A win for Michigan workers & voters! 🎉 In 2018, the right-wing legislature used an "adopt and amend" strategy to subvert the people's will. But the Michigan Supreme Court found it unconstitutional, restoring 2018 ballot initiatives increasing min. wage & expanding sick leave!

#OTD 59 years ago, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law to address racist voter suppression tactics and efforts to silence the voices of Black Americans. Today, the promise of an inclusive democracy remains unfulfilled for many. #RestoreTheVRA

On #MomsEqualPayDay, we recognize the crucial contributions working moms make to their communities and economy despite being undervalued and underpaid.

The gender wage gap and occupational segregation rob working mothers of tens of thousands of dollars every year. That means less money for rent, childcare and more. #Equalpay is essential for families to thrive. #MomsEqualPayDay

After a Supreme Court term riddled with ploys to restrict our most basic rights and freedoms, it's now up to Congress to restore balance between our branches of government. Our freedoms, families, and futures depend on it. Don't miss our take: demos.nyc/3yf4Nbd

Our democracy is strongest when we can all demonstrate power at the polls. Voter suppression tactics silence our political voices, especially for Black and brown people. One such attack is underway in AZ and we're working with partners to stop them: demos.nyc/4fMI3jL

This past July marked 15 years since the federal minimum wage last increased—the longest period without an increase in its 86-year history. Workers, particularly Black and brown workers, cannot afford any more delays. #RaiseTheWage demos.nyc/3T2iqBB

Today is #NHPIEqualPayDay, otherwise known as the day NHPI women’s wages catch up to what white, non-hispanic men made in 2023. Bridging this massive gap in pay is a critical step toward building a just, inclusive multiracial democracy that includes and works for everyone.

The Roberts Court has slowly chipped power away from the legislative and executive branches, threatening the well-being of people of color. But Congress can call on its constitutional authority to regulate the Court and safeguard our fundamental rights: demos.nyc/3yf4Nbd
