On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom and resilience while acknowledging the lasting impact of slavery. We must build a future where every Black American can thrive, free from discrimination. Our fight for racial justice continues. ✊🏽

Powerful truth from Michelle Obama that we must never forget: Strong men don't need to put down women to feel powerful. Real strength lifts others up. Donald Trump doesn’t show strength; he shows us what weakness looks like.

Dr. Rümeysa Öztürk has returned to Türkiye after completing her Ph.D. program in child study and human development. Last year, her life was disrupted when ICE targeted her unlawfully with detention and deportation in retaliation for an op-ed she co-wrote in support of Palestinian human rights.

Burgundy graphic with quote "“The time stolen from me by the U.S. government belongs not just to me, but to the children and youth I have dedicated my life to advocating for. With them in mind, I am choosing to return home as planned to continue my career as a woman scholar without losing more time to the state-imposed violence and hostility I have experienced in the United States – all for nothing more than co-signing an op-ed advocating for Palestinian rights.” The quote is attributed to Dr. Rümeysa Öztürk, Scholar unlawfully detained by the Trump administration for her speech, on her decision to return home to Türkiye. Below the quote is a photo of Dr. Öztürk in graduation garb, standing in front of a book shelf.

Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

Black and white image of Martin Luther King Jr with a quote of his on top of it. The quote reads "We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”"
