Heartbreaking that Minneapolis legal observer Renee Good died at the hands of ICE. It's clear that there was no threat when they shot her and the claims Trump is making on social media are total bullshit. Renee could have been any of us.

 Many folks on our team have creative practices and it’s such a gift that Fight has such a supportive environment that many staff interweave those endeavors in with our day to day work. It makes our output—from campaigns to design to social media content—stronger and more personal. In 2023, our very own Hally Leigh Comics created a “Resist Surveillance Squirrel” design with the team, and since then we’ve added 4 more critter designs to the series. (In addition to creative-types, we also happen to identify with ungovernable animals.) These designs are available together in a sticker pack for the first time, including the newest design “Turn Off Ring Raccoons.” The sticker pack is free with your $25 donation and comes with 5 high-quality stickers to make your laptop, phone case, or water bottle a bit spicier. Plus, you’ll be contributing to the very worthy work Fight does to hold Big Tech and politicians accountable and support the communities who need it most.

It’s Day 2 of our week of action against online ID checks + we need you to make some noise and call your reps letting them know censorship bills like KOSA + Online ID Checks are EXTREMELY unpopular! Call Now +1 248-331-8665 or use our call tool: www.badinternetbills.com
Lawmakers are “taking a hard look” at VPNs after the total flop of the UK “age verification” rollout + we all know where that’s gonna lead—censorship fanatics are gonna try to bring the ban hammer down on VPNs. Millions use VPNs to dodge surveillance + circumvent censorship. Can you help us remind them what a terrible idea it is to destroy essential Internet safety infrastructure?
