The U.N. was created as a forum to promote peace and cooperation through diplomacy and dialogue. President Trump's threat to "annihilate" Iran at the U.N. General Assembly is deeply shameful and unacceptable. Congress must exert its authority to rein in Trump's militarism and end this war now.

The Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais puts voting districts that give voters of color an opportunity to elect candidates of our choice in jeopardy across the country. Although the court has upended decades of progress, we're not giving up or backing down from defending our democracy.
Photo of Sophia Lin Lakin in a brown suit speaking at at press conference. A quote on the photo reads "Fair districts that took decades of litigation — not to mention blood and sweat — to achieve are now at risk. And representation isn’t just symbolic. It is a vote on whether your child’s school gets funded, whether your neighborhood gets flood relief, and whether your community’s health care survives the next budget." The quote is attributed to Sophia Lin Lakin, ACLU Voting Rights Project Director, on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais
