Community Action: Good Trouble Mass Call TODAY
The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, the stakes are high to keep voting power in the hands of the people.
We’re witnessing a Jim-Crow era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms and silence Black and Brown communities to consolidate their power.
People fought, bled, and died for these protections. The Court has dismissed those sacrifices with the stroke of a pen. But this fight is far from over. While they are trying to strip away our voice, we still do have the right to vote and we need to continue to vote and make our voices heard.
👉 Join us for a Good Trouble: Mass Call on TODAY at 6 p.m. CT to discuss how we can act now to show Solidarity with the South and build towards our Good Trouble Weekend of Action and Freedom Summer.
We'll hear from movement leaders on the road ahead for voting rights, including how you can participate in actions this weekend and in the upcoming Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action on July 17th.

Community Action: Protect the Equal Access Rule
The Trump administration is once again attempting to dismantle protections for trans and intersex people.
Last month, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed repealing the Equal Access Rule. The proposed rule would require that providers adhere to Trump’s redefinition of “gender”—clearly targeting trans, nonbinary, and intersex people.
The Equal Access Rule has stood for over a decade and helps prevent gender-based discrimination against people seeking federally funded housing resources.
👉 You can submit a comment urging HUD to REJECT this rule change and protect the Equal Access Rule.
