Color Of Change, Rep. Ayanna Pressley Slam ‘The Great Republican Ripoff'
Source: Color of Change / Color of Change As the party formerly claiming to care about fiscal responsibility prepares to unleash an unprecedented money grab at the expense of millions of Americans, a group of lawmakers isn't letting the proposed Republican budget pass without a fight. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) co-sponsored a Lobby Day with the advocacy group Color of Change, encouraging people to take action against what she calls 'the great Republican rip-off.' Speaking during a press conference late Tuesday afternoon, Pressley highlighted the impact of proposed cuts to vital programs like SNAP and Medicaid while also calling out Republican cruelty. 'Donald Trump is stealing from the poor, the elderly, the vulnerable, and everyday working families to line his own d*mn pockets,' she said. 'They mean to harm our Black and brown communities, who stand to be the most impacted by these devastating cuts.' Pressley encouraged people to consider the impact of proposed budget cuts on all of our communities, including the most vulnerable among us, a sentiment echoed by many of her colleagues. While the effects and response will vary per state, the damage to Black communities is almost inevitable. Rep. Shontell Brown (D-OH) called the bill 'the most deliberately destructive piece of legislation' in decades. 'There's not a lot of nuance or complication here,' Brown said. 'Trump and MAGA extremists in Congress are taking money from our constituents and giving it to their friends and donors.' Brown expressed concern that Ohio's Republican-controlled government will end Medicaid expansion in the Buckeye state if proposed federal cuts go through. Accordingly, Brown shared that her state government has already said it will end Medicaid expansion if the cuts are pushed through. She estimated the impact would be the equivalent of an entire congressional district in her state alone. 'This is suffering on a massive scale, and it's going to hurt people of all backgrounds, but it's going to be especially destructive in Black and brown communities,' Brown said. 'Approximately 38 percent of the people I represent are on Medicaid. Twenty-one percent are on SNAP. Donald Trump has raised prices. He's defunded their neighborhoods. He's attacked their relatives who work for the federal government.' Medicaid is one of several programs that have split funding from state governments and the federal budget, but cutting federal dollars jeopardizes these programs. For its part, Medicaid supports about 83 million people, including children and older adults. An estimated 35 percent of Black people receive Medicaid. Overall, Black people account for one in five people enrolled in Medicaid. Despite decades of claiming to be the party of so-called fiscal responsibility, Republicans are gearing up to add trillions to the national debt and other costly scenarios. To what end, you may ask? So that Trump and his billionaire friends can get even richer, while making it even harder for Black and other impacted communities to catch up, let alone thrive. Joining her colleagues on Tuesday, Rep. Summer Lee called out the hypocrisy of Republicans claiming they are putting 'America first' and Trump's so-called 'beautiful bill' that is certain to devastate millions. 'In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, we have people experiencing hunger and homelessness who rely on assistance, and rather than provide these folks with fair wages and affordable housing, Republicans are cutting the very benefits and social services in favor of these oligarchs,' Lee said. 'They're cutting people out of jobs, cutting their access to higher education. The reality is, these oligarchs who bought their way into the Oval Office have already taken so much from working families.' Lee also called for a renewed need to get money and corporate interests out of politics. 'This is now about who has power and who they are willing to hurt to keep it,' she continued. 'And it's working families and the disenfranchised, Black and brown communities that get hit the hardest every time.' Portia Allen-Kyle, interim executive director of Color of Change, made it clear that the proposed cuts are part of a broader neo-segregationist agenda. 'We're here to remind people that our families are not just a line item,' Allen-Kyle said during Tuesday's press conference. 'We are not just a line on a bill. Our families are the nurses, … the teachers … the students, and parents who are the backbones of our community. … it's time to cut the greed, not the people.' Over the past four months, the team at Color of Change has driven over 10,000 member actions, including calls, emails, and petition signatures to Members of Congress. Color of Change has spent the past two years working on a comprehensive campaign to inform members about the impact of tax policy and the federal budget on Black communities. 'The power we are building is to protect the needs of Black communities, while the current administration sacrifices our children and grandparents to help billionaires become trillionaires,' Allen-Kyles said in a statement shared with NewsOne 'We will remind those in power that our families are more than a line item and remind them that they need to cut the greed, not the people.'

‘Cop City' legal case could cast spotlight on US police foundations' activities
A legal case in Atlanta stemming from the controversial 'Cop City' project is being closely watched because it has the potential to cast a spotlight on the activities of police foundations nationwide. The case raises the issue of state open records laws, and whether they apply to police foundations. The private foundations exist in every major US city, with more than 250 nationwide, according to a 2021 report by research and activist groups Little Sis and Color of Change. The foundations have been used to pay for surveillance technologies in cities like Baltimore and Los Angeles without the contracts being subject to public scrutiny, according to the report. In the Atlanta case, a judge is considering 12 hours of testimony, related case law and evidence in a lawsuit that concerns whether records such as board meeting minutes from the Atlanta Police Foundation (APF) are subject to the state's open records law. If they are, they must be released to plaintiffs – a local digital non-profit news outlet and a Chicago-based research organization. Although it is a private entity, the police foundation is the driving force behind the controversial police training center colloquially known as 'Cop City' and which has attracted global headlines after police shot dead Manuel Paez Terán, or 'Tortuguita', an environmental activist protesting the project. At the same time, the prosecution of anti-'Cop City' activists – especially using Rico laws usually reserved for organized crime – has prompted accusations that the state is using police and the courts to crush dissent and free speech. The open records complaint, filed last year on behalf of non-profit news outlet Atlanta Community Press Collective (ACPC) and digital transparency research organization Lucy Parsons Labs, details how numerous records queries to the foundation under Georgia's Open Records Act were ignored. After a two-day bench trial last week, Fulton county superior court judge Jane Barwick must now decide whether to order the foundation to release those records, including a 'line-item construction budget' and contracts. It was probably the first such lawsuit nationwide, University of Chicago sociology professor Robert Vargas told the Guardian last year – and is being followed closely by researchers and activists alike. One of the hallmarks of police foundations is how difficult it is to get information out of them,' said Gin Armstrong, executive director at LittleSis and the Public Accountability Initiative. 'From a research point of view, this case could open up possibilities … in understanding where money is coming from for policing.' 'A ruling here that the Atlanta police foundation is subject to meaningful public oversight [by releasing the records] would send a very important signal,' said Jonathan Manes, senior counsel at the MacArthur Justice Center. One reason, he said, was the high profile of the $109m training center project. Built on a 171-acre (70-hectare) footprint in a forest south-east of Atlanta, opposition to the center has come from a wide range of local and national organizations and protesters and is centered on concerns such as unchecked police militarization and clearing forests in an era of climate crisis. Atlanta police, and the foundation, say the center is needed for 'world-class' training and to attract new officers. The movement against the center dates to 2021 and has included the destruction of construction equipment and the arson of Atlanta police motorcycles and a car. It has also included efforts to mount a referendum on the training center that gathered signatures from more than 100,000 voters – and continues to languish in court – as well as historic levels of public participation in city council meetings, lawsuits, numerous protests, and support from national environmental and civil rights groups. Despite the years of protests and worldwide media coverage – and although the APF built the center, with corporate and taxpayer funds – the foundation and its CEO, former Secret Service leader Dave Wilkinson, have largely escaped public notice. Most attention has centered on Atlanta's police department, which will be using the center, and local and state governments. Because of this, the lawsuit, and last week's bench trial – meaning the judge decides, not a jury – draw attention to the APF. The APF is one of the nation's largest and most well-funded police foundations, with support from companies like Delta, Wells Fargo and Home Depot. Wilkinson is also the highest-paid among police foundation CEOs nationwide, with a 2022 salary of $500,000. In his hours of testimony last week, Wilkinson revealed his take on ACPC, which began reporting on the training center in late 2021, filling a vacuum left in local media exemplified by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution failing to disclose in much of its news and opinion coverage of the project that Alex Taylor, CEO of the paper's owner, Cox Enterprises, had led a multimillion-dollar fundraising drive for the foundation. Wilkinson testified that he thought ACPC would be 'giving information to … anarchists' – referring to protestors who committed acts of property destruction or vandalism – and that, in withholding information, he was 'trying to protect people from harm'. He and others – including Alan Williams, project manager for the training center – offered hours of detailed descriptions of protests, including cellphone videos and news clips showing protestors throwing rocks, lighting fireworks and screaming such chants as 'Fuck you Alan!' Matt Scott, executive director of ACPC, said: 'They were doing the best they could to make ACPC look like an organization intent on causing harm – but they brought no evidence against ACPC.' Manes found the APF's stance 'deeply chilling – the idea that the press is responsible for how people use or react to information'. In her closing argument, Joy Ramsingh – one of three attorneys who represented plaintiffs pro bono, along with Samantha C Hamilton and Luke Andrews – said that Wilkinson 'clearly believes that if … he feels [open records requestors] are bad people, then they should be denied Open Records Act requests. But [the law] is not governed by our feelings.' The police foundation and its lawyer, former Georgia supreme court chief justice Harold Melton, also argued that the foundation was no different from other private entities that work with government, whether corporations such as Chick-fil-A or other non-profit organizations – and so, like these entities, it should not be subject to open records laws. Melton declined to comment on the case. The APF did not respond to a query from the Guardian. Ramsingh countered this notion rhetorically in court: 'Is there any Chick-fil-A that calls itself Atlanta police Chick-fil-A and only serves chicken nuggets to APD?' Ed Vogel, a researcher at Lucy Parsons Labs, said: 'If APD didn't exist, APF wouldn't exist – it gives the ability to wealthy people and corporations to organize and mobilize funds in a way that supports their interests, without any public oversight.' Ramsingh said she hopes the case 'helps shine a light on what police foundations do, and illuminates their reach'. In Atlanta, that includes not just raising money for the training center, but building and managing it. 'Most people have no idea there's this whole other entity making decisions on public safety.'

With DEI Rollbacks, the Business of Hollywood May Take a Hit
Today, America is more diverse than it's ever been, with people of color representing 43% of the total U.S. population as of 2021 — a 34% jump from 2010. The same goes for women, the disabled and LGTBQ+ communities, with rapid growth among historically marginalized groups. Yet despite that growth and an audience demand for more inclusive stories, Hollywood studios have scaled back their inclusion efforts to mollify President Donald Trump and his supporters at the possible cost of alienating a large and growing group of consumers. 'It's a horrible business decision and certainly not the right thing to do,' Darnell Hunt, UCLA's executive vice chancellor and provost, told TheWrap. 'It's very unfortunate, and of course it is a reflection of what the current administration is trying to do, rolling back decades of progress we made on the inclusion and diversity front for Hollywood in particular,' Hunt, who co-founded the university's annual Hollywood Diversity Report, continued. 'The majority of babies born in America today are babies of color, and the population is moving towards minority majority status in a couple decades. So not to have diversity in an industry that's producing stories that need to appeal to diverse audiences is a devastating mistake.' 'What's happening in Hollywood isn't necessarily too different from what's happening in other sectors,' Portia Allen-Kyle, interim executive director of the activist group Color of Change, told TheWrap in an interview. 'We see corporations who are primarily motivated by profit and power capitulating and seeking to fall in line with an administration that has made very clear and transparent that they are not on board with diversity, equity and inclusion,' she added. Changes to Hollywood's DEI initiatives have been real and immediate. Since Trump's inauguration, major conglomerates including Disney, Amazon, Paramount Global and Warner Bros. have cut out or adjusted their diversity, equity and inclusion programs, a decision experts and advocates say will ultimately leave a hole in their bottom line. But as TheWrap has reported for nearly two years, DEI programs were already being rolled back, even before the election of Trump. The communities being marginalized by these rollbacks are Hollywood's bread and butter. Not only are minority groups quickly becoming the majority, they also consume more media. Black audiences, despite making up only 14.4% of the country's population, take the lead, spending an average of 3.55 hours per day watching TV, according to a 2024 Nielsen report. The Hispanic/Latino community, the second-largest racial or ethnic group in the U.S. at 19.1%, accounts for 24% of box office ticket sales and 24% of streaming subscribers. In addition, U.S. Latinos see films an average of 3.3 times a year, per capita, compared to Asian Americans (2.9) and white Americans (2.3). However, they only make up less than 5% of the leading on-screen, off-screen and executive leadership roles in U.S. media. In 2021, McKinsey and Company released a report that showed Hollywood loses out on nearly $10 billion a year when it undervalues TV and film projects by Black creators. In 2023, the same year hit films 'Barbie,' 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes' and 'Creed III' premiered, UCLA released a study showing that films with casts that were 31% to 40% people of color earned the highest median global box office receipts, while films featuring casts with 11% people of color performed the poorest. That year, female moviegoers bought the majority of opening weekend domestic tickets for three of the top films. 'One of the things our report has shown is that audiences want to see diverse content, that as shows look to American society and become more diverse, they make more money, they get higher ratings on TV and more box office on film,' Hunt said. 'So these rollbacks by the studios and getting rid of shows that obviously reach out to broader audiences are going to hurt their bottom line in the long run.' Hollywood's recent retreat on DEI is one America has seen before. Between the small boost in diverse narratives and representation following the #OscarsSoWhite outcry in 2015 and racial reckoning that took place after the murder of George Floyd, Hollywood has long teetered along the lines of standing firm on its promise for equality in show business. Other activists TheWrap spoke to said while Hollywood's DEI rollbacks are disappointing, it comes as no surprise given that the promises to improve in those areas were already lackluster by their estimates. 'We've been dealing with a lack of representation and a lot of tokenization for a long time, and I think that a lot of DEI efforts in Hollywood were kind of hollow anyway — at least with disability and where it's concerned,' Dom Evans, co-founder of FilmDis, a media organization that consults on disability in media, told TheWrap. Similarly, LGBTQ+ and plus-sized characters combined only make up a total of 10% of roles in the highest-grossing U.S. films, per a 2024 study from the Geena Davis Institute. Kyle Bowser, the senior vice president of the NAACP's Hollywood bureau, said Hollywood is merely playing the same record it's had on repeat for years, adding that the NAACP is mostly concerned with how Hollywood will profit off Black culture. 'What we're most concerned about is the extent to which our culture will continue to be exploited and often even appropriated without the remuneration aid back to our community for that contribution,' Bowser said. 'Our culture is often on the screen even when we're not, and that's been going on for decades.' Evans added that one of the issues the disabled community faces as it relates to accurate and fair representation on screen is inauthentic and/or performative DEI practices. He recalled a time when a major studio ignored his constructive notes on a film as it pertained to its depiction of disabled people. 'I found out that I was one of five [consultants]. They had five different disabled people tell them, 'Don't make this project. It's horrible. You need to rewrite it. You need more consultants that are specifically from these disabled communities.' All of us were ignored, all five of us,' Evans shared. 'I don't think they were looking for consultants, I think they were looking for yes men, yes women or yes people. They wanted the disabled person who would be most palatable to them, and we weren't, because we want better.' Color of Change's Allen-Kyle highlighted how Hollywood's DEI reversal mirrors the changes being made in other industries, specifically as it relates to what appears to be a shared belief system that opposes a need for equity and inclusion. 'Unfortunately what we're seeing is a number of companies and their willingness to be complicit in this moment that is kind of a characterizing of the response to this very blatant anti-civil rights, anti-progress, anti-inclusion agenda — what we've been calling the neo-segregationist agenda of this current administration.' The origins of DEI trace back to the Civil Rights movement and came about as a way to provide marginalized communities with the same opportunities that have been historically afforded to white people. From in-house diversity training, to diverse hiring initiatives, to pipeline programs that help fill the gaps left behind by segregation, racism and sexism in the workplace, DEI has been around for decades. And ironically, white women have been its primary beneficiary. 'When white women really understand their progress is tied to the expansion and the requirements for folks to look outside of the white, old boys network that they've benefited from … it actually benefits everybody when inclusion is policy,' Allen-Kyle said. Even with the implementation of DEI, disenfranchised communities have continued to face inequality in Hollywood. While some gains have been made, Black filmmakers still receive 40% less financial support compared to films by non-Black filmmakers, only 1.5 out of 10 theatrical film directors are women and white writers still make up the largest share of TV employment (63%). The issue now is how to respond. While Hunt questioned the likelihood of a protest in Hollywood, Evans suggested one way for creatives to resist is by being more sharp-witted when making business deals. 'I think that we're going to have to be much more savvy and find ways to make our own stuff together,' Evans said. What about a boycott? For Hunt, the possibility of a movement similar to the ongoing boycotts against Fortune 500 companies really depends on how clearly audiences correlate the content they view with companies behind them and the policies they have in place. 'I think audiences maybe don't make the connection between what they're watching, their favorite show and their favorite star that they identify with,' Hunt explained. 'Unless, of course, those favorite on screen personalities that they can relate to actually come out front and take a stand and encourage them to boycott – that rarely happens. Not to say that it wouldn't happen in this case. It's hard to predict the future.' Tess Patton contributed to this report.

Protesters rally against Department of Education layoffs
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. Department of Education on Friday morning to protest mass firings and what some are calling an effort to dismantle the federal education system. The Trump administration wants to shift federal education funding to the states, arguing the move would improve teaching and learning but critics say the plan threatens key programs and resources for students. Portia Allen-Kyle, an advocate with Color of Change, said the firings impact civil servants who have dedicated their careers to expanding educational access and opportunities. 'Civil servants have taken it and made it their life's work and mission to expand that access and opportunity,' Allen-Kyle said. Keri Rodrigues, President of the National Parents Union, worries about how the changes could affect students, particularly those in low-income communities. 'What is going to happen to after-school programs? What is going to happen to breakfast after the bell?' Rodrigues asked. 'Hungry kids can't learn, there is going to be classroom disruption.' Hawaii Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono, also spoke out against the administration's plan. 'When we don't have an educated population, I think everybody can figure out that's not going to be good for our economy and our communities,' Hirono said. Republican lawmakers, however, support the plan saying it will provide states with greater control over education policy. 'It will be better for the local educator, the local principal, the local county board,' said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito ( Moore Capito reassured parents that federal funding would remain available for low-income families and students with disabilities. 'Federal support will be there in terms of dollars, just that the bureaucracy will not be present here in Washington,' she said. The Department of Education said it is committed to supporting underserved communities despite the restructuring efforts. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
