Projecting conflict is not economic policy. Taking a page from authoritarians, the Trump Administration is reshaping the economy to benefit the wealthy elite–and working-class families are hurting as a result. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/13/bus…

Last month’s job report raised concerns about where the economy is headed. But one of the most telling stats is being missed: Black women’s unemployment rose to 6.3%, over 2x the rate for white women. It's time to embrace #BlackWomenBest in our values. bit.ly/4677Cbd

“Over two decades…voter suppression has evolved. It’s become administrative—built on paperwork, confusion, inconvenience, and ever-changing rules.” Efforts like this to undermine access to the ballot box strip us of our power to determine our future. bit.ly/4nijK02

Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women are being shortchanged for their labor, leaving entire communities behind. Achieving pay equity and ensuring safe working conditions for NHPI women is critical to giving everyone a fair chance to thrive. #NHPIWomensEqualPayDay

The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a betrayal. It hurts families now and robs us of the future we should be building for following generations. Here’s what we stand to lose to power-hoarding and greed: demos.org/blog/reconcili…

The Trump Administration has failed to deliver for everyday families, focusing instead on delivering massive tax cuts to the wealthiest elite. npr.org/2025/08/13/nx-…

72% of Trump's tax cuts will go to the richest fifth of Americans in 2026. But President Trump and Congressional Republicans continue to promote the idea that these tax cuts mainly benefit regular Americans. Here's what’s in it for the wealthy.

Millions of voters—including seniors and people living with disabilities—vote by mail to make their voices heard in our elections. Efforts to ban this effective and widely popular voting method are undemocratic and threaten to silence millions. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP food assistance and other essential services are hurting working people, including care workers and seniors. America’s unions are making sure everyone knows the devastating impacts of this big, ugly BS bill.

A few Senators are now raising alarm over a searchable citizenship database tied to the SAVE Act which is launching without transparency. The tool can verify the citizenship of US-born citizens—a first—triggering concerns about voter disenfranchisement. + n.pr/4nSJT6s

Black communities have always shaped the law even when justice was denied. Many important legal cases and battles affecting Black communities took place in August. From landmark rulings to laws that tried to hold us back, these moments show that Black history is American history.
