Protect Voting Rights

How convenient that corporations publicly support Black lives and Black voters when it is good marketing for them, yet continue to underhandedly support politicians currently pushing voter suppression bills that will impact those very Black communities. The Georgia Legislature recently passed #SB241 & #HB531, some of the worst voter suppression bills that will erase historic gains of expanding voting access. #ThisIsHowYouCan hold these corporations accountable for their super

Take Action to Shut Down Biased Pro-Police Legislation

There are quite a few items in the news regarding criminal justice reform, police accountability, and police brutality and violence. Two pieces of legislation (SB 211 & HR 7085) would be a particularly big win for the movement to end police brutality and promote accountability and authentic action toward firing oft-cited violent officers. So what would the laws be and how can we help? #ThisIsHowYouCan Lawmakers in Kentucky have advanced a bill that would level a misdemeanor c

Protest "Music," Sia's Golden Globe-Nominated, Ableist Film on Autism

The Golden Globes isn't having a good year. Actually, they haven't had a good reputation in quite some time. They're even bringing back fan-favorites Amy Phoeler and Tina Fey to host - and it won't be enough. This year, the awards show has come under fire after snubbing shows like "I May Destroy You" and "Bridgerton" in favor of critically-mocked "Emily In Paris." But wait, there's more! The 2021 Golden Globes is also in the news getting panned for nominating Australian singe

Rethinking Thanksgiving

Some Indigenous Peoples refer to ‘Thanksgiving’ as the ‘National Day of Mourning.’ It is a day founded in a myth about this country’s origin--one that reframes a long history of attempted genocide as a friendly feast. This year many people are mourning loved ones lost to COVID, as well as state and vigilante violence. So what does 'Thanksgiving' even mean this year anyways? Let's rethink. This ‘Thanksgiving’ let’s look at the myths and lies the US is founded on and get aligne
