John,

Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours straight, and as he said, the power is in the people. His effort has broken the record for lengthiest remarks delivered in the Senate.

Oh yeah, and the previous record was set in 1957 by noted segregationist Strom Thurmond, who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes to oppose the Civil Rights Act…

Take a moment to add your name thanking Senator Cory Booker for his strength, determination, and passion in this critical moment.

We are giving Cory Booker his rightful flowers 💐 for his historic filibuster, and we call upon every elected official, community leader, activist, ally, and supporter of collective liberation to shut the damn system down at every step.

This is the type of commitment this moment demands. Lives are literally at stake for the people affected by some of Trump’s most heinous policies.

Protest. Boycott. Do not comply. That’s what we should all be focused on. There’s nothing we can’t do in community. We keep us safe.

Cory’s historic filibuster is a good first step. But we must do so much more.

One senator won’t shake FASCIST empires. The people will. His filibuster showed us that this system can be stopped.

What happens when we ALL deny it together?

What happens when we ALL take disruption beyond the floor of the Senate?

What happens when it’s not just one senator but whole communities?

John, join us to thank Cory Booker for his work. And let us all take this moment as inspiration for what we can do in this fight.

Sometimes, democracy requires disruption,

Black Lives Matter

Our grassroots movement is pushing for Black liberation every single day. We are striving to create a world where Black people do so much more than just survive. It’s time we thrive.

As an organization one of our biggest hurdles is consistency.

A recurring contribution of anything you can afford goes a long way as we plan for the months, years, and even decades ahead. This is the most effective way for small-dollar donors (like you) to power our Black liberation work.

Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement?
