Demand that Governor Newsom to order the release of immigrant detainees
COVID-19 is a threat to prison populations, including ICE detainees, due to the poor conditions at prisons and detention centers. Governor Newsom has the discretion to order the detainees to be released back to their communities where they can safely shelter in place. Urge Governor Newsom to make this order.
Demand that our MoCs enact rules allowing them to continue governing while dispersed and sheltering in place.
Our MoC’s cannot safely convene in Congress, but the business of legislation is more urgent than ever. Urge your MoC’s to enact remote voting to ensure the continuity of government.

Last Chance to Save SNAP - Tell your Representatives to use the Congressional Review Act
Last week, the Trump administration finalized a USDA rule change that will kick nearly 700,000 people off of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps.

Congress can use the Congressional Review Act to stop this rule change - tell them to use this power!
Tell your MoC's - NO WAR WITH IRAN!
Last night, under Trump’s orders, a civilian airport in Iraq was bombed, killing a top military official from Iran. This may be seen as an overt act of war, and pushes us closer than ever to war with Iran and further conflicts in the Middle East. We can’t afford more unjust, unauthorized, unending war. Tell your MoC’s to do everything in their power to stop the escalation of this conflict.
Tell your MoCs to oppose NAFTA 2.0!
It's time for Democrats to stand up for Main Street and stop selling their souls to Wall Street. No NAFTA 2.0!
Thank your MoC's for supporting the ongoing impeachment investigation, and tell them to be thorough and strategic.
If the House votes on articles of impeachment, the trial in the Senate will be under the control of Republicans who will do everything they can to prevent Trump from being convicted. If Trump is acquitted, he will be an even greater danger to democracy. Therefore, the House should not send articles of impeachment to the Senate until there is some likelihood of winning a conviction.
