If you have a Republican Representative, call to let them know that they ought to be working AND Speaker Johnson needs to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. If your Senators are Republicans, call them to let them know that you agree with Donald Trump; they have the power to open the government. Either negotiate with the Dems or nuke the filibuster. Remind them that this shutdown is their choice. ** Find Your Representative | house.gov , Contacting U.S. Senators ** Group Directory - The Visibility Brigade: Resistance is Possible ** Vote Yes 836 - Oklahoma is gathering signatures ** How to Organize a Bearing Witness Standout **Indiana teacher snitch portal - Eyes on Education ** Find Your Representative | house.gov , Contacting U.S. Senators From The Good News nhmarf.org Mutual Aid Hub ICE Out of LA Rose Haven - Oregon Dana Goldberg Outrageous Tour - November 14th Chicago Our Donation Links National Security Counselors - Donate , MSW Media, Blue Wave CA Victory Fund | ActBlue , WhistleblowerAid.org/beans Federal workers - email AG at fedoath@pm.me and let me know what you’re going to do, or just vent.
