Your weekly to-dos

By | |
  1. Phonebank for Indivisible endorsed candidates Brad Lander (NY-10) and Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13) this Tuesday and/or Wednesday (5:30pm ET/2:30pm PT). Lander and Chevalier are up against entrenched and establishment Dems and are running bold campaigns to upend the status quo. Their primaries are in just over a week on June 23, so your calls can make a big difference, especially for voters heading to the polls to vote early this week. Paid for by Indivisible Action. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
  2. Call your US senators and demand they oppose the Trump regime’s warrantless mass surveillance. FISA — the War-on-Terror era legislation that authorized mass surveillance and is now under threat of being supercharged by AI — expired on June 12. Now, our Members of Congress have a choice to make: Uphold the Constitution and protect freedom of speech, or greenlight more of Trump’s authoritarian power grabs.
  3. Then, call your US representative and demand the same. Two years ago, legislation to reauthorize FISA breezed through Congress with bipartisan support. That can’t happen again. To increase your impact, follow up with an email to your Members of Congress.
  4. Tell your senators to oppose the confirmation of Trump lackey Jay Clayton for DNI. Last week, we flooded Congress with calls and emails opposing Trump’s dangerous, unqualified pick to serve as acting Director of National Intelligence. The pressure worked, and he named a less obviously terrible permanent nominee — but a terrible nominee nonetheless. So we need to keep up the pressure until he puts forward a qualified intelligence professional instead of another loyalist hack. Please email your senators today. 
  5. Join us tomorrow, June 16, for our next Solidarity in Action Speaker Series virtual event, Leading with Inclusion: Courageous Solidarity Across LGBTQ+ Communities (7pm ET/4pm PT). Joined by featured speakers Katie Blair and Jamie Henkel from PFLAG national, we’ll celebrate the history, resilience, and leadership of LGBTQ+ people, learn practical strategies for accountable allyship, identify concrete steps we can take to build more affirming and effective movement spaces, and more.
