My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
If and when Trump’s rescission package reaches Congress, you must vote NO and use all your powers to stop it. DOGE’s USAID cuts, and potentila PBS and NPR cuts, cannot be made legal.
Background
The White House was going to ask for a rescission package which would make the DOGE cuts to USAID legal and was also asking for cuts to NPR and PBS.
The original request was supposed to be made on Monday, April 28. However, over the weekend, the White House said they may be delaying the request for the Rescission Package.
The purpose of the rescission package is to eliminate funding that Congress has already approved. It would make Trump’s dismantling of USAID legal, and would invalidate lawsuits against the staff layoffs at USAID.
Simple majorities in both Houses are needed for the bill to pass, so if and when it arrives to Congress, it will be hard to stop. But our Members of Congress must still vote NO and use their procedural power to stop this bill.
This Week's US Congressional Call Scripts:
The Office of Management and Budget is now proposing a wide-ranging rule that would subject all federal grant-making to political loyalty criteria, superseding any scientific advice. Call or write your elected representatives to raise their awareness of your concerns.
Tell your representatives to reject the violence happening at Delaney Hall (NJ) and detention centers around the country, including here in California (Adelanto).
Demand your Congressmember hold hearings on the unlawful reorganization of the US Forest Service.
Tell your representatives that they must refuse to cooperate in any way with the MAGA regime. And then come join us or one of the other organizations in the resistance movement!
Tell your representatives: DO NOT RE-AUTHORIZE FISA702 WITHOUT AMENDMENTS
MAGA Republicans hope to pass the first step of an updated ‘Reconciliation 2.0 Bill’ on the Senate floor this week. Their stated goal is to have it ready for Trump's signature by June 1. So we need to move fast to build opposition and resistance to one-party rule.
The section 702 of FISA (foreign intelligence surveillance act) was passed in 2008 as a counterterrorism measure, but it has a long history abuse because it. Tell Congress to reject reauthorization until it gets reformed!
Over the course of several days, Trump has made repeated, unequivocal threats to commit war crimes. Tell Congress to do its job and hold the executive branch to account!
Our Senators are standing with us.
Congress must hold the Trump/MAGA regime in check, and that includes defending broadcasters’ right to report the news and commentators’ opinions freely and our right to be well informed
