In 1974, Gary Tyler was a Black student bussed into a newly desegregated Louisiana high school. When a white mob attacked his bus and a white student was killed, Gary was wrongfully sentenced to death by an all white jury.
Gary Tyler Spent 42 Years in Prison for a Crime He Didn't Commit. Racism Put Him There. | ACLU
Tyler’s case shows how bias, fear, and discrimination drive wrongful convictions — and why confronting racial injustice in the legal system remains urgent today.

For the first time since 1993, the Trump admin has issued instructions *not* to commemorate World AIDS Day.

Erasing our history won’t erase the epidemic. Silence = Death.

Today, however, Lambda Legal honors the ongoing fight for the rights and dignity of people living with HIV. ❤️

Deb Haaland is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and in 2021 made history as the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary.

She worked to address our country’s dark history of Indian boarding schools and made strides to include tribes in conservation and public lands management.

Apple and Google have immense power to shape what content is available on our smartphones. When they cave to government pressure to remove certain apps, politicians get to shape how we communicate.

We should be in control of what happens on our own phones — not the government or corporations.

During Trans Awareness Week, we celebrate the power, love, and resilience that all trans people hold to build a better gender-affirming world.

Trans Georgians are part of the fabric of the state. 🏳️‍⚧️

We honor the legacy of the tribes that inhabited our state long before it was Georgia, for their resilience and resistance. Everyday, let’s champion Indigenous justice.

The Supreme Court has allowed enforcement of an anti-trans passport policy. The ruling leaves trans Americans who updated their passports in limbo, unsure if they will be forced to revert to their assigned sex. https://bit.ly/4oZtz3I

No one should be denied self-determination over their identity.
