    H.R. 9495, the bill that would give Donald Trump’s administration sweeping power to shut down any nonprofit organization he doesn’t like by accusing them of supporting terrorists without any due process or evidence? After passing the House with the support of 15 establishment Democrats, it’s now moving to the Senate for a vote. Stop this dangerous bill in its tracks. Send a letter to tell the Senate to block H.R. 9495!

    Jan 13 - Single Payer Committee meeting - a low-key unwinding after the holidays and a discussion of what we each can do to help #PassNYHealth in 2025, 8:00pm, zoom ZOOM

    The ERA will update the US Constitution to enshrine equal rights under the law regardless of sex, protecting the people against discriminatory federal and state laws. It will be a vital tool to combat discrimination, prevent the rollback of equal rights, and pave the way for legislative progress. The amendment is ready to be added to the Constitution and is awaiting publication. Tell President Biden to instruct the US Archivist to certify and publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment.

    Urge President Biden to do everything he can to publish the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution to ensure his legacy includes enshrining gender equality. Call (202) 456-1111, text (302) 404-0880 and email the White House and demand that the ERA becomes reality. EVERY DAY. And ask your friends and community to do the same.

    Open Letter demanding that NYU leadership immediately drop charges against faculty arrested by the NYPD, withdraw sanctions against those they have designated PNG, and stop persecuting students, faculty and staff who raise their voices against the historic crimes now ongoing in Palestine

    Abuse of Palestinians by Israeli Soldiers in the center of Hebron

    Urge Your Council Member to Call on Speaker Adams to Introduce a Ceasefire Resolution in NYC

    As Israel’s genocide continues to decimate Gaza, and its war of aggression in Lebanon continues unabated, it is encouraging to see elected officials stand against continued support of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This week, 19 Senators – nearly 40% of Senate Democrats – voted to support the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval blocking weapons to Israel. While it is important to hold members of Congress accountable when they make the wrong decision, it is equally as important to thank them when they make the right one.

    Resources for Peace - use them NOW!

    Tell the Senate: Don’t attack the student movement for Palestinian rights.

    Get the BoyCat app - help end Israel’s genocide in Gaza and dismantle its decades-old regime of settler-colonial apartheid

    Take Action: Tell the Senate to stop $20B Israel arms deal THIS WEEK!

    Email your senators today to tell them to oppose sending $20 billion in arms to the Israeli military.

    Tell your Senators today to pass the JRDs and rein in U.S. support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

    With no enforceable high court code of conduct, and the Court unwilling to police themselves, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamie Raskin have introduced the High Court Gift Ban Act, which will prohibit justices from receiving gifts worth over $50 each, or over $100 total, per year.
