- Contact our members of Congress and urge them to pass H.R. 767/S.4467, Protecting Access to Medication Abortion Act, which would protect the use of mifepristone which has been used for over 20 years to provide safe, effective medication abortion . Need a script? How about ““I am your constituent and I want you to actively support and enact H.R. 767/S.4467, Protecting Access to Medication Abortion Act. Mifepristone (which anti-abortion activists are so anxious to ban) is used in 63% of abortions, and it is safer than Tylenol. How about a statement in public while SCOTUS thinks about taking more rights away? BTW the same arguments used in the Mifepristone case can deny access to many other lifesaving drugs and vaccines.”
- Contact our members of Congress and urge them to join Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) in her effort to repeal the Comstock Act. Reproductive rights advocates have been raising the alarm about how a GOP administration could use the Comstock Act to prevent the delivery of medication abortion drugs nationwide. Currently, 63% of abortions are medication abortion. And it’s not just USPS deliveries. It would be all deliveries. The When SCOTUS heard oral arguments about banning mifepristone, Thomas and Alito asked questions about the Comstock Act, providing anti-abortion with a path forward.
- Contact our members of Congress and urge them to co-sponsor and pass the bill that Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) has drafted to bar federal officeholders and candidates who are charged with certain criminal offenses from having access to classified information. As a presidential candidate, Trump may already be receiving classified information. Sherrill’s bill would also ban Robert Menendez (D-NJ) from receiving classified briefings.
- Contact our members of Congress and urge them to join Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) in asking the DOJ to declassify documents pertaining to the conviction of lobbyist and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Manafort was convicted on tax and bank fraud charges that emerged from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump’s connection with the Russian government and its efforts to get him elected in 2016. He was convicted for conspiracy to obstruct justice and conspiracy against the United States for tampering with witnesses. He spent a few months in jail before being released on May 13, 2020 to home confinement to protect him from getting Covid. He was pardoned by Trump in December 2020. Now it appears that Trump is in talks with Manafort to make him a campaign adviser later this year, just in time for the GOP convention this summer.
- Contact our members of Congress and urge them to co-sponsor and pass H.R. 5291/S. 3517, the People Over Long Lines Act, which would require states to ensure that voters wait no more than 30 minutes at any polling place to cast their vote in a federal election, establishes a private right of action for voters who experience longer waiting times, and directs the Election Assistance Commission to make payments to eligible states to prevent unreasonable waiting times. The bill also requires each state to provide for the minimum required number of voting systems, poll workers, and other election resources for each polling location on the day of any federal election and each day of early voting. The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division must issue uniform standards regarding the minimum number and distribution of such systems, workers, and other resources.
