70 years ago today, the Supreme Court affirmed the decision in Browder v. Gayle and ruled bus segregation in Montgomery unconstitutional. The boycott built the pressure. Their case won the fight. Organizing and legal action, working together, changed the law.

The energy Justin Pearson is bringing is exactly the kind of energy we’ll need all newly elected officials to bring. We did the thing. We put our vote down, flipped it and reversed it. Now it’s time for them – and all of us – to 👏🏿GET 👏🏿TO 👏🏿WORK: coc.is/join

This Veterans Day, we honor Prince Estabrook, Peter Salem, Salem Poor, and every Black veteran who served a country that had not yet kept its promises to them. We continue to fight that fight. #UntilJusticeIsReal
Honoring Veterans Day Once let the Black man get upon his person the brass letter, U.S., let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pocket, there is no power on earth which can deny that he has earned the right to citizenship. Frederick Douglass, 1863

The national voucher program is a scheme. We’ve said it before. Our partners at the @NEAToday have too. It’s time the states listen and reject the program.

The national voucher program is a scheme, and its new regulations further demonstrate an intent to harm students, public schools, families, and communities. It’s about creating a private system that makes billions. Let’s fight back. coc.is/voucherprogram

Despite Mississippi leaders making voting as hard as possible, Scott Colom is still in the lead. And we have the Black folks to thank for that. When we say that nobody should count us out, we mean it.
Scott Colom now leads in MISSISSIPPI A state with: No traditional early voting. No same-day voter registration. No online registration for new voters. Strict absentee voting requirements. Photo ID requirements for in-person voting. Citizenship verification requirements for voter registration. 68,731 Mississippians disenfranchised because of felony convictions. A difficult voting rights restoration process. Arbitrary voter purges. Frequent polling place changes. And Colom might win anyway.

We saw huge wins across the country, and what really made the difference was that majority-Black counties outperformed many majority-white counties this year, especially in the South. Don’t count Black folks out, because we show up.
Color Of Change focused on the UNTAPPED POTENTIAL in Black communities often overlooked.
