The Supreme Court declined to do their job again. Yesterday, they left the Fifth Circuit ruling in place that stripped the right to organize a mass protest in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, effectively suspending the First Amendment in those states. Where will it stop? 

The truth is that fascists won’t stop stripping our freedoms until we force them to stop. We have to be prepared for anything, so we’re ramping up our organizing work – will you chip in today to fuel our organizing programs and defend our freedoms?

If you are reading this email, you have probably been to a protest. You may have even organized one. If the Fifth Circuit has its way, organizers like us could be held personally liable if even one person commits an illegal act, even unintentionally. 

It’s possible that this decision is not permanent. However, if we have learned anything since Dobbs, it’s that we can’t let our foot off the gas for a second with these compromised courts. They protect only the wealthy who bought their seats, not the people, not democracy, and certainly not the law.
