SHOCKER: In Arizona, wealthier zip codes use school vouchers significantly more than low-income ones. This is what Gov. Abbott wants: to gut public education and subsidize wealthy families already sending their kids to private school. We won't let him get away with it.

Her legislative district overlapped much of Ward 6 where she has had the overwhelming support of the electorate, and we believe the people's voice has an absolute place in this appointment.

Georgia has passed a law forbidding bail funds from contributing to people's bonds. It is worth noting that when MLK was bailed out of Birminghan jail, he didn't fund his own bond. The United Auto Workers, and others, pooled tens of thousands of dollars to liberate him.

When 2 sanitation workers were killed by a malfunctioning garbage truck in Memphis , the workers went on strike on Feb 12, 1968. The strike's slogan — "I Am a Man"—was small enough to fit on a placard but powerful enough to unite the city. #BlackHistoryMonth @reutherlibrary
