Actions to Take This Week
TELL DEMOCRATS: NO SCHUMER CORONATION!
The midterm election made it very clear that voters want a new generation of Democratic fighters. We need a leader in the Senate who can lead that fight.
The American people did not elect Democrats in historic numbers and at all levels of government just to bend the knee and go back to business as usual. Senate Democrats need to listen to the voters and turn the page on status quo politics.
Pick up the phone and call Senators Padilla and Schiff and tell them that they need to step up and call for an open and transparent process for choosing new Democratic leadership. It’s time for someone new to lead the opposition to the MAGA onslaught. Let our senators know that they must meet the moment and support a new vision, new policies, and new energy to take America back from the oligarchs who have taken control. Call or send an email demand to our CA senators.
Reject Tech Billionaires’ Election Meddling
While hundreds of us came together at Portola Park on Saturday, October 17 to support and celebrate Early Voting and our democracy, Meta unexpectedly suspended the No Kings Coalition Instagram account.
The page was completely hidden, and administrators were locked out for hours without any justification. After intense public backlash, Meta restored access and gave a flimsy excuse for the suspension that does not align with known facts.
At a time when corporate colluders and tech billionaires are pouring millions of dollars into our elections and putting their thumbs on the scales for their political cronies across the globe, this silencing of opposition voices should alarm us all, regardless of our politics. It’s a warning sign for democracy – and we expect Congress to act now.
Tell your Members of Congress to investigate this incident and hold tech giants accountable for any attempts to interfere in our elections or free speech.
Money Out of Politics
Efforts continue to push the California Legislature to get money out of politics, by changing what powers are granted to corporations by the state. To learn more and get updates on this issue, visit our Money Out of Politics resource page.
Stop Funding Iran War
Trump's unauthorized, unprovoked war in Iran has cost the lives of U. S. service members and thousands of civilians across the Middle East. Both the House and Senate have passed War Powers Resolutions challenging Trump's unauthorized military actions against Iran and reasserting Congress's constitutional authority over matters of war. But these votes are not enough.
Demand that Members of Congress hold the line for not another dime to stop the war machine.
Stop Collusion w/ Netanyahu
Trump and Netanyahu have partnered to commit devastating war crimes across the Middle East. Now, Congress is being asked to cement even deeper military coordination with the Israeli government into U.S. law, through joint weapons development, intelligence sharing, defense technology partnerships, all while reducing transparency and public oversight.
Urge your Members of Congress to vote against provisions that would further integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and help stop the perpetration of war crimes.
