Healthcare is a human right
It is a moral outrage for a country as wealthy as ours to leave 60 million people with no reliable access to health care and tens of millions more with inadequate or overly expensive coverage. [READ MORE]
equal rights amendment
Ratifying the ERA in the timeliest manner possible is a priority. Our strategy is two-fold—removing the ERA ratification deadline on the national level by Educating Congress to support Joint Resolutions SJRES 5 and HJRES 53 while simultaneously organizing in targeted un-ratified states to gain the three additional required to make the ERA the 28th Amendment of the United States Constitution.

stop global warming
Here’s a simple definition of global warming. (And yes, it’s really happening.) Over the past 50 years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history.

Stacey Abrams, Fair Fight, Greg Palast and many others have been fighting and suing Georgia’s Secretary of State and winning.
democracy is giving all citizens the right to vote.
“Whites had already posted a sign on the Black church in Taylor County, Georgia: “The first Negro to vote will never vote again.” Snipes was not deterred.
