Courtney and Mary visiting the Tampa Federal Building to drop off letters urging Senator Scott and Senator Moody to co-sponsor S. 4814 to extend Haitian TPS #TPS #ExtendTPS
On August 12, 1952, a firing squad in Moscow’s infamous Lubyanka prison executed 13 renowned Jewish figures including 5 prominent Yiddish writers after years of confining and torturing them to extract false confessions of treason and espionage. #Yiddish #YiddishCulture #YiddishHistory #JewishHistory

On the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, organizer Heather Booth reminds us that democracy is something we build together. "When we organize with love at the center, we can win." #VotingRightsAct #DemandDemocracy #HeatherBooth
"What I learned in the Civil Rights Movement" 📺 Watch legendary Jewish organizer and activist Heather Booth share her story of organizing for the right to vote in Mississippi in 1964. Today, on the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, our fight continues. 🧵
Blanche went on Fox and said partying with Epstein "isn't a crime." Trump's name appears in those files over 1,800 times. Only 1 in 10 Americans trust this DOJ to tell the truth. #BlockBlanche
Yesterday afternoon on August 3, our National Democracy Circles Organizer Shoshana Maniscalco went to the Senate offices to urge senators to co-sponsor a bill (S. 4814) that would extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. #TPS #WorkersCircle #Haiti
The Workers Circle may not be 3000 years old, but our story is epic in its own right. #TheOdyssey #Odyssey #WorkersCircle
Cornyn and Tillis just advanced Blanche’s nomination after accepting one-sided documents, unsigned by Trump, that appear to keep tax audit protections for the president and his businesses. The full Senate shouldn't reward this with confirmation. Vote no on Todd Blanche.
Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination will advance to full US Senate vote
Blanche, one of Trump’s most trusted legal aides, had confirmed in writing that $1.8bn slush fund for president’s allies

BREAKING: The Justice Department. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee just moved Trump lackey Todd Blanche's nomination to a full Senate vote. If confirmed Blanche will be corrupt, toadying, & focused on the defense of Trump. The Senate must reject Blanche for AG.
The Senate Judiciary Committee just advanced Todd Blanche’s nomination for AG. Now it moves to the Senate floor, where every senator will have to put on the record who they believe the AG answers to: the public or the president. Read our statement: https://civilrights.org/2026/08/04/todd-blanche/

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov
Todd Blanche has refused to release the Epstein files while continuing to shield abusers and pedophiles. Oversight Dems are united in calling on the Senate to REJECT his nomination for Attorney General.
Trump sued the IRS. Blanche's DOJ was supposed to defend the government. Instead, Blanche cut a deal: a $1.8 billion fund with no judge involved, with a sweetheart tax deal for Trump. #BlockBlanche
Kick off the week by making or updating your will in honor of Make-A-Will Month. As a 125+ year-old organization, we understand the vital importance of building a better world today and for generations to come. #WorkersCircle #FreeWill #PlannedGiving #MakeAWillMonth #Legacy
Meet the kids who will soon have no one to speak for them. A baby in federal custody. A teenager reunited with sponsors in Memphis. Hundreds more across Tennessee who relied on Mid-South Immigration Advocates for legal help. #CallYourRep #Tennessee #ChildRights #Advocacy
Since 2003, protecting unaccompanied children and funding legal services for them has had bipartisan support. But after July 31, these kids — some too young to speak — face the real possibility of going into immigration court alone. Tell Congress to protect kids ➡️ tinyurl.com/protect-kids
Professor Miriam Hoffman devoted her career to proving that Yiddish was not a relic, but a living, breathing act of resistance to forgetting and a commitment to reviving the legacy of Ashkenazic Jewry. #Yiddish #YiddishLanguage #YiddishCulture #MiriamHoffman
I like to limit sharing trump rants but this could have legal implications. A judge in VA asked for DoJ and Todd Blanche to rescind the slush fund in writing, noting Trump’s continued support of it. This has more of that. 1/
Katie Phang on Trump’s tax immunity deal: Why not agree to narrow language limiting immunity to conduct before the settlement? Because Trump wants to keep criming. And his refusal to relent tells me there’s smoke, fire, kerosene, wildfires. There’s something there Trump doesn’t want exposure for.
A vote for Todd Blanche is a vote against Epstein survivors. Full stop.
We Demand Truth and Accountability #ICEOUT #ICEOutVigils #FreedomVigils #WorkersCircle
The Workers Circle helped host a multi-faith vigil to honor Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Johan Sebastian Guerrero and all those who have lost their lives to ICE — and to demand accountability. #WorkersCircle #ICEOutVigils
A very powerful message from an Epstein survivor for us to consider as we approach Todd Blanche's confirmation vote.
