Reflecting on our latest findings, it's clear: Alabama's youth justice system is failing its most vulnerable. The cost is high, not just in dollars but in futures lost. Our report outlines these truths and charts a path toward meaningful reform. Let's uplift all children.

So lovely to spend time with Senator Laphonza Butler strategizing to protect our voting rights. California is lucky to have her as a leader in this time!

Many voters only realize they’re no longer registered to vote when they arrive at the polls! 🗳️

There is some nonsense going on in Caddo Parish (Shreveport), Louisiana.

Black man and white man run against each other for sheriff. Black man wins by 1 vote. He's the first Black sheriff elected in this majority-Black parish.

There's a recount, as you'd expect. He wins that…

'Many communities ... have gained recognition, protection and formal equality under the law. Yet, inequities and disparities still exist.'
