    Jennifer Lopez posted on Instagram: “Other people can try to build walls, keep us out or put us in cages. We are proud to recognize that all of us together are what makes this beautiful country truly great.”

  3. 2020 is the election of our lifetime. Turnout will be high, and our democracy may hinge on a single principle: If polls aren't prepared, our voices won’t be heard. We can and must act now to ensure that every voter can cast a ballot that counts.

    There are a lot of people spreading unconfirmed theories about what went wrong who are in positions of authority and should absolutely know better. Please, just wait.

  5. Last night’s chaos only adds fuel to the fire for calls that Iowa not be the first primary. The state’s demographics, the racist disenfranchisement law, the idiosyncratic system... but one thing is also clear: voting and election administration shouldn’t be this hard in the U.S.

    Raise your hand on Twitter if you don’t actually understand what this Iowa caucusing business is or why Iowans vote this way in the primaries

  7. Wow indeed. And Trump has another 11th Circuit pick, pending on Senate floor, with a record of hostility to voting rights. Andrew Brasher filed a brief asking SCOTUS to gut the VRA & argued “Congress violated the Constitution” when it reauthorized VRA in 2006. He must be stopped.

  8. This: “The physical and legal barriers built into the structure of the caucuses leave out large swaths of the population, whether they are disabled, work long hours, or were once convicted of a crime."

    Think about this: — Iowa is 90.7% white — Iowa is now the only state with a lifetime voting ban for people with a felony conviction — Black people make up 4% of Iowa's population but 26% of its prison population How is this representative of our electorate?

    McConnell’s impeachment strategy has been to make the outcome so obvious that the public becomes exhausted by the process. But step back and look at what has been revealed. This is a crisis, and it’s scarier for reaching far beyond Trump himself.

  15. I've had the pleasure of working with for 15+ years & know she’ll bring deep knowledge & passionate activism to SPLC. Her tenacity & ability to navigate tough situations will serve the movement well – we’re fortunate to have her continue in the fight in this role!

    Today is the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution. Since our founding in 1940 a core focus of ⁦⁩’s work has been devoted to challenging voter suppression schemes created to limit or deny the African American vote.

  18. Trump is running on criminal justice reform? Really? How exactly does that square with the fact that both of his AGs Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr have undone almost all Obama era justice and police reform, target progressive DAs, press policies of mass incarceration at every turn?

  19. “Today, this guarantee is enforced primarily throughout the Voting Rights Act of 1965…” Trump’s proclamation ignores that the VRA remains gutted, just as congressional Republicans ignore vital legislation to fully restore the landmark civil rights law.
