RemovePaulGosar Update and Further Action
Paul Gosar is in the news for supporting the #BigLie, organizing Insurrection, and advocating White Supremacy. The media has not been revealing his relationship to his funders.
But….all of you have! And It’s Working!
The American Dental Association is now aware of who their PAC is supporting and they are feeling the pressure. Callers are reporting back to us. Dialogue is happening inside the organization. This is how change is made. BUT the ADA has not yet publicly stated they will stop funding Paul Gosar… so we have to keep the pressure up.We are expanding our tactics:
Call the ADA Political Action Committee 202 -789-5171
Call the American Association of Pediatric Dentists 312- 337-2169
(They also fund Paul Gosar with their PAC)

DEMAND SENATOR SINEMA SAVE DEMOCRACY
Take action right now to tell Senator Sinema to stand with you, not Mitch McConnell.
In Arizona need we to pull together your collective constituent power to apply pressure. Check out our Save Democracy Sinema hub for actions you can take right now.

VOTER SUPRESSION: Republicans in the state legislature in Arizona have introduced more voter suppression bills than anywhere else in the country. Read about voter supression bills in Arizona HERE
The FOR THE PEOPLE ACT (S.1.) is a federal bill in the U.S. Senate that would fight back against state-level attacks on our democracy by limiting the influence of big money in politics, making voting easier and more secure, ending partisan gerrymandering, and giving the public more information about who is lobbying our government. Unfortunately, Senator Sinema is standing in the way of its passage.

Biden Administration Asked to Review Plutonium Pit
Expansion Plans
This Nuclear Resister column in this PI newsletter is a press release from three of the major peace organizations. With a new administration come new opportunities, to not only reverse the damage done by the past administration, but move forward new opportunities. Plutonium Pits are crucial in the development of new nuclear weapons. No new Pits, no new nuclear weapons. Read the entire column HERE.
PERSPECTIVES
“The male hummingbird’s throat (gorget) and crown flash rose-red or pink in good light but turn velvety black and various other colors when not reflecting light directly to our eye. These iridescent colors are structural, created by tiny discs filled with air bubbles on the barbules of the feathers. Males use this colorful display to impress females and intimidate rivals. It’s a red badge of courage.” Photo and caption by Walt Anderson
