BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order attempting to overturn birthright citizenship. This historic decision reaffirms that the Constitution — not the president — defines who gets to be a citizen.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that states can ban transgender girls from school sports. This is a devastating ruling for trans students across the country who simply want the freedom to play with their friends.

Two months after the end of the Civil War, Union troops went to Galveston Bay, Texas to free over 250K enslaved people and enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the freedom of enslaved people and recognizes the vital work we must do as a country to preserve Black liberation.

Kahlil Gibran is one of the best-selling poets of all time. Inspired by his experience as a Lebanese American immigrant, Kahlil’s work earned him a reputation as a key voice of Arabic literary modernism and the Arab diaspora. His writings continue to resonate with people around the world.

President Trump's mass deportation drive is unleashing federal immigration agents into our communities and allowing them to make costly and dangerous mistakes. Tell Congress to say no to any further no-strings-attached funding for ICE and Border Patrol.
Neon green graphic reading: "I saw officers block someone in, put them in a car, drive away and, once we got to a more secure location look at the person and say, 'Oh, shoot, that's not our target.' The quote is attributed to a Senior ICE officer. There is a black ACLU logo at the bottom.

The right to birthright citizenship has been affirmed by the Supreme Court for more than a century as settled law. We’re fighting at the highest court in the land to defend a principle that stems from this nation’s founding.

A federal court just ruled the Ten Commandments monument at the Arkansas State Capitol unconstitutional. A win for religious freedom and the basic principle that government must stay neutral. No one should feel like an outsider because of what they believe — or don’t.
