It’s Time Stand Up Against Unjust Laws!✊🏾🙏🏾💪🏾

In a world where inequality and injustice persist, it's time to take a stand! 💪🏾Let's unite our voices and refuse to comply with laws that discriminate, oppress, or silence us. History has shown that change comes from the courage to resist.

Why Non-Cooperation Matters… When we stand together and refuse to comply, it sends a powerful message that we won’t be silenced, because silence is complicity!!!

✊🏾Solidarity: Together, we can amplify our voices and support one another in the fight for justice.

🙏🏾Change: Non-cooperation has been a catalyst for change throughout history—let’s continue that legacy!

What You Can Do:
1. Educate Yourself: Understand the laws and policies that are unjust.
2. Raise Awareness: Share your story and experiences. Let others know they are not alone.
3. Let’s Join Together: Connect with local groups like Cope Inland Empire advocating and organizing for change. Our strength lies in our unity!✊🏾💪🏾

Let’s challenge the status quo and pave the way for a more just society! Share your thoughts below and tag someone who inspires you to stand up! 🫶🏾💯🙏🏾

CALL YOUR SENATOR!
Our Healthcare is on the line!

The Senate is moving quickly on a funding bill that leaves out the ACA premium tax credit extension — and that means higher premiums for millions of families.

Here in the Inland Empire, where affordable healthcare is already out of reach for too many the hardest hit will be Black women, moms, and caregivers already working hard to make ends meet.

We can change this — but only if we raise our voices.

Call your senator now: (202) 224-3121

Tell them:
Protect our care.
Protect our people.
Extend the ACA premium tax credits.
