Spokane rose up strong for Families First—demanding care, justice, and an end to billionaires’ tax breaks. From Medicaid cuts to ICE raids, we said NO. This is about every family’s future. United and unshaken. #FamiliesFirst

A family at the “Family First” rally in Peekskill, N.Y., one of many rallies today across the country. The rallies protested the devastating impact of GOP budget cuts and Trump policies on children and their families.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody.

His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice."

Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

“Tax breaks for billionaires shouldn’t matter more than Cole’s life.”

We’re proud to fight alongside families like Victoria + Cole. Families whose lives are at stake as Congress moves to gut Medicaid. Rep. Ciscomani, we're watching. Kids depend on us! #NoMedicaidCuts!

We’re at the U.S. Capitol for the 24-hour #ProtectMedicaid vigil—because Medicaid is the backbone of care for millions, and it’s under attack.

We’re here to FIGHT BACK. When you come for our care, you come for all of us.
