In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Today is #LatinaEqualPay Day. Latina women who work full time earn only 54¢ for every $1 earned by a white male. This pay gap harms Latinas and their families. Join us in demanding oversight of the EEOC to make sure every worker is protected from pay discrimination and bias. https://bit.ly/48lhxfU

Support staff make our schools work. From bus drivers to classroom aides, they care for students every day. But appreciation without a living wage isn’t respect—it’s neglect. It’s time to turn gratitude into action. Read how support staff are fighting for the pay they deserve:

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Instead, Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding from public schools that promote an inclusive education for all students.
