Pauline came to the U.S. as a child. While detained by ICE in 2017, she was subjected to a nonconsensual gynecological procedure. Today, she is again in ICE custody. We are amplifying the call for Pauline's immediate release and her reunification with her family. #FreePauline

Pride emerged from rebellion. That struggle continues today: especially for queer and trans immigrants, Black and Brown communities, and those most targeted by systems of surveillance and punishment. We never needed corporate approval for our liberation. Happy Pride!

We honor the life and legacy of Assata Shakur and the sacrifices she made in the pursuit of freedom. In a time when communities continue to face criminalization, surveillance, and state violence, her example remains as relevant as ever. We carry that legacy forward.

This Earth Day, we reject the idea that extraction is progress. The future cannot be built by draining the earth. Data centers consume water, energy, and land. Black, Brown, immigrant, and working-class communities carry the burden. Protecting the planet is protecting people.

HBD to Dolores Huerta. Her legacy is a reminder that every person holds power, and every action can move us closer to justice. At a time when immigrants are increasingly targeted by crimmigration, that lesson is more urgent than ever.
