Jesse Jackson was an essential leader in the movement and coalition-building for social and economic justice. He laid the path for many of the elected officials who followed.

From The Pulpit To The Streets: Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Enduring Legacy Of Hope, Power, And Justice | Essence

Jackson spent more than six decades turning faith into action, leaving behind a legacy that reshaped American politics and kept hope alive.

For millions of Muslims around the world, the holy month of Ramadan is the most sacred and joyous time of the year — a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, compassion, and gratitude. Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing joy, peace, and justice to all who celebrate.

Rodney Taylor has been held in a for-profit ICE detention facility for over a year. His health continues to deteriorate as ICE has denied him medical care and reasonable accommodations. I’m leading 20 of my colleagues to demand ICE review Rodney's request for release.

Text over a green background reads, "NEW: Jayapal leads 20 members of Congress to demand Trump administration review Rodney Taylor's request for release from ICE detention."

Republicans are willing to shut down the government because they don’t want any accountability for ICE and CBP. Without reforms, we cannot give another cent to these rogue agencies that have murdered people in our streets.

Trump’s ICE just deported a 2-month-old baby. He promised to go after the “worst of the worst.” He lied. He’s deporting literal BABIES.

Headline from Common Dreams: "‘Monstrous’: ICE Deports 2-Month-Old Juan Nicolás Hours After Hospitalization" Below is a picture of Juan Nicolás and smaller text from the article that reads, "US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported 2-month-old Juan Nicolás to Mexico—along with his 16-month-old sister, mother, and father—following the infant’s hospitalization for respiratory issues and vomiting, which he suffered after spending more than three weeks in a Texas detention center run by the notorious private prison firm CoreCivic."

It was great to speak with residents at University House and members of the West Seattle Rotary Club! My constituents are so thoughtful and ready to stand up for our democracy. It takes all of us, and I’m so grateful to represent such an engaged district!

ICE announced they’re going to spend more than $38 billion to detain thousands of more people. With that amount of money, we could end homelessness, extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies, or provide school lunches to every kid in America. This is totally unacceptable.

Three lies and a truth from the Secretary of Commerce. Resign now.

Here’s why it matters that the Department of Justice is spying on Members of Congress.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate! As we enter the Year of the Horse, I wish everyone a year full of good health, joy, and peace.

I’m grateful for his lifetime of service, and for his family who shared him so generously with the world. Sending love and support to them and all those who revered him. (3/3)

As a young organizer, I looked to him and his work building diverse coalitions as my inspiration for the way to build power for poor, working class and marginalized people. His legacy remains strong — and now we honor him by continuing this critical work. (2/3)

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a voice of morality and justice — a giant who inspired me and so many others to fight for justice and never give up. (1/3)

ICYMI: I asked AG Bondi if she would apologize to the Epstein survivors for the harm her DOJ has done to them. She refused — she wouldn’t even look at them. I will never stop demanding accountability and justice for these incredibly brave survivors.

A picture of Rep. Jayapal speaking with a Common Dreams headline and article text overlayed. The headline reads, "Pam Bondi Refuses to Apologize to Epstein Survivors Standing Right Behind Her During House Hearing." Additional text reads, "'Your Department of Justice initially released this list of 32 survivors’ names, with only one name redacted,” said Jayapal, who then slammed the DOJ for releasing files that not only included victims’ names but also their email and residential addresses, and even nude photographs of them."

Trump’s reckless tariffs are raising costs for families across the country — forcing people to pay a whopping $1,300 more on average for everything from tomatoes to t-shirts. These tariffs add up and they mean a paycheck doesn’t go as far as it should.

This image shows a bold, red upward arrow on a dark background with faint dollar signs. The text reads: "$1,300 The average tax increase per U.S. household because of Trump's tariffs." In the lower left corner, it says "Source: Tax Foundation."

Let me be clear — ICE has no place in our community. I’m glad to work with leaders like King County Executive Girmay Zahilay who are taking steps to ban these lawless federal agents from terrorizing our neighbors.

Zahilay bans ICE from certain spaces in King County

The county executive, in his first executive order, issued a suite of actions aimed at supporting immigrant and refugee communities.

My Trans Bill of Rights protects the freedom for all trans people to live as their full, authentic selves. It’s time to get this passed!

Syria needs at least $200 billion to help aid their reconstruction, and 90% of the population is living in poverty. If the U.S. reimposes sanctions on Syria, it would be devastating to the people trying to rebuild their lives.

So many of the rich and powerful abusers in the Epstein files thought they were above the law and that they would never be caught. We will continue standing up and fighting until there is full accountability and justice.

Pam Bondi is orchestrating a massive cover-up of the Epstein Files.

Three stacked images from the House Judiciary Committee's hearing with Pam Bondi. Each image includes quotes in text overlay. The top image shows Pam Bondi speaking, with text: "I'm not going to get in the gutter with this woman." The middle image features Rep. Jayapal with text: "I wish that you would turn around to the survivors who are standing right behind you, and on a human level, apologize to them for what you have done." The bottom panel shows Epstein survivors standing behind Pam Bondi, with overlay text: "**Refuses to apologize**".
