Washington, DC…Texas legislators put forth a bill that joins Georgia and Florida in advancing a state law that attacks the sacred right to vote. It’s part of an assault on democracy that we’ve seen far too often this year—and often disproportionately targeting Black and Brown Americans. It’s wrong and un-American. In the 21st century, we […]

Washington, DC…Across America, the pandemic is in retreat.
