Actions for Week of September 5, 2021

If we do not act, who will act for us?

Any time
Pass the Women’s Health Protection Act
Yes, our congressional reps support this, but we’ve got to pressure them (especially Schumer) on this. Even more reason to kill the filibuster!

Any time
(Not an action per se, but vital info about amendments on the ballot this November)
Make voting easier, protect our air and water, and redistricting

Wednesday, Sept. 8
Chuck the Filibuster
2-4 PM OR 4-6 PM

Team up with Common Cause to insist on real democracy (and not the Trumpian dystopia the GOP wants). Call voters in Delaware and connect them to their Senators. Urge those Senators to support the For the People Act (S1) and eliminate the filibuster.

Any time
Tell the White House to protect our right to vote

\While we’re at it, let’s make sure the White House knows how we feel about elections.

Sunday September 12
Join Field Team 6 in calling eligible voters in North Carolina's 8th district
3-5 PM

You’ll be targeting Richard Hudson, a traitorous Republican who voted to overturn the Biden election results. In November, Richard won his district (NC-08) by 6.6 points, or 24,993 votes. We have 33,938 eligible voters to call in his district. Let’s go get ‘em.

Any time
Register votes in Texas
Beto O’Rourke has launched a tool to help register TX voters right in their homes. You can phone bank, text, or do social media outreach.

FUN

A little piece of Mars collected (for eventual retrieval)

Friends!

**** Your steering committee: Jodi, Margo, Nicole, and Jonathan

P.S. There will be a Women’s March on October 2 to protest TX and the Supreme Court’s shadow docket denying women basic rights over our own bodies. More details as I get them.
