No one should have to choose between a healthy pregnancy and a paycheck. Tell Congress it's time to protect the health and economic security of pregnant workers by passing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. aclu.org/cosponsor-pwfa

Happy 420! Weed should be legal, yes. But remember that if we legalize without righting the wrongs of past enforcement, we risk reinforcing the decades of disproportionate harm people of color have and continue to endure. Hope that didn't kill the vibe. aclu.org/news/criminal-…
