We're at the Supreme Court today defending trans kids' freedom to play the sports they love.
Politicians are hoping to use this issue to legitimize their effort to push transgender people out of public life — we won’t allow it.
This case is about more than a game.

In a MAJOR win for our immigrant community against Trump's abuses, the NJ legislature passed an immigrant protections package that:
✅ Protects privacy
✅ Protects due process rights
✅ codifies the 2018 Immigrant Trust Directive

We condemn ICE's killing of a Minneapolis woman today and call on federal agents to withdraw from Minnesota immediately.
This tragedy is further proof that ICE is out of control, endangering our communities, and must end its lawless operations before anyone else is brutally hurt or killed.
