In this newsletter, you’ll find action steps to take so you can resist the Trump administration’s unlawful actions against our government and help protect our democracy.
“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” — Congressman John Lewis
Rallies
Join We Are The Flood on Capitol Hill, June 6, 9 AM ET, and tell Congress we will not accept fascism and if they do, they will be held accountable.
Join the FOX Takedown in front of FOX headquarters, 499 N Capitol St NW, D.C., and tell them that we will NOT accept their sane washing coverage of and normalizing this administration.
On June 14, join the NO KINGS mass protest nationwide organized by Indivisible. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. Please invite three friends to come with you. You’ll be surprised by how many people would go to this rally (because they don’t agree with the Trump regime’s actions) but may need a gentle push to go. For more information and to find out where there’s a rally near you click here.

Join Vote Save America, the Human Rights Campaign and the Immigrant Defenders Law Center for a protest in support of Andry José Hernández Romero — Action for Andry, June 6, 5 PM ET.

Contact Congress
The Reconciliation bill that Trump dubbed as “the big beautiful bill” — which is really a big, bad, ugly bill that will hurt millions of Americans —passed in the Republican House. It cuts over $7 billion to Medicaid which means it will be harder to get the health coverage that millions of Americans need; hospitals will be in danger of closing (especially in rural areas); and seniors will get kicked out of their senior living facilities — where will they live? It will also cut $5 billion in Medicare after Republicans told us they wouldn’t touch it. The bill also cuts food assistance for 11 million people including four million children. Kids and seniors will starve. All this to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg while Americans will be left struggling. The bill is unconscionable. Now the bill is in the Senate. Please contact your Republican senators and demand they vote NO on this bill:
By phone: 202-224-3121By email: Congress.gov
By US mail: senators
By Resistbot: Resist.bot
Call your senators and demand they vote no on the GENIUS Act, a crypto bill that wouldn’t do anything to regulate cryptocurrency and still allow Trump to keep profiting from his crypto investments. For more info and to contact your senators, click here.

The SAVE Act, A GOP-backed bill, would make voter registration significantly more difficult for married women, transgender individuals, seniors, people with disabilities, and minorities. The legislation is aimed at addressing the largely unsubstantiated issue of noncitizen voting. While the bill has already passed in the House, it could still be blocked in the Senate if Democratic members remain united.
Common Cause will be hosting phone banks every Tuesday and Thursday either 5:30–7:30 PM ET or 6–8 PM ET to call swing state voters and encourage them to urge their legislators to oppose this bill. Volunteers will have the opportunity to patch voters directly through to their lawmakers, allowing them to express their outrage and advocate against the legislation.
