Tired of GOP BS? Here’s how to stop them and save democracy

Monday, July 25
Phone Bank for NY candidates
6 -7:30 PM

Phone bank around NY to support progressive candidates. This week, the tour stops at Staten Island for Brittany Ramos Debarros (NY11). Register HERE

Phone Bank for PA

PA Senator Toomey is retiring, so there’s an open seat up for grabs. This is a great chance to pick up another Dem Senator (and expand our majority). If Tuesday isn’t good for you, there are plenty of other times and dates available. Register HERE.

Wednesday, July 27
Public Renewables Now!
12 PM
250 Broadway

When Albany blocked every climate bill last year, organizers made a plan to fight back. Join us for a mass rally and press conference on Wednesday, July 27 at noon at the legislature’s door to tell them New York Wants Public Renewables NOW!

Demand that Carl Heastie hold a special session immediately following the hearing to pass the Build Public Renewables act. Tell him and the other fossil-fueled backed Democrats that we mean business.

Thursday, July 28
Tell Schumer He’s the Leader (not Manchin or Mitch)
11 AM
780 Third Avenue

Let’s remind Senator Schumer that he is in charge and he should make sure Manchin (and Mitch) can’t continue to stop progress on climate change, voting rights, women’s rights and more. The chair of the Senate Committee of Energy and Natural Resources should not be pro-coal! We’ll be there to protest, along with Indivisible Activate and Indivisible BK. Register HERE

Write Postcards to Support Abortion Rights In Kansas

There is a proposed amendment to the Kansas constitution which would take away women’s rights to abortion. It was carefully planned during low turnout primaries and worded in a way to make people vote for it (when the correct answer is against!) Sign up to send postcards to tell Kansans the truth!
