ACTION

FROM INDIVISIBLE NATIONAL

  1. Tell Congress to block Trump’s march to war with Venezuela (CLICK HERE). Donald Trump, winner of the FIFA Peace Prize, continues amassing warships in the Caribbean while bombing small vessels without any legal justification and threatening a full on invasion of Venezuela. We expect a vote in the House this week, and the Senate soon after, on legislation to block the regime from committing US forces to an illegal Venezuelan war. Use our email tool to urge your Members of Congress to vote YES.

  2. Email your Members of Congress to demand investigations into Hegseth’s murderous strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific (CLICK HERE). It appears increasingly likely that Pete Hegseth oversaw war crimes in the regime’s illegal bombings of small boats in the Caribbean. Congress has a duty to launch investigations into these strikes, which have killed over 87 people thus far. Email your Members of Congress and demand they haul Pete Hegseth into public hearings on these ongoing extrajudicial murders.

CONTACT YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVE

Amy Klobuchar: (202) 224-3244 klobuchar.senate.gov

Tina Smith (202) 224-5641 smith.senate.gov

First, I want the Senator to oppose any legislation that includes federal preemption of state AI laws. We shouldn’t weaken safeguards on AI technology at a time when we need more regulations to protect the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence.

Second, I understand that Sen. Adam Schiff is going to ask for unanimous consent for a bill requiring the administration to release the Sept. 2 boat strikes video. I want the Senator to support him on this. We will not let this go. We want to see the video and we want Hegseth to pay for his crimes if crimes were committed. Thank you.

______________________________________________________________

 

Tom Emmer (202) 225-2331; (763) 241-6848 emmer.house.gov

First, I want the Congressmember to support the two War Powers Resolutions that would halt the Trump administration’s unauthorized military operation against Venezuela. Your constituents do not want another endless war. We’re counting on you to check the Trump administration’s lawless attacks against Venezuela.

Second, I strongly oppose H.R. 3492 and HR 498. The first is a dangerous bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender young people, and the second blocks Medicaid from covering gender affirming care. I expect the Congressmember to vote no. Thanks.

Finally, I support Hakeem Jeffries bill extending the ACA premium tax credits. I do NOT support Republicans’ new, eleventh-hour, half-baked plan that isn’t even feasible to implement. Extend the subsidies now! Americans are staring down an affordability crisis. Congress needs to act.

Here Are Six Reasons Why Your Worst Fears about American Democracy Won’t Come True in 2026

Chris Bowers: Wolves and Sheep

1. As Trump’s popularity drops, so does his ability to get his political targets to capitulate

2. Americans are exercising their democratic right to dissent at record levels

3. Trump has failed to prosecute his political enemies

4. The president still doesn’t control elections

5. Republicans can no longer pass Donald Trump’s desired legislation along partisan lines

6. Donald Trump’s power is being constrained in the courts

GOOD NEWS!!!

ACTIONS BY: EARTHJUSTICE

https://earthjustice.org/

Earlier this year the Trump administration canceled more than 600 USDA grants, hundreds of which benefited farmers and organizations that work to strengthen rural communities, address food insecurity, advance sustainable agriculture, and more. Earthjustice was the organization that sued to get those grants restored– and won! And that was far from their only win.

They successfully blocked the Trump administration from illegally opening one of the world’s most pristine tropical marine environments to commercial fishing.They got the Department of Agriculture to restore critical information about climate change that it purged from its websites.

They forced Tyson Foods to stop making climate claims that weren’t true. And of course they got a judge to shut down DeSantis’s horrific detention center in the Everglades. It’s been allowed to reopen pending an appeal, but the folks at Earthjustice are still working to make that shutdown permanent.
