ALERT: We only have a few hours to save hotspot lending programs funded by #ERate. We NEED your voice. Senator Ted Cruz is attempting a last-minute strategy to permanently defund E-Rate hotspot programs at libraries across the country. Call your Senators NOW and tell them to vote NO on S.J.Res 7!

Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history. Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights. Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.
