Today we honor #IndigenousPeoplesDay by telling the truth: this land was stolen, stories erased. The same forces built into America’s foundation still harm marginalized communities. ✊🏾

Across Alabama, there's a growing push to erase, rewrite, and politicize our history. 📌 SB5 blocked – Archives stay independent 📌 HB139 failed – No protections from hair-based discrimination Stay loud. Stay organized. #ALPolitics #PowerInCollective #CivilRights #PeoplePower

Before it was a buzzword, “woke” was a call to consciousness.
Garvey said it. Lead Belly sang it. We lived it.
Now they weaponize it to silence truth, but we know better.

Fair justice is on the line in Alabama. SB138 (Second Chance Bill) passed. SB118 (Expanded No Bail) moves to the 2026 ballot. Our communities are fighting for fair justice every day. #ALPolitics #FairJustice. #ALPolitics #CriminalJusticeReform

This legislative session, Alabamians made history, Juneteenth is now a state holiday. Weeks later, communities across the state celebrated freedom, legacy, and the power of our voices. #ALPolitics #Liberation

For too long, Alabamians with disabilities were denied basic restroom access. Now, thanks to SB83, adult changing tables will be required. Dignity won. Access won. Alabama showed up. #ALPolitics #alpolitics

It's Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but this year, the wage gap isn’t the only problem. The latest jobs report shows Black women’s unemployment is rising. Paid less. Hired less. Promoted less. Protected less.✊🏾 Today, we demand equal pay, equity, justice, and care. #PayBlackWomen

🗳️ The right to vote is ours. But in Alabama, lawmakers let HB71 die in committee, blocking early voting & keeping barriers in place. This was a choice. We deserve better. #VotingRights #ALPolitics

What does freedom really mean in America?

As fireworks go up, let’s tell the truth: independence without liberation is just a performance. Our Executive Director, Anneshia Hardy, calls us to dig deeper this July 4th

Freedom was declared on July 4, 1776, but not for all. As attacks on our rights grow, we reflect on freedom denied, not granted. This Independence Day, we fight for true liberation. #FourthOfJuly #Justice #freedom  #democracy

On June 19, 1865,  2 yrs after the Emancipation Proclamation, Black people in Galveston, TX were finally told they were free. Juneteenth marks that delayed liberation. We’ve always honored our past, gathered in joy and carried the legacy forward. #Juneteenth #BlackLiberation

On this day in 1967, Loving v. Virginia struck down bans on interracial marriage, affirming that love is a human right. 💍

Black Music is memory, movement, & a mirror to the times. This #BlackMusicMonth, we honor Stevie Wonder , a voice that shaped sound and shook systems. His music moved more than charts. It moved us. 🖤 #StevieWonder #AlabamaValues #PowerInCollective #BHM2025
