From attacking our freedom to control our bodies to trying to keep people who've changed our last names from voting, we know this regime wants to control women & decide our futures for us. But we're coming together to defend our freedoms. #HandsOffOurVote [🎨 via Amplifier Art]

“AFFORDABILITY” has become a buzzy term for inflation, cost of living, and other abstract economic challenges. But its impacts are very real. Our new guide talks about how to build a positive vision for a people-centered economy that works for all of us.

[video repost from Jess Craven and Public Citizen] When we say "name the villains" – greedy politicians and the billionaires padding their pockets – it's not hypothetical! These are the people making decisions about our lives & futures. We need to to demand they pay what they owe & #FundOurFutures.

Most Americans believe voters should pick our leaders. But this regime wants to decide who votes based on our skin color and what’s in our wallets. We know "We the people" means ALL of us, & we're voting for our freedoms this November. #HandsOffOurVote [🎨 via Amplifier Art]

Don't forget: Paying taxes is civic participation. That understanding is how we build the case for what taxes should be – putting our money toward what our communities need, from good schools to quality healthcare. For more, view our #FundOurFutures messaging research & guide.

Pro-tip: Say, "Make wealthy corporations pay what they truly owe" instead of, "Make the rich pay their fair share." Why? The rich are actively taking the wealth we create – we need to call that out.

We are in the fight of our lives against fascism - a force that seeks to control women - from what we do with our bodies to how we live our lives. The only way to defeat this force is to repudiate it wherever it manifests, whether in legislation, executive decree, or interpersonal action.

This is the MAGA Murder Regime. They will destroy anything and everything that keeps them from complete and total power. Refusal to fight them on every front - especially targeting the most vulnerable - allows them to flourish. We will not "affordability argument" our way to ending fascism.

Graphic with two sections. The top half features a close-up photo of the Progress Pride flag — a fabric flag showing the traditional rainbow stripes alongside chevron stripes in pink, light blue, white, brown, and black representing trans and LGBTQ+ people of color, with a yellow section on the left featuring a purple intersex circle. The bottom half has a cream background with large bold serif text reading "Pride is an act of freedom." Smaller body text below reads: "The freedom to: safely move around our communities, live authentically, access essential healthcare, see ourselves in our history, and love who we love."

The MAGA regime and their billionaire backers are taking everything we've created to care for each other. Their game plan is to divide us based on our background, who we love and the color of our skin. We defeat them by demanding a future where all of us have the freedom to thrive.

Wanna know who took your money? The people with all the money. And if they can talk you into thinking it's anyone else, make you "look over there" and point your finger in another direction, they will just keep taking not only money but our power to fight back against them.

Data center fight is giving people first hand experience that the many can take on the money. Once people feel what solidarity can achieve, it becomes that much harder to divide & distract. There's a reason why unions members less susceptible to far right than same demographic folks not in unions.

This #PrideMonth, we honor Marsha P. Johnson, a mother of the trans & queer liberation movement. No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us. Together we must light the way to a better future, where people of all races & genders are free to be ourselves & thrive.

Bold hand-lettered text at the top reads "No Pride for Some of Us without Liberation for All of Us." Text on the lower left reads: "Marsha 'Pay It No Mind' Johnson was a mother of the trans+ queer liberation movement. She dedicated her life to helping trans youth, sex workers and poor and incarcerated queers." Text on the lower right reads: "We honor her legacy by supporting trans women of color to Live + Lead."
