Today, a federal court is hearing a case to block ICE from accessing taxpayer data. 

If ICE can pierce tax record privacy, millions of families will be at risk, and it won’t stop there.

ICE is escalating, targeting immigrants, silencing dissent, and tearing families apart. Now they are going after our tax data. We can’t look away. Keep your eyes on ICE as we demand protections for our neighbors and communities. #StopTrumpsTrackdown

Today, a federal court is hearing a case to block ICE from accessing taxpayer data. Our tax dollars should protect families, not disappear them. If ICE can pierce tax record privacy, millions of families are at risk, and it won’t stop there. #StopTrumpsTrackdown

Today, we joined the Clean Slate Coalition kick-off in Springfield. You too can join the action and tell Illinois lawmakers: It’s time to end the lifelong barriers of conviction records and give people a real second chance.

Staffing agencies exploit workers, placing them in “dangerous, inhumane” jobs while dodging accountability, @nytimes reports. One mom packed VIP items for influencers—her paychecks bounced.

These practices are not just unethical—they're systemic
