Congratulations to Will Lawrence on his primary victory in Michigan’s 7th Congressional district, whose platform of housing rights, Medicaid for all, and climate justice just defeated millions in corporate money and the mainstream Democratic opposition 💪❤️🔥

There actually is a “minority” making our lives worse, and that minority is billionaires.
“A friend of mine saw ICE agents surround a car at night with guns in their hands. And this is Biddeford, Maine!” [SURJ member] Culloton said. “We’re all living on edge.”
‘We are not criminals.’ In shaken Biddeford, a mix of grief, horror, and defiance. - The Boston Globe
For this hardscrabble, blue-collar city in Maine built by immigrants, any sense of powerlessness is tough to stomach.

Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.
“I think this tragedy is going to energize people to put pressure on those candidates to adopt a progressive agenda that includes, among other things, the abolition of ICE and getting ICE out of Maine.” -Christine Livia, member of Central Maine SURJ
Maurizio Guerrero@mauriziogro.bsky.social · 3w agoAt least 11 people have been fatally shot by immigration agents in the US: immigrants, visa holders, and US citizens. Calls for accountability for the deaths of migrants are growing. Mexico and Colombia are seeking criminal charges. Total impunity so far. prismreports.org/2026/07/15/i... @surj.org
This primary season, we’ve seen just how popular left-wing policies are. Candidates who will go to bat for the working class, who refuse to support the racist, state-sanctioned violence of ICE and DHS and will protect our immigrant communities, are winning primaries across the country.
Democratic socialists are winning in US cities with message of getting stuff done
Mayors such as New York’s Zohran Mamdani show leftwing ideology can go hand-in-hand with effective governance

I had a wonderful conversation with @mahmoud-khalil.bsky.social yesterday. We spoke about our love of Michigan and his family here. He also shared lessons learned from his unjust detainment. In Congress, I’ll fight for just immigration policy, and against the cruel separation of families.
SURJ rescinds our endorsement of Graham Platner and calls on him to withdraw from the Maine Senate race before next week's deadline. Allegations of sexual violence demand accountability, and survivors must be taken seriously.
We can decide what the next chapter of our country can be. It's never too late to take the first step. Join us to make a better world: https://bit.ly/4p1ZUb9
BREAKING: Today, the Supreme Court upheld two state laws barring trans female athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports teams. We need to show trans women athletes that we stand with them, loudly and without apology.
"No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us."-Marsha P. Johnson No pride in racism. While white, Black, and brown queers, gays, and dolls all come into the fight with unequal levels of oppression, we are united against this fascist and white supremacist administration.
When you’re celebrating pride this month, remember that you’re also fighting fascism, and that the fight didn’t start with us and won’t end with us 🩵 Sources used: The Pink Triangle Legacy, The Game Magazine
Justice for sweet baby Kohen Wiley. The police violence that continues to target Black people must end. There is nothing we can do to undo this horrific violence, but we can do what we can to put ourselves in the way of this death machine.
Leslie Feinberg described herself as an anti-racist white, working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female revolutionary communist, whose work helped bring gender studies to the mainstream. Happy pride! 🌈
Long story short, solidarity with Minnesota, always.
One year ago this June, ICE escalated their terror in LA, and communities rose up and got organized to care for each other. The work continues, and you’re needed.
The Trump regime is going after the movement because they are scared and desperate. We have to stick up for each other because they are coming for all of us next.

BREAKING: Randy Villegas beats out corporate Dem and advances to the general election in California’s Central Valley. The mainstream Dem establishment poured millions of corporate PAC dollars into his opponent’s race and still lost.
