Resistanceback to top

Send a letter to Congress demanding they put children before corporate profits and prioritize expanding the Child Tax Credit to reduce child poverty.

In his very first speech upon winning the Speakership, Mike Johnson (R-LA) called for the ‘immediate’ creation of a fast-tracked commission that could take Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid behind closed doors and cut them. Without a special, secret commission, these politicians would have to make their policies known, and voters could make informed choices about who they want representing them in Washington. Send a message to Congress: We know that a vote for a ‘fiscal commission’ is a vote to cut Social Security and Medicare!

Tell Speaker of the House Mike Johnson: Admit Trump lost the 2020 election!

SCOTUS is already facing a legitimacy crisis.
