Foster kids to carry burdens for "religious freedom."

This week, the US Supreme Court once again ruled in favor of forcing Americans to fund religious organizations — and handed those organizations another special license to discriminate.

Under Fulton V. Philadelphia, the Court ruled that the city could not refuse a contract to a Catholic adoption agency — even after it violated anti-discrimination law by turning away prospective LGBTQ+ parents.

How did this happen, and how bad exactly is the impact? Read our legal team's analysis.

Juneteenth.

This weekend we observed a Federal holiday commemorating Juneteenth: the 1865 announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, TX.

We recognize the historic symbolism of the proclamation and hope everyone enjoyed a joyous and peaceful celebration. We must also feel an obligation to amplify concerns by Black leaders warning against the performative commodification of this day. For perspective, we thought you might find this editorial by anti-racism expert Leslie Mac enlightening.
