A Green New Deal For Healthcare

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Sanders Institute Fellow Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) just introduced the Green New Deal for Health Act, the boldest plan yet to defend American patients, healthcare workers, and community clinics from climate-driven illness and disaster. What the GND for Health does: It supports the clinics that low-income and rural Americans actually rely on. It revives a New Deal idea to make our hospitals unbreakable. It puts health workers first, not last. It protects patients at home and prepares us for the next disaster.

Tell The USPS: Deliver Every Ballot

The Postal Service has one job: deliver the mail. That includes our ballots. But Postmaster General David Steiner has reportedly opened the door to refusing delivery of lawful mail ballots in states that do not comply with Donald Trump’s voter-data scheme. That would turn USPS from a trusted public service into a weapon of voter suppression. States are already fighting back at the Supreme Court to block Trump’s order. But we do not have to wait for the Court to act. If USPS leadership is willing to endanger mail voting before the 2026 midterms, the USPS Board of Governors must step in now. Click the button below to tell the USPS Board of Governors: Stop this immediately.

Social Security 2100

Rep. John Larson (D-CT) just released an updated version of his landmark bill to expand Social Security: The Social Security 2100 Act. If enacted, this bill would fulfill the promise of our Social Security system, extend the lifespan of the Social Security trust fund, and reduce inequality. Roughly 90% of Democrats in the House co-sponsored this bill in the last Congress. We need to show grassroots support so that it can pass! CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW TO BECOME A GRASSROOTS CO-SPONSOR OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY 2100 ACT!

Stop the SAVE Act...AGAIN

He's at it again & again...AGAIN the U.S. House has rammed through the SAVE Act, now as a part of the National Defense Authorization Act. And Trump is, yet again, demanding the Senate get rid of the filibuster, cancel August recess and take up the SAVE Act in the Senate -- and Thune says he may be open to it! Now is the time to push back on the SAVE Act in the Senate! Tell your Senators VOTE NO on the SAVE Act! If enacted, the SAVE Act would effectively block millions of eligible Americans from casting a ballot. CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW -TELL YOUR SENATORS TO STAND STRONG AND REJECT THE SAVE ACT!

No Troops At The Polls!

Troubling reporting indicates Trump is laying the groundwork for potential election interference with calls to “nationalize” voting in battleground states and has refused to rule out deploying the U.S. military to polling sites this November. Sen. Elissa Slotkin just introduced the Protect Our Polls Act to stop Trump’s shameless and dangerous attempt to intimidate voters and suppress turnout. CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW TO SEND YOUR MESSAGE TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATORS - DEMAND THAT THEY KEEP TROOPS AWAY FROM VOTING SITES!

Put Food On The Table - Stop Cuts To SNAP!

Senate Republicans recently released a draft Farm Bill that fails to reverse the largest SNAP cuts in history or stop even more families from losing food assistance. Immediately afterward, President Trump released text for an emergency supplemental request that includes over $11 billion in assistance for farmers―but fails to also help families struggling with high grocery costs. Click the button below to tell your representative and senators to help families put food on the table, DO NOT support any farm legislation that fails to protect SNAP!

Thank Virginia For Restoring Voting Rights

Every eligible citizen deserves the opportunity to make their voice heard—and Virginia has taken a major step toward a more inclusive democracy. Governor Abigail Spanberger has restored voting rights to more than 66,000 Virginians with past felony convictions, giving thousands of people who have completed their sentences the opportunity to fully participate in civic life once again. Click the button below to add your name to support and celebrate Virginia for restoring voting rights.

FBI Raids Voting Rights Groups

Trump and his allies are purging voters, restricting the ballot, and lying about election results. Now the FBI has gone even further, with a raid on organizers and volunteers registering their neighbors to vote. Federal agents raided the offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, a group known for voter registration and community organizing, and seized documents and computer files. They’ve denied the public information about why the group was targeted, what justified the raid, or whether political pressure played any role. CLICK "SIGN HERE" TO SEND A LETTER TO CONGRESS NOW! Investigate the FBI raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, protect voter registration groups from political intimidation, and defend our right to vote.

We Demand A REFUND For Trump's Tariffs

Remember his “Liberation Day” tariffs? Even though the Supreme Court ruled that they were illegal, we still paid for them. Remember — tariffs aren’t paid by other countries, like Trump claimed. They’re eventually paid by us at the check-out line. And in just one year, the average American family is estimated to have spent about $1,700 more for goods because of them. Click "Sign Here" to send a message urging your members of Congress to pass the Tariff Refunds for Working Families Act.

Vote NO On A Blank Check For ICE Detention Centers

The Senate will return to work on June 2nd and a key item on the Senate agenda will be the ICE and border patrol funding package. At stake in this package is over $70 billion for Trump's mass deportation and detention centers. This essentially is a $70 billion slush fund for ICE. Now is the time to push your Senators to vote NO on the blank check for ICE. Click “Sign Here” to tell your Senators to vote NO on the $70B ICE blank check!

Stop Trump's Billion $$ Ballroom

Families in communities across the country are struggling to make ends meet. They’re paying higher prices for gas, groceries, and rent. Childcare is unaffordable, and healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. Instead of using the power of the purse to support families and lower costs, MAGA Republican leaders are focusing on Trump’s White House ballroom. The Republican budget is currently being debated in Congress and this includes $1 billion proposal for Trump's ballroom. Click the button below to send a message to Congress. Tell them to reject Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom and invest in working families instead.

Dark Money In Primaries

New reporting from The Lever has just uncovered a powerful, billionaire-backed network of PACs, consultants, and dark-money groups working behind the scenes inside Democratic primaries. This “party within the party” is funneling millions of dollars and coordinating across multiple organizations to push candidates toward a more corporate-friendly, centrist agenda — while testing the limits of campaign finance law. Contact your representatives and urge them to introduce and support legislation requiring full transparency for political spending and coordination between PACs and campaigns.

Tell Ron DeSantis: Repeal SB 1296 and end Florida’s attacks on unions

Florida is the only state in the South where collective bargaining is enshrined in the state constitution. Still Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration has waged a war on Florida's unions―especially public service workers. On International Workers Day DeSantis signed SB 1296 into law, a bill that forces public sector unions to turn out a majority of their workers in union elections every single year, or face disbandment. Any worker who doesn’t show up will effectively count as a vote against the union. Tell Ron DeSantis: Repeal SB 1296 and end Florida’s attacks on unions!

Tell Congress: Tax The Rich, Don't Cut Social Security!

For decades, Wall Street billionaires have pushed their allies in Congress to cut our earned Social Security benefits. The latest scheme in this endless battle is the so-called “Six Figure Limit.” This proposal would cap Social Security benefits at $50,000 a person, or $100,000 per couple. The billionaires behind this proposal claim that no one needs that much income in retirement—we’d love to see them try to live on $50,000 a year in NYC, Boston, or San Francisco. Tell Congress: Tax the rich, don’t cut Social Security!

Not One More Dime For Trump's War

As the violence rages on and a horrific death toll rises in Iran and across the Middle East, reports indicate Trump is gearing up to request an additional $50 BILLION from Congress to fuel his war. Those are OUR taxpayer dollars — money that should be used for healthcare, education, and more programs that help people thrive. Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio would instead misuse our resources to sow chaos, fear, and bloodshed. Within the first days of Trump’s horrible war, hospitals and schools have been attacked, hundreds are dead, including innocent children and six U.S. service members. Bombs have fallen across 12 countries, but the Iranian people have borne the brunt of this unnecessary violence. TELL CONGRESS NOT ONE DIME FOR TRUMP'S WAR!

Hold Corporations Accountable For ICE Violence

ICE enforcement has become increasingly violent and lawless. Communities across the country have witnessed raids, surveillance, and deaths in custody. In Minneapolis, two people were killed during ICE operations. Behind this violence stands a network of powerful corporations. Americans for Tax Fairness has uncovered how Amazon, AT&T, Home Depot, Microsoft, and Palantir are profiting from ICE enforcement while enjoying massive tax breaks. These corporations have collectively saved about $19 billion annually from Trump’s corporate tax law over its first seven years. Their CEOs personally pocketed as much as $124 million in individual tax giveaways. Instead of using those windfalls to strengthen communities, they funneled billions into stock buybacks, executive pay, and ICE-linked contracts. Demand that corporations stop profiting from ICE violence and end their collaboration. Click “Start Writing” to send a message to the CEOs of Amazon, AT&T, Home Depot, Microsoft, and Palantir now.

No U.S. Tax Dollars for Big Oil

After bombing Caracas, capturing then-Venezuelan President Maduro, and announcing intentions to “get the oil flowing,” it’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump is preparing to “run” Venezuela’s internal affairs while extracting its resources under threat of future violence. It’s a plan as ill-conceived as it is dangerous — and it’s already becoming clear U.S. taxpayers are likely to be left holding the bag. While Secretary of State Rubio initially claimed that their plan for Venezuela’s oil is “not going to cost us anything,” experts estimate that building up Venezuelan oil infrastructure could cost $115 BILLION. Now, Trump is suggesting that taxpayers’ dollars could be used to reimburse oil companies for the “tremendous amount of money” required to invest in Venezuela. CLICK BELOW TO TELL CONGRESS: No Taxpayer Dollars For Big Oil!

Affordability

As the affordability crisis looms large, people need better-paying jobs to support their families. Too many American workers are struggling just to access basic rights such as healthcare and the ability to put food on the table. Right now, Democrats have leverage and opportunities to deliver real solutions for working people. The Democratic Party can’t only be fighting against Trump’s attacks; its leaders must also fight FOR the changes our communities desperately need. In this political context, we have the chance to build bipartisan support in Congress for policies that raise wages and expand workers’ rights. We must push hard to force a vote on the House floor on legislation to raise wages, ensure paid time off and give workers more power to form unions. Right now, our Congressional Representatives in the U.S. House and Senate need to hear from us. Demand Congress raise wages, ensure paid leave, and protect unions TODAY!

Tell the Six Democrats Trump Threatened: We Have Your Back

Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan sent servicemembers a crucial reminder that they should disobey illegal orders. 48 hours later, Trump accused them of sedition and called for their arrest and execution. If you’re outraged, you’re not alone — and that’s why we’re speaking, with one unified voice to REJECT Trump’s violent authoritarianism. Click the button below to add your name to a letter telling the six democrats Trump threatened We Have Your Back!

Protect Federal Workers

As the government shutdown continues with no end in sight, hundreds of thousands of federal workers are going without pay. Federal workers are being used as political pawns, but the government shutdown isn’t a game. There are very real consequences for those who aren’t getting paid right now: potential evictions and foreclosures, defaults on student loans, car repossession, and more. Click the button below to tell Congress: Pass the Federal Employee Civil Relief Act and protect federal workers during the shutdown!

USMCA

Donald Trump talks a big game about putting the interests of working Americans first, but the only people he ever seems to deliver for are himself and his billionaire buddies. Trump’s biggest trade deal to date — the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), aka NAFTA 2.0 — has failed to deliver any of its promised benefits to working people, family farmers and communities. Click below to submit official public comments demanding that Trump’s rigged trade deal be rewritten to prioritize job creation, wage increases, worker rights and an end to corporate giveaways!

Preserve Mail-In Voting

Recently our Dictator-In-Chief ramped up his attacks against mail-in voting and vowed to “lead a movement” to eliminate the practice ahead of the 2026 midterms. But will Trump's campaign against mail-in voting survive? Click the button below to write your Governor urging hi/her to preserve vote-by-mail!

Save Social Security

The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 14, 1935. And for the past 90 years, Social Security has paid benefits in full and on time. Until now. Click here to send a message to your members of Congress: Restore the Social Security Administration's full funding!

Tax Billionaires

America's wealthiest families have gamed the system for decades, growing richer and more powerful without paying taxes on most of their income. While working people pay taxes on every paycheck, billionaires avoid taxes on the growth of their stock portfolios, real estate, and private business holdings. Now, Congress has a chance to put an end to this two-tiered tax system. The newly introduced Billionaires Income Tax, bill would require billionaires and ultra-millionaires to pay a minimum 23.8% tax rate on all of their income. Sign your name to the petition below.

Keep The Military Off Our Streets

When the Trump administration deployed U.S. Marines to the streets of Los Angeles — an unprecedented move in response to largely peaceful protests against immigration raids — their stated mission was to protect federal property and personnel. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem offered a different explanation: “[L]iberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership” of the governor and the mayor. Join us in fighting back. Sign the letter to Attorneys General calling on them to take legal action to stop Donald Trump

Pass The JLVRAA

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 had an equal say in our democracy. But it's under attack from anti-voting rights legislators who want to keep suppressing voters. Follow the link below to send a message to your Member of Congress: Pass The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!

Investigate Trump's L.A. Crackdown

In deploying thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles—without the consent of California’s governor—Trump used Los Angeles as a test case. In this single act, Donald Trump crossed a line no president in modern U.S. history has dared to cross. How far will he go next? Congress must act NOW to stop Trump! Follow the link below to demand that Congress open a full congressional investigation into Trump’s military crackdown in Los Angeles.

Trump Stealing 2026

We know it's hard to believe, but it's true, Trump is already plotting to rig the 2026 elections and he'll use the Justice Department to do it. Recently, Trump’s DOJ has been demanding state and local officials turn over access to sensitive election and voting data, including voter rolls, voting histories, private data, and even physical access to voting machines. Follow the link below to write your local election officials asking them to defend our democracy against Trump’s scheme to steal the midterms.

Stop Attacks On Non Profits

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill are provisions that would divert billions away from charitable work. It slaps steep new taxes on foundations, punishes nonprofits for offering basic employee benefits, and tightens financial screws on organizations that serve our communities every day. These proposals aren't just about taxes. They’re part of a broader Trump administration effort to weaken and bully anyone who might stand in its way, especially non-profits Follow the link below to tell the Senate: Stop the Republican Attacks on Nonprofits
