- CALL OUT “BIG LIES” ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ELSEWHEREWith reports of right wing users spreading false information on X (Twitter) about migrants voting and Speaker Mike Johnson pedaling a Trump-sponsored bill that will prevent non-citizens voting in a federal election, which is already illegal, we need to take strong action to repudiate these “big lies” whenever we see or hear them: on social media, or around the table with family members. We should also make sure our friends, family and colleagues know that RFK Jr.’s campaign, funded by many high level GOP donors, is designed to help Trump get back to office. Let’s make sure to be vigilant in calling out lies whenever we see them. It’s fine to have civil discussions and disagreements on policy, but all voters, whatever their views, should be aware of the facts.

- CLIMATE RISK DISCLOSURE FOR FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
The Biden Administration is starting to run out of time to impose crucial rule changes before they could be potentially reversed by a Republican trifecta via the Congressional Review Act. Among those promises that still need to be kept: the President’s pledge to require the federal government’s contractors and suppliers to disclose their climate emissions and risks. This would set obligations for thousands of businesses, particularly in defense and aerospace. The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council was originally expected to have a draft rule set a year ago. A group of congressional Democrats led by Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the White House last week urging them to finalize this regulation as soon as possible. Let’s add our voices to theirs and contact the White House, along with council members Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, and head of the General Services Administration Robin Carnahan, to push them to get this long overdue rule issued. - FREE LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLSDemocraShe is a nonpartisan nonprofit offering FREE online training to female-identifying high school teens in evidence-based resiliency skills, leadership & civic engagement.
