The @aclu.org has successfully stopped more migrants from being deported, but 238 Venezuelans are still trapped in an abusive prison in El Salvador despite having NO criminal record or any access to due process. Please contact your reps to protect the rights of these men and bring them home.

Contact your House of Reps representative and ask them to OPPOSE the "SAVE Act," which is actually a voter disenfranchisement strategy. Only citizens can vote and we have thorough processes to ensure that. This bill would make it easy to cancel registrations for things like moving and name changes

The Federal government is increasing inefficiency by firing essential jobs then scrambling to rehire the same workers, making cuts without assessing what is legal and responsible, and cutting programs that cost a fraction of the benefits they provide.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Overall, Costco stocks, after prominently promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, are still significantly greater than they were a month ago, while a competitor that opted to distance itself from these values is doing far worse. #DEI
