Civil rights pioneer Rev. Jesse Jackson has passed away at age 84. Jackson rose from being an aide to Martin Luther King Jr. to being one of the most celebrated civil rights leaders in the U.S., including strong support for marriage equality.

Ackerman's idea is laid out in his 1991 book We The People: Foundations, and is discussed in the second of his Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures of 2006. It's gained prominence since the 2024 election and the wholesale assault on our governmental system by Trump.

Vice President JD Vance delivered an address at the March for Life in Washington D.C. today, attacking abortion rights and LGBTQ+ equality as existential threats to the nation. Blocks away, a white supremacist group showed their support. Meanwhile, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has rescinded LGBTQ-inclusive guidance about what workplace harassment looks like, and a Maryland judge has ruled that Trump's DOJ can't have trans youth hospital records.

To combat these abuses, EFF is proud to support the "ICE Out of My Face Act." This new federal bill would ban ICE and CBP agents, and some local police working with them, from acquiring or using biometric surveillance systems, including face recognition technology, or information derived from such systems by another entity. This bill would be enforceable, among other ways, by a strong private right of action.
