A year ago today, Quakers around the country sued the Trump admin. to stop ICE raids in houses of worship.
The case remains ongoing, and our call remains the same:
📣Congress must rein in ICE + protect sacred community spaces where everyone deserves to feel safe.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up.
Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

Much is on the line as Congress once again debates funding priorities.
We can build a society where everyone thrives, or we can take a grimmer path of scarcity. Our members of Congress need to hear from us. ⬇️

Curt Cignetti Taught Indiana Football How to Dream
The Hoosiers had long accepted their fate as a college football laughingstock. Now, they’re two wins away from winning the College Football Playoff national championship. Here’s how Cignetti changed everything—and transformed an Indiana fan base that’s discovering what a run like this can mean.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

If there's an election where you live, then you get to send a message on the policies and leadership you believe in - and begin changing the trajectory of this country.

🚨Today is a nationwide day of action to protect #SNAP!
42 million people are at risk of losing SNAP benefits on Nov. 1, and families will go hungry without urgent action from our leaders in D.C.
This is a critical moment to contact your members of Congress. Action resource ⬇️

The kid's are alright.
btw it's even better than what the OP claimed. The student journalists actually wrote an entire new solidarity themed paper under a different masthead so that IU administrators could not punish IU journalists for insubordination.
