#VotingRights #VotingRightsAdvancementAct #TakeAction Protect Our Freedom to Vote: Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

actionnetwork.orgProtect Our Freedom to Vote: Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act The historic Selma Bridge Crossing catalyzed the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of that event, we must restore the promise of the Civil Rights movement by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy. But since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), this cornerstone of democracy has been under relentless attack. For nearly 50 years, the VRA had broad bipartisan support and served as a critical tool for ensuring every eligible American — regardless of race, income, or zip code — had an equal say in our democracy. But in the eleven years since the disastrous Shelby County v. Holder decision, over 100 state-level laws have been enacted to suppress the vote, disproportionately harming Black, brown, Native, LGBTQ+, disabled, young, and low-income voters. We cannot let this stand. Congress must act NOW. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act will restore and strengthen the VRA, ensuring that all voters have the access and protections they deserve. Send a message to your representative today — demand they pass this crucial legislation and safeguard our democracy.

#Indigenous #IndigenousRights #IndigenousPeople #NativeAmerican #NativeAmericans #NativeAmericanRights #TakeAction Send a message to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum: Respect Tribal sovereignty and be transparent about your plans for Native ancestral lands and waters. | Native Organizers Alliance Action Fund

actionnetwork.orgBurgum: Respect Tribal sovereignty and be transparent After Deb Haaland oversaw Native homelands as the first Native Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, we now have a new Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum. Many Tribal leaders are concerned about Burgum’s support for fossil fuel companies over land protections, and concerned about Trump’s past record of anti-Native policies. In Trump’s first term, for example, he tried to revoke protections for sacred places like the Bears Ears National Monument. But there are signs of hope: Burgum has said publicly that he wants to work with Tribes and respect Tribal sovereignty, and in the past as North Dakota’s governor he took some steps to listen to and recognize Native communities. Unfortunately, Burgum has said he’ll align the Department of the Interior with Trump’s plan to “unleash” U.S. energy by “encouraging energy exploration and production on federal lands and waters” and he has completed a 15-day review of National Monuments, but he hasn’t shared any details publicly or privately with Tribes. We need to know more about his plans, including whether or not he plans to maintain the progress Tribes made during Biden’s administration, such as a record number of federal-Tribal co-management agreements. Click ‘START WRITING’ to send a message to Secretary Burgum to follow through with his pledge to work with Tribes and respect Tribal sovereignty, starting with being transparent and seeking Tribal consultation on his plans.

actionnetwork.orgTell Congress: Stop Musk and Trump from Destroying Social Security! Elon Musk and Donald Trump are breaking our Social Security system — and Congress must act now to save it. In mid-February, Musk fired Social Security’s acting commissioner and replaced her with a DOGE lackey. Untrained young DOGE staffers immediately began downloading and poring through the American people’s personal Social Security data, making it far less secure in the process. In the weeks since, at the behest of DOGE staffers, Social Security has fired and pushed out thousands of experienced Social Security workers, including senior leaders. This is a massive loss of expertise and institutional knowledge. These are the workers who make Social Security work. With 10,000 people retiring every single day, we need to strengthen the Social Security Administration, not dismantle it! DOGE has also announced plans to close nearly 50 local Social Security offices so far. And this might be only the beginning – DOGE is reportedly considering laying off half of Social Security’s workforce and closing every single field office. Martin O’Malley, Social Security’s most recent Senate-confirmed commissioner, predicts that these actions will result in a “system collapse” within the “next 30 to 90 days.” That means seniors and people with disabilities won’t get their hard-earned benefits! Workers at the Social Security Administration are working to make sure that everyone gets the benefits they’ve paid for, but the misinformation and attacks from the richest man in the world make that harder every day. Congress needs to act now to save Social Security, before it’s too late. Rep. John Larson (D-CT), ranking member of the House Social Security subcommittee, has introduced two new bills designed to protect our Social Security system from Musk and Trump: The Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act will put a moratorium on the closure of Social Security Field Offices for the rest of the Trump Administration The Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act will block Elon Musk and his cronies’ access to sensitive beneficiary data and strengthen oversight and civil penalties for any privacy and disclosure violations of Social Security beneficiaries’ personal information In addition, Larson has introduced a Resolution of Inquiry to compel President Trump to disclose to Congress information about DOGE activity at SSA and any plans to close field offices or cut staff. Congress must pass all three pieces of legislation immediately! Tell every member of Congress: Support Rep. John Larson’s legislative package to protect Social Security from Donald Trump and Elon Musk!

#Healthcare #HumanRights #SaveMedicaid #TakeAction Hands Off Medicaid!
actionnetwork.org/forms/hands-

actionnetwork.orgHands Off Medicaid! Republicans in Congress have voted to pass a budget plan that would cut $880 billion from Medicaid. If they’re ultimately successful, tens of millions of Americans will be harmed, including people with disabilities, lower-income people, children, and seniors. In Rashida Tlaib’s district alone, nearly 260,000 people who are on Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) would be at risk of losing their healthcare—including 100,000 children under 19 years old and 22,000 seniors over 65 years old. Healthcare is a human right—not a commodity. And, as a country, we have the resources to ensure everyone has the healthcare they need and deserve. Unfortunately, instead of defending access to healthcare for their constituents, congressional Republicans and the White House are seeking to kick tens of millions of people off of Medicaid to pay for Trump’s tax scam for billionaires and to pay for another $325 billion to the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to further enable Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is fighting alongside allies in our communities and in Congress to stop these dangerous cuts. Add your name to stand with Rashida in demanding Republicans get their Hands Off Medicaid!
