This legislation would have banned trans youth from sports. This is why we never give up. — PolitiTweet.org

Over 99% of police killings don’t result in a conviction. We talked to Paige Fernandez about the historic Derek Chauvin verdict on our podcast. https://t.co/3HbTkDc7Qq — PolitiTweet.org

Washington, DC’s 712,000 residents deserve full representation and participation in our national government. Send your message to Congress urging statehood support today. https://t.co/5MOS5kIQna — PolitiTweet.org

It is now up to the Senate to pass this critical legislation to prevent future discrimination against any community that might be unjustly targeted. https://t.co/MDegC6FwSI — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This is a critical move toward immigration policies that are guided by fairness, constitutional rights, and human dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Muslim Ban was a prime example of racism that tore families apart, targeted Black and Brown immigrants, and trampled on our most fundamental constitutional rights. The NO BAN Act would prevent discriminatory bans like this from happening again. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

NEW: The House passed the NO BAN Act. This is a much deserved victory for Muslims, Africans, African Muslims, and all other immigrants of color. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We need to radically change policing in Minnesota and across the country, increase accountability and transparency, and create policies that combat racism in policing. https://t.co/pz0oWcK0R9 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Alternatives to police — like training civilians as first responders — will save Black lives. https://t.co/87hvd98Pq8 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Ma'Khia Bryant was 16 years old and had her entire life ahead of her. For the second time in less than a week, we are collectively mourning a child killed by the police. We'll say it again — a system that kills children with impunity cannot be reformed. https://t.co/HcVdgFDpVe — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Rest in peace, George. https://t.co/TA5UlIdMNu — PolitiTweet.org

Know your rights. https://t.co/uDz5WjQnnv — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

If you believe your rights have been violated, write down everything you remember. Write down the officers' badge and patrol car numbers, and the agency they work for. Get contact information for witnesses and take photographs of any injuries. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

If a protest is shut down through a dispersal order, you must have received clear and detailed notice of the order — including how much time you have to disperse, consequences of failing to disperse, and a clear exit route — BEFORE you can be arrested or charged with any crime. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Police may not confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant, nor may they delete data under any circumstances. Visual records are fully protected, but some states have tried to regulate the audio portion of videos under wiretapping laws. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

You never have to consent to a search of yourself or your belongings. Say that you don't consent to the search. If you do explicitly consent, it can affect you later in court. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

If you get arrested, demand your right to a local phone call. If you call a lawyer, the police are not allowed to listen. If you call anyone else, they are likely to listen. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

If you get arrested, DON'T say anything. Ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign anything. Don't agree to anything without a lawyer present. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

If you are attending a protest and get stopped by police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The right to protest is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

We know that accountability isn't justice. Justice would be George Floyd being home with his family, his loved ones, and his community today. https://t.co/nfHuRiKw7h — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

A bill banning trans students from participating in school sports is being heard right now in Texas. Lawmakers should listen to trans youth like Eli and vote no. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This is only the start to eliminating racist, anti-Black police violence. But we need community-based, civilian-led solutions to save lives — starting now. https://t.co/XBeH4IZMkC — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We need the Biden administration to publicly encourage cities nationwide to embrace alternative approaches to armed police officers and begin helping cities transition away from using police as the first and only responders. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Armed police are not needed in these situations, and in fact increase violence and danger. Instead of using force, arrests, and preventable death, we can ensure that trained civilian professionals are our first responders. — PolitiTweet.org
