Actions on immigration detention centers, upholding justice in Texas, mifepristone access, and more!

Contact all members of Congress:

Contact White House or other federal agencies:


  • SUPPORT NEW PRO-LGBTQ LEGISLATIVE PAC
    Senator Machaela Cavanaugh, who has heroically ground the Nebraska state senate to a halt with her filibuster of a bill to ban gender-affirming health care, has launched a new political action committee to elect pro-LBTQ quality candidates to state legislatures. This comes in a year when almost 450 bills targeting LGBTQ rights have been filed in 44 states, and an alarming number of anti-trans bills have already become law. Let’s sign up for updates from this organization so we can support their efforts in the future.

  • ASK DEM GOVERNORS TO ISSUE EXECUTIVE ORDERS PRESERVING MIFEPRISTONE ACCESS
    Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has taken decisive action to ensure access to the abortion medication mifepristone in her state. First, she got U Mass to buy a year’s worth of mifepristone—15,000 doses—and is getting other health care providers to order more. Her Executive Order confirms that mifepristone is protected by a state law that was passed in the wake of Dobbs, as are the providers and patients who use it, and instructs state agencies to issue guidance to help implement the order and support to public universities with their medication abortion readiness plans. If we have a Democratic Governor, let’s ask them to stockpile mifepristone and issue a similar Executive Order protecting medication abortion in our states.

STATE-SPECIFIC ACTIONS

  • AZ/NV/VA: PUSH YOUR LEGISLATORS TO COMMIT TO “RIGHT TO WORK” REPEAL
    Last month, Michigan became the first state in decades to repeal a “right to work” law. These laws allow those in union workplaces to free ride, opting out of paying union dues and fees while still benefiting from the union’s work. Union organizers often call them “right to work for less” laws, and research has tied them to lower wages along with declines in union membership. Arizona, Nevada and Virginia are all “right to work” states in which we are in striking distance of Democratic trifectas. If we’re in these states, let’s contact our Democratic legislators and governors and ask them to commit to making a right-to-work repeal a priority the next time those trifectas come into effect, and let’s be sure to ask future legislative and gubernatorial candidates to make the same pledge.
