Calls to Elected Officials
Democrats must, as AOC says, either be seen to be winning, or caught trying. That’s what our calls are for - to encourage them to try and, hopefully, to win. To keep fighting for our freedoms. To make that fight consistent with our actions, both at home and abroad.
Let’s make some calls!
NO FURTHER AID TO ISRAEL
WITHOUT COMPLIANCE
Last week, forty House Democrats, led by Mark Pocan, sent a letter to President Biden, asking that he condition any further aid to Israel on their compliance with U.S. and international law. They are in violation of both and we need President Biden to halt aid to Israel until they comply.
Please call President Biden and your Senators and say:
Gazans are facing imminent starvation. I need you to demand an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and force Israel to allow sufficient aid in to Gaza. Stop all aid to Israel until it complies. You must also restore funding to UNRWA, the only agency capable of distributing the aid.”
President Joe Biden

THE SENATE MUST INVESTIGATE
MAGA SUPREME COURT CORRUPTION
Please call your Senators and say:
I’m calling to ask the Senator to push Majority Leader Schumer and I’m calling to ask the Senator to push Majority Leader Schumer and Judiciary Chair Durbin to hold hearings to investigate the rampant corruption of the MAGA justices on our Supreme Court. I am sick and tired of them looking the other way. We need them to do their jobs!

IN CALIFORNIA:
LET’S GET ROOFTOP SOLAR GROWING AGAIN!
In response to citizen pressure, lawmakers in Sacramento have introduced over half a dozen bills to combat the utilities’ attack on rooftop solar, which last year in California slowed installations to a crawl and killed 17,000 jobs.
Rather than ask you to make calls, please use this link to sign on to support the bills that will help restore rooftop solar and rein in the utilities’ attacks on our climate and our pocketbooks.
