4 dozen House Democrats helped pass MAGA’s xenophobic Laken Riley Act. WTH, Democrats, what you doing?!?
Thank the ones who did the right thing! Spank the ones who didn’t!
(rollingstone) “On Tuesday, four dozen House Democrats joined Republicans in passing a viciously right-wing immigration bill — legislation that, just last year, was seen as a conservative messaging bill. Six Democratic lawmakers flipped their positions, voting for the legislation after rejecting it last year. There’s a strong likelihood that the immigration bill will pass in the Senate, too, after most of the Democratic caucus voted to begin debate on the legislation.”

Captain Heelspurs’ legislators are playing toxic messaging games with the health care of the children of military service members.

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.

Please add your voice to that of Rev. Sharon Risher!:
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!
Action: Urge President Biden to eliminate the death penalty for those under his watch.

Contact the Biden Administration and urge Mayorkas and Biden to finalize and publish the H-1B modernization rule to move DACA recipients to a more secure status and to expedite the processing of existing applications.
Action #1: Urge DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to finalize the H-1B modernization rule.
EMAIL: (Here’s our take. We aren’t immigration experts, so we’re emphasizing that he finish the work he started. Use personal stories if you can.)
Sec. Mayorkas, I’m writing to urge you to finalize the H-1B modernization rule. Your actions as USCIS director during the Obama administration to implement the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process in just 60 days, protected our friends and neighbors, and there’s no amount of thanks we can give you for that.

H.R.9495 is a Pandora’s box of destruction for any organization that crosses Trump and his MAGA agenda!
UPDATE: This bill passed the House! WTH?! Call your senators! Script below!
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.
What can we do?

The chaos and corruption starts now. But legislators still want to be re-elected, and that’s where our power is.
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.
Indivisible Ventura’s Voting Guide for the 2024 Presidential Election
OK, this is either a really dull notice about updating election equipment, or a call to battle by election deniers.
If you’re looking for something to do to help our elections and democracy, you do not have to go far, or take a lot of time. Come and assure skittish supervisors that it’s the first option. Seriously!
