For good reasons, the spotlights of media have been shining brightly on the fate of our electoral democracy; undoubtedly this intense focus…
The pandemic has helped raise awareness of the essential roles that millions of low-wage workers play
With midterm elections coming up, voting rights groups and other organizations must significantly scale up voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts. And unions must play a central role in this mobilization
To ensure human rights at home, not only in other countries, legislation is needed to open a path to full citizenship, not just provide a temporary fix
More than at any time in the recent past, Congress and the Biden administration have the means to open a path to citizenship to millions of undocumented residents
And a Reminder of Our Hollowed-Out Democracy
If a path to citizenship can indeed be opened for the first time in 35 years, it will not mark the end of these debates, nor the end of the struggle over national identity
Citizenship, and the voting rights that go with it, are ultimately issues of agency, power, and voice
The administration is helping to reinforce an extensive system of institutions, policies, attitudes, and values that cast migrants as criminals

Z is a place to think beyond the limits of the present.
For decades, Z has brought together political analysis, movement reporting, debate, and visions of a different future from writers and activists around the world. That work is more than journalism. It is movement infrastructure: movements need places to develop ideas, test arguments, learn from experience, and imagine what comes next.
In the first two days of this fundraiser, 19 donors and 8 new monthly sustainers stepped up. Help us reach 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone.
For decades, Z has published the analysis, debate, and visions movements need, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. If that work should continue, Z needs your support now.
