We’re shaping the promise of our democracy through voter registration and participation. Because #WhenWeAllVote, we can change the world.

58 years ago today, Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first Black Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

When President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Justice Marshall, he said it was “the right thing to do, the right time to do it, the right man, and the right place.”

There have still only been three Black Justices out of the 116 people ever sworn into the Supreme Court. Justice Clarence Thomas succeeded Marshall when he retired in 1991, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in on June 30, 2022.

Today we remember Denise McNair (11), Addie Mae Collins (14), Cynthia Morris Wesley (14), and Carole Robertson (14). 62 years ago, they were senselessly murdered in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. It was the third bombing in 11 days.

We cannot forget where we’ve been or what we’re fighting for. Generations before us faced discrimination, hostility, and violence — but kept on fighting. For equality, for freedom, for justice. For US. And now, it’s our turn. We have families, futures, and legacies to protect.

Rest in power, Denise, Addie, Cynthia, and Carole. We will continue to fight in your honor. 🕊️✊🏾

Happy heavenly 80th birthday to the icon, the legend, the activist, Marsha P. Johnson. 🕊️🏳️‍🌈

Marsha was a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ youth, unhoused Americans, and those affected by H.I.V. and AIDS. She was also on the front lines of the Stonewall uprising.

On July 6th, 1992, Ms. Johnson’s body was found in the Hudson River off the West Village Piers in New York. She was only 46 years old. 1992 was the worst year on record for anti-LGBTQ+ violence at the time, according to @antiviolence.

May Marsha’s legacy inspire us to stand with and protect the most underserved among us.

On this day in 1848, hundreds of people gathered in New York at the Seneca Falls Convention — the first documented women’s rights convention in the United States. 177 years later, we are still fighting for equal access to the ballot box, especially for Black and Brown women.

Remember: When All Women Vote, we have the power to shape our communities and change this country.

The 14th Amendment was ratified on July 9, 1868, granting citizenship to anyone born or naturalized in the United States — including formerly enslaved Black people. This bill also provided all U.S. citizens with “equal protection under the laws,” marking a critical turning point in the fight for civil rights.

157 years later, the 14th Amendment is under attack. In January, President Trump issued an executive order to end birthright citizenship in the U.S. Activists and public officials fought back in at least 20 states, temporarily blocking the order.

But two weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that lower federal courts do not have the power to block a nationwide order. This decision could put more than 150,000 people born in this country every year at risk of being denied their constitutional rights — including the right to vote.

The president should not get to take away rights the Constitution granted us over 100 years ago.

Join us in the fight to ensure every American can participate in our democracy. Get registered and ready to vote in this year’s local elections now at WhenWeAllVote.org.

There is so much going on in our country and world right now. Many of us are feeling exhausted by the news cycle and constant attacks on our communities. So before anything else, please take care of yourself and your loved ones at this time. The best way to get through all of this is together. 💜🫂

Many of us feel overwhelmed or like our power is slipping away, so remember this: The power of the people is greater than the people in power. Our communities are relying on us to keep making our voices heard on the issues impacting us most — including at the ballot box.

Whenever you are ready to tap in to the continued fight for our freedoms, we are here for you. If you are looking for something to do right now, here are three actions you can take:

Immigration raids. City-wide protests. Thousands of national troops flooding the streets. Communities living in fear. What’s happening in Los Angeles is not normal — it’s a tragedy that puts our families, our freedoms, and our futures at risk.

While we don’t have all the answers to what comes next, here’s what we do know: The power of the people is greater than the people in power.

Together, we can protest. We can make our voices heard. And with more than 100,000 local elections this year, we can vote on the issues we care about most. Because real, systemic change demands both activism in the streets and power at the ballot box.

During this time of unrest and uncertainty, our hearts are with everyone impacted, and we will continue the fight for our communities. If you are ready to join us, make sure you are registered and ready to vote right now at WhenWeAllVote.org/check.
