‼️👇ACTION ALERT
TODAY: We’re teaming up with @aclu.org, @moveon.org, @publiccitizen.bsky.social, and more friends for a call-in day to drive as many calls to Congress as possible.
Join us to demand our elected officials use the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to get ICE Out For Good.

The regime shot Renee Nicole Good and then labeled her a domestic terrorist.
But they didn’t do it because they’re strong — they did it because they’re weak and scared.
Congress must answer the people’s call to get ICE Out For Good: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... #ICEOutForGood

Every elected official will soon vote on whether to empower Trump to send more secret police forces into our communities. Let’s flood Congress with calls to demand #ICEOutForGood.

We're taking a moment to reflect today on everything that has happened this year. One VERY bright spot? We've raised more than $215,000 this year, thanks to all of you.
It's hard to find the words to express the depth of our gratitude for this show of solidarity.

Good morning. Five years ago today, Jan 6, 2021, insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Lincoln warned that government “of the people, by the people, for the people” must not perish.

Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.
