Weekly To-Do's

Call your Senators!,  Call your Representatives!,  Email your members of Congress!

1. Tell your Members of Congress: Stop the ICE terror machine. Congress is scrambling to pass a DHS funding bill by Friday, and we need to make it loud and clear that our senators and representatives must oppose any bill that hands ICE and Border Patrol more funding or fails to include strict safeguards to protect our communities. Use the link above to email your Members of Congress, then be sure to call your senators during business hours.

2. Join this week’s virtual training to learn practical, actionable lessons on organizing against authoritarianism from Minnesota’s resistance against ICE and CBP. Organizers in Minnesota have transformed crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. On Thursday, Feb 12 at 7pm ET, those organizers and MN leaders including Rep. Ilhan Omar will share what they’ve learned so we can all be better prepared to organize amidst crises and protect our neighbors from ICE and Border Patrol deployments.

3. Call your representative and tell them to oppose new voter suppression legislation modeled on the infamous SAVE Act. Last Congress, we helped defeat the SAVE Act, one of the worst voter suppression bills in a half century. Now, a series of bills with the same impact (ending registration by mail, adding new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering) could get a vote in the House this week. Make sure your rep hears from you before the vote. (More info here.)
