What is happening in Oklahoma is a reminder that this country has never built an enforcement system that stayed confined to its original target.

Black women's vital role in social change often goes unrecognized, but their leadership and activism continue to drive progress.

Two people have died, and an estimated 6,000 people are still without power in Nashville, after a devastating winter storm.

Sheriff Bilal didn’t mince words or cower before the Trump administration; she said it with her chest: ICE is not the law.

Now, despite drops in youth crime and on the heels of Hurricane Katrina’s 20th anniversary, Trump has asserted control in D.C. and encouraged law enforcement to “knock the hell” out of young people “because it is the only language they understand.” I’ve worked with youth for 15 years, and I know our young people to understand the language of care. They can feel that care when we end the criminalization of our children, and pass legislation like the People’s Response Act [summerlee.house.gov], which offers tangible opportunities and solutions to help our children by including funding for workforce development, mentorship, and afterschool programs.
