@FidelityChrtbl and the Klan don't have anything in common, right? WRONG! They’ve both attacked civil rights, specifically by targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center. Their actions aren't just baffling. They’re deplorable. Help us fight back: coc.is/FidelityIsBlacklistin…

During our Lugenia Burns Hope Tour stop at Jackson State University, the Tigers said: “present.” At JSU, students, faculty, families, and friends joined us to empower communities by discussing reproductive health and bodily autonomy. You can join us too: coc.is/liberatedbodiespledge.

We’re not stopping until people understand that Fidelity cut off funding for the Southern Poverty Law Center, the organization that helped bankrupt the Klan… and now they’re blocking us! Donate here to show Fidelity that blocking us only makes us louder: bit.ly/3W2xuDA

You should care about making a difference in your community, showing up for those who can’t, and fighting for a better future. Election Day is 2 weeks away. It’s time to research who we are voting for and what policies will help make a difference near you!

“JUSTIFIED.” That’s how Mississippi’s AG describes the use of force that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. Kohen deserved to grow up. Black families deserve answers, not cover-ups. From Kohen to Nolan Wells, we cannot let Black lives be swept under the rug and normalize injustice.

A secret is hiding in plain sight: billions in civil rights funding flow through donor-advised funds that are unilaterally deciding where it can and can’t go. Fidelity. Vanguard. DAFgiving360. Goldman Sachs. We see you. We’re paying attention. And we’re holding you accountable.

It’s a chaotic time. There’s a lot going on. Black folks – and everyone, really – are facing many challenges. Today, we encourage you to pause for a moment. Breathe. Take in the beauty of life. Reset if that’s what you need. Find some room in your busy schedule for Black joy.

Fighting for our right to reproductive health and rights is ALL of our responsibility. Why? Because access to adequate healthcare doesn’t just affect us individually – it’s a shared issue. Help us fight for reproductive rights: coc.is/liberatedbodiespledge

31 years ago today, hundreds of thousands of Black men gathered in Washington, D.C. for the Million Man March. It was a moment of unity, reflection, responsibility, and collective power. Recognizing what becomes possible when people come together.

The Black Panthers changed our understanding of organizing, resistance, and community building, and their messages still ring true. Today we honor these leaders who brought us together, who challenged restrictive structures, and who fought for a better future.

The Black Panther Party was founded in response to racial inequality, police brutality, and systemic oppression. Members practiced armed self-defense against police, which resulted in the FBI, state, and local law enforcement groups targeting them.

This is the abuse of power we’ve warned about. Rep. Omar is a Somali-born woman who has long been a target of Trump’s attacks. The racial and political context cannot be ignored. If we let the powerful intimidate their critics, what stops them next time? We stand with Ilhan.

From the SPLC to Color Of Change, the playbook is clear: target the groups that fight back. So when funds cut off the ability to give to the Southern Poverty Law Center, it’s part of the plan. They named Color Of Change too. But we’re still here. And we’re not backing down.
