadership. This is a calculated political tactic used to divide people, create outrage, and manipulate voters through fear instead of facts. Texans deserve better than politicians who build campaigns on confusion, deception, and culture wars while families struggle with rising costs, failing infrastructure, public education challenges, healthcare access, and economic uncertainty.
We must rise up across this state and commit ourselves to truth, transparency, education, and voter engagement. We cannot allow lies to go unanswered. We cannot allow fear to define the future of Texas. Every community must be informed, every voter must be educated, and every voice must be empowered heading into November.
The lies will come. The attacks will come. The misinformation campaigns will continue. But our responsibility is greater than their politics. We must organize harder, educate deeper, and mobilize stronger than ever before. The future of Texas depends on people who are willing to stand on facts, defend democracy, and fight for a state that works for everyone not just political extremists chasing power.
November is bigger than politics. It is about the soul and direction of Texas. Let’s organize. Let’s educate. Let’s mobilize. And let’s make sure every Texan is informed, prepared, and ready to vote.
The Next Generation Action Network recently held a press conference ahead of the upcoming Karmelo Anthony trial.
Our message is clear: this case must be handled in the courtroom, not in the court of public opinion.
NGAN is calling for peace, due process, respect for the court, and a fair trial free from misinformation, racial bias, and outside influence.
Justice must be guided by truth not hate, lies, or social media.
Justice for All, Not Justice for Some.
