Hi friend,

We’re kicking off the week with some powerful resistance: The Secretary of State for Nevada is suing Trump over his latest voting order, saying it violates the Constitution—and we couldn’t agree more. Add your name to support this challenge to protect voting rights »

In our Sunday poll, 56% of you said “seeing people organize and fight for justice” is what gives you hope during hard times. We see that spirit in courtrooms, classrooms, and rally crowds from LA to DC—and it’s making a difference.
