    May 29 - Pro-Climate Direct Action Campaign Orientation, 7:30pm, zoom RSVP

    The utility lobby EEI, run by hardcore Trumper Dan Brouillette, is scheming to sue and stop Biden’s rules in order to let them pollute as much as they want. And it's funded by the money YOU pay in utility bills. This would be a disaster for both the climate AND for your wallet — so it’s time to take action and let them know we won’t stand for it!

    Please have your organization sign on to our letter calling on the Department of Energy to protect the public interest and more rigorously evaluate the harmful impacts of export authorizations? You can review the letter here and the full text of the whitepaper here. Deadline is May 28, 2024 at 5:00pm.

    Call to Ask Your Assemblymember to vote "YES" on the Packaging Reduction Act!

    Email Key Legislators to Pass the Climate, Jobs & Justice Package this June

    The Biden administration is yet again *considering* some kind of climate emergency declaration. Let them hear from you! Here’s the letter and here’s the sign on form. DUE APRIL 30th!

    Pass Ro Khanna’s State-Based Universal Health Care Act (SBUHCA - remember the acronym!)

    Phone and text-bank with National Nurses United, ongoing, zoom RSVP

    It’s been one year since the federal Covid-19 public emergency ended and a massive ‘Medicaid unwinding’ began. During the height of the pandemic, states were barred by Congress from disenrolling Medicaid recipients from their rolls, but that came to an end last year. As a result, more than 20 million people lost their Medicaid coverage in the last year. About 1 in 5 people with Medicaid have been disenrolled, and nearly 1 out of 4 adults who were disenrolled are still uninsured today. Add your name to build pressure for Medicare for All!

    Ro Khanna’s State-Based Universal Health Care Act would eliminate the “ERISA Problem” along with a number of other federal regulatory hurdles states might face in passing single payer systems. We should be pushing our New York delegation to sign on. Rep. Jamaal Bowman already has!

    May 19 - “The Election After Gaza”, featuring Mehdi Hasan, Peter Beinart, and Masha Gessen, 4:00pm, Brooklyn RSVP

    If student protesters for peace had (hypocritically) attacked and beaten people at UCLA, and their images were available on videos all over the internet, it's a safe bet that some of them would have been arrested or questioned about it. Instead, genocide supporters attacked UCLA student peace activists, had celebrities raise them money, and the police not only stood by and watched but have since then done nothing. Please demand answers by clicking here to email UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, UC Police Chief John Thomas, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and District Attorney of Los Angeles County George Gascón?

    They have tried to wear us down, to make us become hopeless and discouraged. Call Congress: HANDS OFF RAFAH!

    Demand Congress boycott an address from Netanyahu

    Tell Your Senators: Don’t attack and criminalize students protesting for Palestinian rights

    The invasion of Rafah has already begun. This is a genocide funded by our taxpayer dollars, authorized by our President and Congress. President Biden claimed to draw a red line if Netanyahu invaded Rafah, but has yet to do anything to stop this. Tell Biden: broker a ceasefire NOW.

    Project 2025back to top

    We have to make sure Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase can’t get away with hiding their funding of the Heritage Foundation and their support for Trump’s Project 2025. Demand Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase pledge no future funding of the Heritage Foundation and publicly denounce Trump’s Project 2025 now.

    MAGA’s plan to install Christian Nationalism as the law of the land, dubbed Project 2025, is the terrifying end game we are fighting desperately to prevent in this election. Politico’s Alexander Ward and Heidi Przybyla wrote a great piece documenting how Trump plans to “infuse Christian nationalist ideas in his administration” if he’s elected president again. Here’s how you can help.

    Tell Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase to reject Project 2025 and cut ties with the Heritage Foundation now. The moral integrity of their brands and the trust of their customers depend on it.

    1. Check out StopTheCoup
    2. Sign up to defend democracy from Trump with Project 2024: Majority Over MAGA.
    3. Call your senator and demand they protect IVF access nationwide.
    4. If your representative is a Democrat, demand they oppose all extreme MAGA policy riders.
    5. If you have a Democratic senator (or two!), demand they oppose all extreme MAGA policy riders.
    6. Write an LTE about the MAGA plan to privatize Medicare using our easy tool.
