The U.S food and farm system is at serious risk unless Congress moves to provide targeted pandemic relief.

Last week, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) released their draft of a new USAID Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Policy.

A new Netflix six-part documentary series offers a unique and nuanced view of the ongoing struggles in America’s broken immigration system—so nuanced, in fact, that the Trump administration pressured the filmmakers of “Immigration Nation” to remove particularly horrific scenes and even to delay its release until after the November elections.
Join a live conversation with the filmmakers of “Immigration Nation” on August 19 at 9:00 a.m. PT/noon ET.
Kamala Harris has become only the second Democratic woman to become a vice presidential nominee, and the first woman of color to be nominated. Conventional wisdom tends to argue that a nominee’s vice presidential pick doesn’t do much to budge the outcome of the presidential election either way. But this year it might be different.
Leaders and organizations around the country are responding to threats of voter suppression. And you can too—by attending the virtual, interactive summit, “Protecting America’s Vote: Our March to the Ballot Box” August 6-8.
