Today's executive order on federal elections is a recipe for chaos, disenfranchisement, and constitutional crisis, wrapped in disingenuous narratives about access to the ballot.
The decision by the United States Department of Justice to seek dismissal of charges in the case of the violent killing of Breonna Taylor is a gross miscarriage of justice. This Department of Justice has made crystal clear that it will not protect the basic civil and constitutional right for a Black woman to be safe from police violence in her own home.
Today, with the confirmation of MarkWayne Mullin as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, we are reminded that the fight for civil and human rights is not a chapter in our history. It is the battle of this moment. And this moment demands both clarity and action.
Rev. Jackson fundamentally redefined our national politics. His historic 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns were revolutionary, registering millions of new voters and building an unprecedented Rainbow Coalition that brought together diverse communities—across race, class, and gender—to advocate for shared human rights priorities.
We condemn in the strongest terms any threats to usurp elections.
We're fighting for justice. For police accountability. For immigrant rights. For economic security. For fair courts. For voting rights. We're fighting relentlessly to fulfill the promise of our democracy.
