On May 16, we’ll focus on:
Senator Feinstein, Please Support S.546 – the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund
“Never Forget the Heroes: Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act.” It didn’t pass last year and now the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) is running out of money before its 2020 expiration date, cutting payments between 50-70% at the same time cancer rates among first responders are going up. Brownley, Carbajal, and Harris are all on board; Feinstein is the odd man out! More info here.
Impeachment? – Let’s ask Reps Brownley and Carbajal to support H.Res. 257
Resolution H.Res. 257 instructs the Judiciary Committee to begin investigating whether or not Trump should be impeached. This is a good first step that everyone should be able to unify over. More info here.
Medicare for All support from Senator Feinstein and Reps Brownley and Carbajal – the Medicare for All bill has dropped in the Senate! Senator Harris has signed on as a co-sponsor, and we will urge Ms. Feinstein and Brownley to do the same. More info here
No Gun Shows at the Ventura County Fairgrounds support from Governor Newsom – Gavin Newsom, in his campaign for governor, told the fair board he is against gun shows on state property. Let’s hold him to his word. More info here
Thank Governor Newsom for banning the brain damaging pesticide Chlorpyrifos
This decision hands a major victory to both environmentalists and people who are alive and want to continue to be so. The decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration to ban the pesticide is also a significant rebuke to President Donald Trump. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Trump has been defending the chemical against court challenges after the Obama administration took steps to prohibit its use. More info here
