Republican Medicaid cuts target Black families. Nearly 60% of Black children rely on Medicaid and cutting it risks higher maternal deaths, infant mortality, and fewer supports in schools. #HandsOffMedicaid
The infant mortality rate for Black babies is more than two times higher than the rate for white babies. Cutting Medicaid, which covers 65% of births to Black pregnant people, is unconscionable. We must stop these attacks. #HandsOffMedicaid

Community members documenting ICE raids shouldn’t be met with force. The right to bear witness is a cornerstone of democracy and critical to protecting immigrant families and workers.
