🚨 The U.S. government has shut down.

What it means:
⚠️ Federal workers furloughed
⚠️ National Parks closed
⚠️ SNAP/WIC benefits disrupted
⚠️ TSA + court delays

Some services like Social Security + Medicare continue, but shutdowns cost billions. Stay informed. 🗳️

Deepest gratitude to ACLU of Georgia for honoring us as part of the Legacy Table.

This recognition reflects not only our commitment, but our collective power-built alongside the ACLU, NAACP, and Urban League in the fight for civil and voting rights.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and reaffirm our commitment to a democracy built on respect, inclusion, and peace.

Violence must never replace dialogue—terrorism in all its forms is an assault on our shared humanity.
