Your weekly to-dos

By | |
  1. Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s War! Since Trump launched his war on Iran, as of this writing, thirteen US servicemembers, more than 1,400 Iranians, and hundreds of civilians across the region have been killed. Tell your Members of Congress to use every lever they have to end it: conduct oversight; force more votes on War Powers Resolutions; restrict funding; and oppose the war publicly.
  2. Call your senators and tell them to press Trump’s nominee for DHS secretary, MAGA loyalist Markwayne Mullin, for real answers during his confirmation hearings. Kristi Noem is out at DHS, but Trump’s nominee to replace her is at least as dedicated to sending ICE and Border Patrol to terrorize our cities. Markwayne Mullin’s Senate confirmation hearings begin on Wednesday. Tell your senators to hold Mullin’s feet to the fire and when his confirmation vote comes around, to vote NO.
  3. Tell Congress: Our right to vote is non-negotiable! The Senate votes this week on the “SAVE America” Act, a bill that could disenfranchise millions of Americans through burdensome voting requirements that would disproportionately impact married people who’ve changed their names, trans Americans, students, and voters of color. Tell your senators to vote NO!
  4. Email Your Members of Congress: Americans reject ICE’s plan to warehouse people. DHS is buying up warehouses to retrofit into concentration camps — but several grassroots campaigns to halt such sales have been successful! Members of Congress must do all they can to block the warehousing of human beings.
  5. Sign the open letter from alumni across the country calling on college presidents to keep their campuses free from ICE terror. Students, faculty, and staff at our institutions of higher education deserve safe environments in which to learn, teach, and work, without any threat of ICE violence.
  6. Calling all Courage Collectives members (and potential future members): Join our infosession on leveraging No Kings to advance noncooperation work! (Wed, 7pm ET/ 4pm PT). Autocrats need the support of society’s most influential sectors – business, academia, civil service, etc — to succeed. But when courageous people within those sectors join forces and refuse to cooperate, the “pillars” that prop the regime up start cracking. Join the call to learn more!
