@yasmin_cader out here doing BIG THANGS!. I have stood on the other side of the rope on the red carpet at the Chinese Theatre hundreds of times, but tonight so proud to cross over and be her +1.

Yas is a part of the new @ava DuVernay documentary #14th and it’s #Fantastic !!! Ava has delivered another masterpiece, which is a follow up to her Oscar nominated doc 13th

The 14th Amendment promises equal protection under the law, due process, and citizenship to everyone born here. It is the foundation of so much of the civil rights progress this country has made, and it’s under attack today. For Yasmin, this isn’t history or theory. She has spent her career fighting for justice, and holding this country to the promises written into the constitution. Her life’s work is rarely glamorous and often taken for granted but so damn important.

There is no way in hell, she had walking on the red carpet because she is in a film, at hollywoods most iconic movie venue, on her bingo card when she went to law school.

An amazing night!

The Supreme Court’s new term is underway, and the cases on its docket will reach into the daily lives of Latino families across this country.

I had the honor of joining @allianceforjustice and AFJ Action for their fifth annual Holding Court: Supreme Court Term Preview. We talked candidly about what is at stake this term, who will feel these decisions first, and what all of us can do about it.

@_rossi_rachel, thank you for your leadership and for bringing us together. To the entire AFJ team, thank you for creating a space where advocates, lawyers, and community leaders can prepare for what is ahead. And to my fellow panelists, @steve_vladeck, @janainelson, and @yasmin_cader thank you for your insight, your honesty, and your commitment to this work. I learned from each of you.

The courts can feel far away from our neighborhoods. They are not. The right to vote, to be treated equally, and to belong in this country are all shaped by who sits on the bench and how they rule. That is why @lulac has spent nearly a century in courtrooms defending our community, and why we will keep showing up.

Our communities are paying attention. We are organized. And we are not going anywhere.

As part of Orientation Week for the Class of 2029, ACLU Deputy Executive Director for Program, Strategy, and Culture Yasmin Cader joined Dean Roger A. Fairfax, Jr. for a fireside chat. From clerking for Judge Damon J. Keith to helping lead one of the nation’s most influential civil rights organizations, Cader reflected on her upbringing, her experience as a Bison, and the journey and lessons that shaped her career as a leader advancing civil rights and public interest advocacy. #Husl #orientation

Thank you @kcranews and @cec_ontv for sharing Cylia’s story.

What’s happening isn’t fair, not just to my daughter, but to the hundreds of students whose futures were turned upside down. My heart breaks for every family navigating this.

As a Black mother, I’m exhausted by the constant fight for opportunities our children have already earned through years of hard work. We tell them to do everything right, and they do. They sacrifice, achieve, and dream big, only to have the finish line moved. With the recent death of Cylia’s grandma and aunt (my mom and sister) within 7 months and a huge move from LA, it’s been a lot!

I expected more from an HBCU, an institution founded on understanding the very struggles so many of these families face.

We’re not giving up. We’re speaking up, not only for Cylia, but for every student who deserves better. #howarduniversity

It’s Bigger than Basketball 🏀

Our guys Cam Gillus, Ose Okojie, and Calvin Robins recently partnered with the ACLU to lead an inspiring panel for local high school students. Alongside Yasmin Cader, Deputy Legal Director at the ACLU, the team shared powerful insights on leadership, civic engagement, and using their platform to drive real change.

Inspiring the next generation both on and off the hardwood as only the DreamFactory Factory can do.

We’re proud to announce that Yasmin Cader will serve as the ACLU’s new Deputy Executive Director for Program, Strategy, and Culture.

Yasmin most recently served as Deputy Legal Director, where she led our work on racial justice and criminal legal reform. In this new role, she will help guide the ACLU’s work to protect and advance civil rights and civil liberties at this critical moment.

Yasmin is perfectly equipped for the fight ahead, as our Executive Director Anthony Romero notes: "Yasmin is a creative visionary who will keep the ACLU laser focused on its work to safeguard civil rights and civil liberties. I am thrilled to welcome her into this new role.” A photo of Yasmin Cader standing in a navy pantsuit with a red top. A brown textbox with yellow text reads: “Our new Deputy Executive Director Yasmin Cader, through the years.”

“It should be that the law leads us into liberation, not that we have to fight and use the law as a weapon to get there.” ~ @janainelson on the Refounding of Our Country

Photos and videoclip from “Revolutionary: Our Declaration of Belonging” — an insightful conversation addressing our nation’s founding, whose stories get told, and equality under the law. Held last month @amrevmuseum.
