10 years ago, a horrific act of racism and hatred took the lives of nine innocent worshippers at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston. We must condemn and stamp out racism & hate in all its forms. May we remember these nine souls and work towards a more peaceful, just world free of bigotry & hate.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.
