Stand up to the bullying tactics and do the right thing!
🚨 EEOC anti-harassment guidance rescinded—no public input. Millions of workers left unprotected.
Our Still Broken report shows 75% of harassment victims in law are women. The system is failing.

The callousness and cruelty continue.

If we were living under fascism right now, the words I’m writing would be a death sentence.
"The day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season, and like their predecessors of a century ago, reformers are focusing on consumers’ power to push back on the policies of the Trump administration, launching a campaign they call “We Ain’t Buying It,” writes HCR.
#Boycott
Critiquing the press is one thing.
But when a world leader repeatedly demeans women reporters, it's a different matter.
Many see this pattern intensifying, often with silence from elected officials.

Beware Nazis attacking universities to stifle eduction in the name of antisemitism.
There are so many rights being transgressed right now, but this is the essence: the disenfranchisement of millions, especially women and people of color. Call and show up.

Picture of Joe Biden and Kirsten Gillibrand, who is pushing him to adopt the ERA.
Joe Biden should 100% do this. Women deserve codified equal rights, esp on eve of whatever Trump will do to us. And it would ease the sting of how he glass cliffed Kamala Harris.
If Supreme Court tosses, that will only serve to energize this long-overdue effort. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...
