Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the Civil Rights Movement and a lifelong champion for justice, voting rights, & economic opportunity.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Utility bills are sky high. Instead of an ‘all of the above’ energy approach, the Trump administration is gutting clean energy projects like solar here in Arizona.
The affordability crisis is getting worse by design.

Since then, she has continued to prove herself incapable of leading DHS. If the President won't fire her, Congress should.

We’re watching an organization that’s now the largest military law enforcement force in the country deploy people to our neighborhoods who are untrained, unqualified, and unaccountable.
There's a reason why Democratic & Republican governors are saying that we can’t allow this to continue to happen.

Trump sent federal agents into Minnesota to create chaos and unrest, and as a result two people are dead.
Instead of bringing the heat down, the Admin is attempting to smear an ICU nurse as an ‘assassin’ and ‘domestic terrorist.’
That doesn’t change what we saw. Believe your eyes, not their lies.
