Virginia became the 38th and final state needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in 2020. It’s been stuck since then.
Please take this action ASAP as we want President Biden to PUBLISH the ERA before he leaves office.
Rev. Sharon Risher‘s mother, two cousins and a childhood friend were among the nine people killed by White supremacist Dylann Roof, who was sentenced to death in 2017. However, after studying the racial disparities in the application of the death penalty, and the lack of evidence that it deters violent crime, she asked President Biden to commute his punishment to a life sentence without parole instead. And she wants this to happen for the 40 others on federal death row too, before sociopathic Felon/President-elect Donald Trump restarts the killing spree he began in his first administration. In his final six months in office, he executed 13 people, more than any president in the past 120 years. She hasn’t heard back from Biden yet and those 40 people are still at risk. Let’s pile on!

Despite its defeat last Tuesday night, H.R. 9495 – which gives the incoming Trump administration unchecked power to shut down ANY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION that stands in the way of his MAGA agenda – will return for a second vote in the U.S. House of Representatives early next week, with a markup starting on Monday, November 18. This will be followed by an expected floor vote on Tuesday or Wednesday, where it will require only a SIMPLE MAJORITY to pass.
Action #1 – Minimal call or email script to your (2) senators:
I’m calling from [zip code]. I want Senator [______] to vote to prioritize confirming Biden’s final pro-democracy judges, and to prevent “Recess Appointments” of Trump’s clown-car nominees for top positions in the his administration. The welfare of all Americans depends on people with both commitment to the constitution and expertise and we’re counting on you to do everything you can to safeguard our democracy.
A flashpoint for election deniers is coming Tuesday morning – agenda item #36 – approval for County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters Michelle Ascension to sign a contract with Dominion Voting Systems, Inc to upgrade our current equipment (both the voting system and mobile ballot printers), and to pay for the annual licensing and warranties.
On August 20th, “…the Republican attorney general of Texas sent armed police officers after Hispanic voters—some in their 80s—to intimidate, threaten, and destroy them financially by forcing them to hire lawyers to defend themselves, even though they are perfectly legal voters.
It’s a manifestation of the new unofficial Republican slogan: “If you can’t win on the issues, cheat. And if cheating doesn’t get you over the top, intimidate!”

(NewYork) Misogyny Is About Power “Donald Trump’s supporters in search of apparel have no shortage of options. On Etsy, for example, they can choose from a variety of T-shirt designs, some with a crude message. “Say No to the Hoe,” a few say, featuring Vice-President Kamala Harris’s face inside a circle with a line drawn through it. “Jo and the Ho Gotta Go,” decrees another, out-of-date option, which True Patriot Supply also offers in multiple colors. The New York Times reported on Wednesday that many Trump supporters had taken to wearing “Joe and the Hoe” shirts at the former president’s rallies. That Trump’s supporters are misogynistic will come as no surprise to anyone on the left; much of Trump’s appeal is based in part on a backlash to progress, including progress for women.
We looked at Etsy’s offerings first. Holy smokes! WTH, Etsy?!
