Throughout LGBTQ+ history, Black LGBTQ+ folks have been trailblazers, icons, pathmakers and groundbreakers. October is LGBTQ+ History Month, and we honor those whose work, art, voices, stories, and contributions have fueled the fight for Black LGBTQ+ liberation and visibility.

Black superheroes embody the strength and power in all of us. And when people try to dismiss that representation as “woke,” it’s worth remembering: Black identity and the realities of race have been part of these characters’ stories from the beginning. Who is your favorite Superhero?

“They will come for you.” When corporations and powerful institutions organize to punish people for speaking truth to power, it sends a message: Stay quiet, or you could be next. That’s why we organize. Not just when it comes for us, but before.

“Our son’s life does not matter to those who hold positions that are supposed to serve and protect the public.” Those are the words of Nolan Wells’ mother. We demand justice for Nolan Wells and all the other Black youth whose deaths our justice system has failed.

On Dolly Parton Day, we remember a woman who didn’t just say Black lives mattered. She showed it. From supporting Black artists and BLM to investing royalties in Black Nashville and putting millions of free books in kids’ hands, Dolly put compassion into action.

Trump wants to erase millions of us from the 2030 Census. His new proposal would exclude non-citizens and other minorities from the population count required by the Constitution. Tell the Census Bureau: Every person counts, no exceptions. Here: bit.ly/4y2YroR

Hey, @bigdoordash.bsky.social. We fixed it. A lukewarm admission and a forced settlement barely begin to make things right for all the app-based workers you’ve exploited. So, when can we expect a settlement for all dashers who haven’t received a fair wage?

Converse. Target. Burberry. Gucci. Prada. Different companies. Same story: racist ads and products, public backlash, then an apology. How does this keep happening? When Black voices aren’t in the room, companies miss what should’ve been obvious.

AI is opening Pandora’s box. Black communities already face discrimination in hiring, housing, healthcare, policing, and access to opportunity. AI can automate those same biases and spread them faster, farther, with less accountability. We need stronger rules and real oversight.

On September 15, 1963, white supremacists bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four Black girls. They targeted a church that had become a center of the Civil Rights Movement. Honor their lives by continuing to fight. Until Justice is Real.

In a win for voters, the Supreme Court has rejected Trump’s attempt to reinstate restrictions on mail voting ahead of November’s midterm elections. For generations, Black communities have fought to expand voting access. Court rulings matter, but people have always driven progress.

Bribery? Is that where we are? Trump promised to give Americans $5k if the GOP wins the upcoming midterm elections. This is just another one of his empty promises while he fails to make groceries affordable, lower gas prices, and improve our healthcare. It’s a desperate attempt to get votes.

They call it “budget cuts.” We call it what it is: another attack on Black history. Across the country, Black Studies are being cut, merged, and pushed aside as Trump and Republicans wage a broader war on how race and history are taught. We won’t let them erase it.

Your grocery list shouldn’t come with a side of “wait… is this going to make me sick?” 🤢 Safe food shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code or your bank account. We need to put public health first. Check your fridge. Check the recalls. Check on your people. And demand better.

You haven’t gotten a tariff refund check, right? Corporations are. We paid $231 BILLION in tariff costs—roughly $1,745 per family—yet we’re not getting a refund. Bottom line: Big corporations are getting billions back in tariff refunds. Our community keeps paying the price.

Target is “looking closely at how it happened.” Start by looking at what you cut. No DEI. A blackface-evoking costume modeled by a Black child passed through every step of approval. You can’t sideline Black employees, insult Black communities, and expect Black dollars at checkout.

America was built on Black labor. A project born from bondage. 406 years ago, Black people were brought here in chains. Yet we survived, resisted, created, organized, and built. Black history isn’t a footnote to American history. It is American history. #ColorOfChange #BlackHistory #1619

What if the housing crisis isn’t just about housing? For Black families, rising costs and unequal access to wealth are widening the homeownership gap and making it harder to build generational wealth. We need a renters’ tax credit, more affordable housing, and a fairer tax code.
