Despite Mississippi leaders making voting as hard as possible, Scott Colom is still in the lead. And we have the Black folks to thank for that.
When we say that nobody should count us out, we mean it.

We saw huge wins across the country, and what really made the difference was that majority-Black counties outperformed many majority-white counties this year, especially in the South.
Don’t count Black folks out, because we show up.

We have so much to say about Georgia that we don’t know where to start.
Black people have put in the blood, sweat, and tears for decades to organize for a better Georgia. And the hard work paid off. We couldn’t be happier.

Congrats to New York Lieutenant Governor-elect Adrienne Adams, now the state’s first-ever Black woman Lt. Governor.
We look forward to the possibility of working alongside Adams to fight for affordable housing, better economic opportunities, and more for Black New Yorkers.

@KeishaBottoms just became the country’s first-ever Black female Governor!
We look forward to working with Governor-elect Bottoms on the issues Black Georgians care about most, and to holding this office to the promise this moment represents.

The power is in the numbers. Juliana Stratton joins Angela Alsobrooks and Lisa Blunt Rochester – the first time three Black women are serving in the Senate simultaneously.
This is a powerful moment for Black women and Black people in the U.S..

Our communities are feeling the impact of funding cuts, and struggling to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Trump is using our taxpayer money to promote himself. Our tax dollars are not his personal PR budget.

Six prominent Black women. One unmistakable pattern. Do you see it?
They challenged Trump, held him accountable, exposed his conduct, or refused to bend to his agenda. Now they are facing investigations, indictments, threats, and relentless attacks.

Election Day is 2 weeks away. It’s time to research who we are voting for and what policies will help make a difference near you!

“JUSTIFIED.”
That’s how Mississippi’s AG describes the use of force that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
Kohen deserved to grow up. Black families deserve answers, not cover-ups. From Kohen to Nolan Wells, we cannot let Black lives be swept under the rug and normalize injustice.

A secret is hiding in plain sight: billions in civil rights funding flow through donor-advised funds that are unilaterally deciding where it can and can’t go.
Fidelity. Vanguard. DAFgiving360. Goldman Sachs.
We see you. We’re paying attention. And we’re holding you accountable.

31 years ago today, hundreds of thousands of Black men gathered in Washington, D.C. for the Million Man March.
It was a moment of unity, reflection, responsibility, and collective power. Recognizing what becomes possible when people come together.

Today we honor these leaders who brought us together, who challenged restrictive structures, and who fought for a better future.

This is the abuse of power we’ve warned about.
Rep. Omar is a Somali-born woman who has long been a target of Trump’s attacks. The racial and political context cannot be ignored.
If we let the powerful intimidate their critics, what stops them next time?
We stand with Ilhan.

From the SPLC to Color Of Change, the playbook is clear: target the groups that fight back.
So when funds cut off the ability to give to the Southern Poverty Law Center, it’s part of the plan.
They named Color Of Change too. But we’re still here. And we’re not backing down.

Afro-Caribbean. Latina. Bisexual. Unfiltered. Never afraid to speak truth to power.
We love seeing a star use her platform to say what others are too scared to say.
Happy Birthday, Cardi. OKURRRR! 💅🏽

Today’s lesson is simple: They go after the money.
This isn’t new. From the civil rights movement of the 1960s to the ones that followed, financial pressure has been used to disrupt organizing and stall progress. So we keep moving. Until justice is real.
