Critically Important Work Continues:
Here’s How We Make Change Happen This Week
This past week we were laser-focused on the huge voting rights relay from WV to DC, and the big rally going on at the Capital today, along with a wave of outreach to our members of Congress to hold strong on the progressive elements of the Build Back Better reconciliation bill — from child care, to negotiating drug prices to green energy jobs and an end to carbon-based fuel supplements and much, much more.
We stand with the January 6th commission’s recommendation and the floor vote that confirmed it’s time for Bannon and the other Trumpists to recognize that ignoring subpoenas comes at a legal price.
Now, we have another busy week before us, so please join us in any way you can via the actions below. Together, we will make the world a more progressive place for all, one step at a time.
- Help save lives and make the country healthier.

Ro Khanna (schedule permitting) and hyper-active grassroots advocates from across the country who are working locally to fight COVID and make the world a healthier place in general. If you haven’t already done so, RSVP here. - Become a local Congressional Office Liaison. Work with others in your area to promote progressive legislation and end the filibuster in the Senate.

Sign to end the filibuster. Contact your Senators and tell them to expand Medicare coverage and negotiate drug prices, put an end to fossil fuel subsidies, and follow Bernie’s lead in general in the upcoming massive Build Back Better reconciliation bill. Also, tell them to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and to find a way around the filibuster if need be.

Then please let us know if you act.
- Can’t volunteer? Then please contribute what you are able to afford and make it monthly if you can. There’s much to do, and we need the resources to make it all happen.
