In our “checks and balances” government, Congress holds the power of the purse—the authority to direct how the government spends money, and thereby what the government does and how. Trump administration programs and schemes can be blocked by denying them funds, and some of their destructive regulation and rule changes can be countered by mandating how funds have to be used.

A war with Iran – yet another endless conflict – will be a disaster for America, a catastrophe for the peoples of the Middle East, and a devastating blow to the world economy. If oil fields and facilities are set afire the global climate crises could be accelerated and intensified. We must do everything possible to prevent right-wing Republicans, Trump, and his cronies from starting such a war in violation of the Constitution and against the wishes and interests of We the People.

Ask your House Representative and Senators to support the Raise the Wage Act. Also, ask them to support the Restoring Justice for Workers Act, which prohibits unfair forced arbitration agreements, bars retaliation against workers for refusing to arbitrate work disputes, and allows employees to collectively organize regarding work disputes.

On May 1, Trump requested billions of dollars in additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including over $1 billion in funding to expand detention (yes, more cages), hire more ICE and CBP agents, and accelerate deportations.

Tell Speaker Pelosi to begin an impeachment inquiry against Trump. Multiple grounds for impeachment already exist, including obstruction of justice, abuse of authority, dereliction of duty, failure to faithfully execute the laws of the United States, directing subordinates to ignore Congressional subpoenas, refusal to obey a lawful court order, and conduct unbecoming.

Please call Speaker Pelosi / Congresswoman Speier TODAY, and insist they NOT authorize inclusion of the Hyde Amendment in the current HHS appropriations bill, because it discriminates against low-income women, by denying them equal access to healthcare!

We must ramp up the pressure on Speaker Pelosi to abandon her Big Pharma handout and support HR 1046 instead!  Please call Pelosi’s office today and insist she rescind support for this back-door deal with the pharma industry and the Trump administration!

Ask Rep. Speier to co-sponsor H.R. 1046, the Medicare Negotiation and Competitive Licensing Act, to lower drug prices for American patients!

In yet its latest act of unprecedented cruelty and greed, the Trump administration wants to legitimize discrimination in healthcare. Submit a public comment to slow down or halt this proposal!

SB 155 and AB 56 would cede local control of Community Choice energy programs to the CPUC. Adding bureaucracy to local control is meant to weaken CCAs ability to compete with PG&E. Call Senator Wiener and Asm. Ting and ask them to vote NO!

Last year the California state legislature passed SB 100, a critically important bill to protect our environment and limit climate change. SB 386 effectively guts SB 100 and has already passed the California Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee.

San Francisco is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis. Ask your Supervisor and the Mayor to fund The Homeless Emergency Service Providers Association (HESPA), a group of 27 organizations advocating for a more robust safety net that can provide housing and emergency services for homeless San Franciscans.

Supervisor Haney has introduced a ballot measure to create a commission to provide oversight of the San Francisco’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH).

HSH is one of the only city departments that does not have an oversight commission in place. Let’s fix that!
