Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

"By making huge cuts to health care, undermining protections for care workers, and attacking early education programs, the Trump administration is pushing forward a series of regressive policies that, one by one, fulfill its true agenda."

Ultimately, these four attacks reveal the Trump administration’s hypocrisy. It claims to be supporting women having and raising children, but these policy decisions have all made it harder for women with families to survive.
