Action Alerts: Our Weekly Roundup of Opportunities for Activism
Welcome to our March 15th edition!
Happening TODAY, March 15th! Indivisible FL-13 sent this easy postcard action: The Ides of Trump.
”On March 15th, many people will mail Donald Trump a postcard publicly expressing our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired. …
Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Take a picture and post it on social media tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump! Spread the word! Everyone on Earth should let Donnie know how he’s doing. They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail.”
Mail your messages to:
President (for now) Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

People are pissed! Nick Knudsen at DemCast created a simple form to tell Democrats in Congress to take bold action on the issues that matter most to us. Let them know what you think about Friday’s vote on the reprehensible continuing resolution. Make your voice heard. Now!

Sue at Rogan’s List is asking us to help resist planned layoffs of VA staff.
“Yet another department set to face savage cuts that will badly hurt the people who depend on them: the Department of Veterans’ Affairs is set to fire 80,000 workers, with mass layoffs starting in June. Secretary Doug Collins insisted “this administration is finally going to give veterans what they want.” … Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called the cuts a “gut punch”: “They’re laying waste to the VA in the name of cutting waste, and they’re doing it with a meat axe.” …
This is not the only sign the Trump administration will no longer pretend to care for veterans. Trump advisor Alina Habba recently suggested some veterans being laid off weren’t actually working: “perhaps they’re not fit to have a job at this moment, or not willing to come to work.”
Let’s contact our reps to protest these betrayals of those who fought for this country.
Use language from this Resistbot petition from Jessica Craven.
Text “sign PHZABO” to 50409 to send that petition to your reps.
