- Tell your senators to rein in ICE right now. Congress has to pass an appropriations bill by January 30 to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded, which means Dems have a lot of leverage to include provisions that rein in ICE and freeze its budget. Call your senators now and demand they use the appropriations bill to protect our communities from ICE. (More info here)
- Then, tell all your Members of Congress: No votes for an appropriations bill that doesn’t rein in ICE. After you’ve called your senators, please use our email tool to demand your senators and representative withhold their votes from any DHS budget that hands ICE more funding or fails to end border patrol deployments in our cities.
- Build even more pressure on Congress with our ICE Out for Good phonebank. Keep the ICE Out for Good momentum rolling by joining us tomorrow, Weds, Jan 21 at 1pm ET / 10am PT, to call voters in key states and encourage them to call their senators about reining in ICE.
- Keep an eye on your inboxes for news about Minnesota solidarity actions this Friday. Minnesota activists are holding a day of action this Friday, and are asking allies across the country to hold solidarity actions to keep the focus on ICE’s brutality in the state and advance the call to get ICE out of our cities now. We’ll be in touch soon with ways you can get involved in your area.
- Join an important call on the upcoming Supreme Court decision that threatens to gut what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. Any day now, the Supreme Court could issue a ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that could invalidate minority-majority districts and greenlight far more aggressively racist gerrymanders across the South. We’re partnering on a call tomorrow, Weds, Jan 21 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT, that will provide more info on the stakes of the case and how we can respond to a bad decision.
- Email your senators and demand they act to restore ACA subsidies NOW. Two weeks ago, seventeen House Republicans understood that skyrocketing insurance costs threaten their political futures and voted with Democrats to pass a bill restoring healthcare subsidies. Now we need the Senate to get on board, too.
P.S. With the regime’s attacks on our communities and rights coming at an ever escalating pace, it’s never been more important to support grassroots organizations that are keeping up the fight for our democracy. If you can, we encourage you to support your local mutual aid networks, or chip in to power your friendly pro-democracy organizers at Indivisible.
