As AI surveillance grows, whether we’re at home, at work, or out in our communities, we are all at risk. Sign up to learn from experts about the concrete steps you can take today.

That isn’t justice. Of course, people pushing this bill aren't seeking justice or a robust, diverse democracy. They want legal requirements for language access to be destroyed. Until that happens, they want to do the least possible to appear to comply.

AI makes injustice easy. END/

A proposed bill denies people who handle legal matters in another language the right to a human interpreter for court proceedings. Instead of a professional, they get shoddy AI systems that routinely get things wrong, even tho specific wording means the difference btw winning + losing in court. 2/

We’ll be watching to see if and how AI shows up and will support the fights against it. 💪

We are all better off when our neighbors, friends, and families can eat good and nutritious food. It’s a human right that should never be compromised by a machine or used as a political bargaining chip.

Though we have lingering questions on how and when funds will be distributed to states— here’s what we know: USDA has reduced the maximum SNAP allotments to 50 percent of households’ current SNAP amount for November 2025. Link here: www.fns.usda.gov/snap/benefit...

While we celebrate this as a short-term win, the available money ($4.5 billion) in the contingency funding will pay for only about half of November’s benefits; it costs the Federal Government nearly $9 billion to pay for the full month. Money that the Administration has.

BTAH is a community of battle-tested advocates fighting algorithm-based cuts and providing technical support for on the ground advocates who are pushing for accountability now and working towards a future where home care is universal, guaranteed and human centered. 💪 Need support? Reach out to us!

Too often states are outsourcing life-and-death decisions about who gets care to algorithms designed by private vendors whose priorities are to cut costs not provide needed care.

These automated tools often cut care with little explanation and leave families with no clear way to fight back. ❌
