Black Independent Political Action Committee

Every single day since he took office in January, it seems like Donald Trump has found new ways to abuse his power and make life harder for our families. He’s illegally withheld funding that New Jerseyans rely on for child care, for health care, and for access to healthy food. He’s deployed the National Guard to American cities in a transparent attempt to instill terror and fear. He signed a devastating spending bill that guts Medicaid access and makes everything from groceries to heating your home less affordable — all to give billionaires a giant tax cut. And honestly, that’s just a fraction of it. As Trump has inflicted all this damage on our country, Republican politicians like Jack Ciattarelli have cheered him on every step of the way. There is seemingly nothing Trump can do — no matter how illegal, reckless, or outright devastating for New Jersey families — that would make Jack Ciattarelli say “enough is enough.” And ,  polls show that Ciattarelli is within a few percentage p...

      Black Independents, I wanted you to hear it from me first:  I’m running to continue serving as Governor of Minnesota. Here in Minnesota, we’ve cut child poverty, expanded labor rights, invested in education, made sure every student gets free breakfast and lunch at school, and so much more.  We’re putting people first — and giving folks the freedom to live their own lives the way they want to live them. But team , everything we’re building is under attack. Donald Trump and his fellow extremists are dismantling basic services like Social Security and Medicare, leaving working families behind, and threatening our freedoms.  That’s why I’m running — because we’ve got a lot more work to do, and I’m sure as hell not going to let MAGA extremists flip this state red. Will you stand with me and split a donation between my campaign and Adam Schiff to show that we are fired up and ready to win? Republicans want to gut your benefits and hand out tax breaks to bil...

  Hey, I know my team and I have been emailing you a lot recently asking for your support. But I wanted to take a second to explain why your support matters in this crucial race. Not only is my opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, endorsed by Donald Trump – he’s also a faithful advocate for the most disastrous elements of Trump’s agenda, and wants to implement them here in New Jersey. He was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Republican price hike bill that will throw hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans off their health care. And now, Ciattarelli’s being supported by a MAGA super PAC that’s pouring  millions of dollars  into negative ads that make one false assertion after another about my record and my character. In a race this close and with the stakes this high, we need to have the resources to be able to fight back, and we can only do that with your support. Can you split $10 (or whatever you can) between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project so we can stop our ...

  Robert,    If you’ve ever left a conference wondering what now? — you’re not alone. That’s why I believe so deeply in the Clinton Global Initiative.   At CGI, the conversations don’t end when the meeting does. They lead to real partnerships, real commitments, and lasting results. It's a space where people from all walks of life come together to share and take action.   If you’re ready to move from intention to impact, I hope you’ll be part of CGI 2025. I’ve seen the power of CGI up close — not just in the headlines, but in the way it brings people together to deliver real solutions. Whether it’s expanding access to health care, advancing gender equity, or mobilizing resources in response to crisis, CGI helps turn shared purpose into measurable progress.   That kind of work doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people show up, bring their full selves, and commit to doing the hard work together.   This September, we’ll come together again in N...

    Black Independents -- When the UN Fourth World Conference on Women met in Beijing in 1995, I wanted to go. If my husband hadn't been president, I would have wanted to go as myself—a lawyer, an advocate. But I knew that if I went as the First Lady of the United States it would carry a message that would resound around the world: The United States is putting its leadership toward advancing the rights of women. When I was working on the speech, which took many weeks, I was really focused on how to break through. I wanted to push the envelope in the speech to state a simple truth: women and girls inherently have the same rights as men and boys. After I got back from the conference, I did a lot of media. I remember a man from Iran calling in to the Voice of America and asking me: "When you say women's rights are human rights, what can you possibly mean?" He was genuinely confused. I said, "I want you to close your eyes and think about all the rights you have. And ...
