Thrilled to hear Loretta Ross today! 2 gems so far:

“We can’t turn on our allies. We’re facing fascism, people. We’re having debates while they’re having conversations about how to eliminate all of us.”

“Those who oppose reproductive justice only have 2 things on their side: lies and violence.”

The Skrmetti decision looks an awful lot like Geduldig v. Aiello (1974), which (obviously wrongly) said that pregnancy discrimination was not sex discrimination. In that case, Congress responded by immediately passing the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. We need policymakers to step up now.

How one Illinois man is studying to be a lawyer – from inside a Minnesota prison "A lot of the time, we are portrayed as people who are just beyond redemption," says Ronald Palm. "But the truth is that some of us just [weren’t] given the chance to excel."

So proud of Ron and all of our EJP students!

National Black History Month, 2025 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION  Today, I am very honored to recognize February 2025 as National Black History Month.

In a rare moment of complying with the law, Trump did issue his annual proclamation for Black History Month (this is mandated by Congress). It feels like those who are erasing Black history right now are doing it because they want to, not because they have to.
