U.S. Senator-elect @scott_colom (D-MS) on how faith shaped his campaign: "You need faith. And I'll tell you, throughout this campaign, there were many times I had to have faith."
Mississippi showed up! From the Delta to the Gulf Coast, voters overcame barriers, pushed back against intimidation, and made their voices heard at the ballot box.
We stood alongside Mississippi voters every step of the way, working to protect their right to vote and ensure every ballot was counted.

“They’re trying to create a chilling effect.”
@DerrickNAACP isn’t mincing words about Senate Republicans’ demand that Mississippi election officials separate and preserve affidavit ballots.
We sat down with him at the Mississippi @NAACP headquarters in Jackson to talk about what’s at stake for voters as the count continues.

NAACP General Counsel Kristen Clarke:
Organizations like the NAACP and others do a lot of work on voter education to make sure that communities understand the rules and requirements for voting.
What they don't deserve is the risk of encountering people on behalf of the United States Department of Justice who are there to intimidate or create an atmosphere that would discourage people from freely exercising their right to vote.

People over profits. Period.
NAACP just intervened in the $67B energy deal reshaping Virginia's "data center alley" because Black communities have borne the brunt of problematic energy issues far too long.
Civil rights and environmental justice must be front and center when fossil fuel use is being discussed, and the cost of utilities is on the line.
We've advocated against shutoffs, for renewable energy projects, and for low-income energy assistance, and we're just getting started.
Are we going to act like this is normal?
When a sitting president boasts about the "very bad things" he could have done to his political rivals, that's not bravado. It's unchecked power and, quite frankly, threatening.

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee sues the Trump administration, alleging taxpayer-funded television ads violate propaganda law. apnews.com/article/trump-tax…
President Trump's recent remarks suggesting Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego are unconscionable and cannot be laughed off as a joke or explained away.
For a president to invite another country to attack his own citizens is disqualifying, disgraceful, and shameful.
To say this, then turn around and come to Baltimore to praise the Navy? We are witnessing a president completely disconnected from the very military service members and families he is inciting violence against.
President Trump defended the war with Iran during a campaign rally in Nebraska, calling its economic impact a “small price to pay” for keeping the U.S. and the world safe.
“They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego,” Trump said while discussing the threat he says Iran poses to the U.S. He also called the war “artificial” and said he expects it to end “very soon.” Trump was in Nebraska campaigning for Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts ahead of the November midterms.
