FWD: TAKE ACTION: Tell the Senate: Stop Trump’s anti-abortion, anti-voting rights judicial nominee!

Image
  President Donald Trump is racing to add yet another dangerous and biased judge to the federal courts. Benjamin Flowers has a record of being anti-abortion, anti-trans, and hostile to voting rights and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. He is currently up for a spot on the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals—and will soon receive a vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now is the time to act to stop this dangerous nominee. Tell the Senate: Vote NO on Benjamin Flowers’ Judicial Nomination We deserve unbiased federal judges who will protect the rights of everyday people, no matter their race, gender, or sexual orientation. TAKE ACTION Trump selected Flowers precisely because of his record opposing reproductive freedom, LGBTQIA+ rights, voting rights protections, and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. As Ohio’s Solicitor General, Flowers actively worked to restrict access to abortion care and weaken civil rights protections. If given a lifetime federal judgeship, he wo...

TAKE ACTION: The House is voting to save ACA tax credits The SENATE PETITION IS BELOW!

Image
  This week, the House will vote on saving the enhanced ACA tax credits by extending them for three years–without an abortion ban.  Over 20 million families face the cruel and unsustainable choice of paying the new, astronomical costs for their ACA health care coverage or going without insurance.   Congress had plenty of time to act last year, but it did not. In a last-ditch effort before Republican leaders sent the House home for the holidays, four Republicans joined Democrats to force a vote that would provide critical support so that families can afford health insurance.  Now, your representatives need to hear from you. Tell the House: Save ACA Tax Credits Health care costs are skyrocketing without action from Congress  TAKE ACTION The enhanced tax credits are critical for families to afford the care they need without going broke–or worse.  Tell the House to vote YES this week on a clean bill to extend enhanced ACA tax credits. -Dorianne Mason From: Gret...

Take Action: Hegseth is a danger to our democracy and security.

Image
  Fighting for gender justice in the courts, in public policy, and in our society. Justice for her. Justice for all. Pete Hegseth poses an immediate threat to women, our democracy, and military families—and he needs to go.   Most recently, reporting indicates Hegseth is responsible for the illegal boat strikes that have killed helpless civilians at sea who have not been charged or convicted of any crime. This is murder. Early on, we warned that he was unfit for Secretary of Defense because of his clear misogynistic, racist, and anti-trans beliefs, and because of the credible sexual assault allegations against him. We understood he was a lawless bully motivated by the desire to hurt and humiliate. Since being confirmed, he has proven us right again and again. His abuses while in office demonstrate the need for proper oversight from Congress. Pete Hegseth must be held accountable for his actions.  He must go, and we demand that every Member of Congress call for his rem...
