Your weekly to-dos

By | |
  1. Prepare for the next national day of action on the “Communities Not Cages” training call (Tues 8pm ET/5pm PT). The Trump regime is purchasing and converting warehouses all over the nation to serve as concentration-camps for those disappeared by ICE and Border Patrol — but local communities are already fighting back. Detention Watch Network is leading the planning for a National Day of Action on April 25; on tomorrow’s training call, we’ll learn tactics and strategies for hosting actions in defense of immigrants in our local communities.
  2. Tell your Members of Congress: Say NO to reauthorizing a highly controversial law that lets the government spy on US citizens by sidestepping the Constitution. Section 702 of the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is set to expire on April 19 — but in the past, it’s been routinely reauthorized with bipartisan votes. Let your Members of Congress know that they have a choice: Will they greenlight warrantless mass surveillance of American citizens super-charged by AI? Or uphold the Constitution and demand actual guardrails to reject authoritarian access to our private data?
  3. Plan your participation in a day of economic disruption on May Day: No work. No school. No shopping. We’re flexing our economic power on May 1, sending a message to Trump and his oligarch enablers: We refuse to do business as usual as you trample our rights, terrorize our communities, and conduct your war. Led by May Day Strong, this will be a day of mass refusal to engage with the American economic engine, featuring rallies, marches, and non-violent disruptions across the country (find an event near you here). Not everyone will be able to refuse work, school, or spending entirely, but it’s vital that each of us does whatever we can do to show the regime that we don’t just have numbers — we have economic leverage.
  4. Tell Congress to stop dragging its feet on the Iran War! This weekend, Trump once again failed to achieve a (real) ceasefire in the bloody war that he and Israel launched on Iran. Democrats have repeatedly tried to bring an end to the carnage by forcing a War Powers Resolution and Republicans continue to stand in their way. There are more votes this week to end the war. Tell your Members of Congress, no matter their party: Americans never wanted this war and Congress must do all it can to bring it to an end — and if they don’t, we’ll hold them accountable for the blood on their hands.
  5. Join Indivisible’s phone banks for Jasmine Clark in GA-13 (tonight, 7pm ET/4pm PT). Join us as we make calls to voters in GA-13 to let them know why Indivisible is supporting Jasmine Clark for that district in Georgia’s upcoming Democratic primary (May 19). Help us send a real fighter for families and defender of democracy to Congress! (Paid for by Indivisible Action. Not authorized by any candidate or committee).
  6. ON WEDNESDAY: Join “What’s the Plan?” with Leah + Ezra at 3pm ET/noon PT Our weekly interactive Q&A with co-founders and executive directors Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin will be on Wednesday this week.
