Trump on Surveillance, Protest, and Free Speech
Enforcing the law is the central role of the executive branch, regardless of who is president. And though Donald Trump has threatened to abuse this power, the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ will work to change the politics around the First Amendment and individual liberty so politicians are more likely to defend them.
Trump on Voting Rights
A second Trump administration will renew efforts to erode constitutional foundations of our democracy, make it harder for Americans to vote. The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ defeated the previous Trump administrationβs attempt to do this and will use every tool at our disposal to stop it again.
Trump on DEI and Anti-Discrimination Law
The 2024 Trump campaignβs βanti-white racismβ rhetoric threatens to unravel decades of progress on racial equality and civil rights. The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ outlines our plan to fight back.
Out of Step: U.S. Policy on Voting Rights in Global Perspective
The Sentencing Project, Human Rights Watch, and the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ today released a new report, βOut of Step: U.S. Policy on Voting Rights in Global Perspective,β revealing that the United States is out of step with the rest of the world in disenfranchising large numbers of citizens based on criminal convictions.
As of 2022, over 4.4 million people in the United States were disenfranchised due to a felony conviction, and thousands more eligible voters were unable to cast their ballot due to their incarceration status.
The report examines the laws of 136 countries around the world with populations of 1.5 million and above, and finds that the majority β 73 of the 136 β never or rarely deny a personβs right to vote because of a criminal conviction. In the other 63 countries, where some laws deny the right to vote in broader sets of circumstances, the United States sits at the top of the restrictive end of the spectrum, disenfranchising a wider swath of people overall.
Trump on Abortion
The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ examines how a second Trump administration would further imperil abortion access and reproductive rights nationwide β and our roadmap to fight back.
