U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk.

Understanding How Trump Is Building His Mass Deportation Machine—So We Can Halt It. Such an apparatus has a potentially fatal flaw: In order to function effectively, millions and millions of people must be willing to go along with it.

‘We Have Very Few Options but To Join Together To Organize for a General Strike’. Association of Flight Attendants President Sara Nelson made her comments following the Dept. of Homeland Security announcement that it is stripping Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) workers of their collective bargaining rights.

Legacy institutions appear to be working with key Democrats to gut the last $20 billion in IRS funding for auditing rich tax cheats - in exchange for a short-term increase in non-defense spending. Send a message to your members of Congress to vote against any deal that gives more power to DOGE and less money to the IRS.

Sign to save the post office from Donald Trump

A 40-day Target boycott kicked off on March 5th in protest of the company rolling back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. MORE

America must not surrender its democratic values. Bernie Sanders.

TELL NY LAWMAKERS: WAKE UP, FIGHT TRUMP

Third Act Letter to the Editor campaign: The Legacy Project. The message? “I’m X years old, and I’ve never seen an attack on our democracy like this.” Young people don’t always recognize how abnormal this moment is. We need to name it and our experience gives us credibility.

America has no UN ambassador because GOP needs votes to kill Medicaid. Call your U.S. senator and tell them to reject Stefanik.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was established in 2010 by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Given that the CFPB was established by an actual law–something which the DOGE cannot boast–it can only be undone by a new law. Please send a letter to your three members of Congress: Protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Voting machine update

Did the voter guide that you got mention the ExPressVote XL? Call your Board of Elections and ask about the machines. If not yet purchased and if they hear from enough people, tell them NO EXPRESSVOTE. Better, and less expensive, options are the Clear Ballot ClearCast and ClearCast Go or the Hart InterCivic eScan, which both use hand marked paper ballots. There’s no hand marked paper ballot with the touch screen ExPressVote XL.

Please use this simple tool to call your members of Congress today about the proposed Medicaid cuts.

Ask Medicare to extend its coverage for home telehealth visits beyond April 1, 2025, to provide care for rural people.

Medicare spends an estimated 22 percent more for Medicare “Advantage” enrollees than it would spend if those beneficiaries were enrolled in traditional Medicare, a difference that translates into a projected $83 billion in 2024 into insurance company pockets.

Tell your members of Congress: NO cuts to Medicaid at all, and certainly none to pay for extending the Trump tax cuts.

Comparison of Administrative Warrant vs. JUDICIAL Warrant. A Judicial Warrant signed by a judge is required for ICE to take action.

In anticipation of ICE raids and repression, the ACLU and NYCLU websites have some resources to help answer questions and quell anxiety with at least the illusion of some control.
