Send a Letter to the Editor to protect SNAP!

Our families are struggling enough as it is to afford the rising costs of
food. But now extremist Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives
are planning to make it even harder for many families to feed their
children by making massive cuts and restrictions to the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or food stamps). Members of Congress
are home right now for their April recess and we want to flood local
newspapers with messages on the importance of protecting SNAP.

the protection of SNAP! (Don’t worry–our cool tool makes it super easy for
you to submit a letter to your local paper. We’ll walk you through all the
steps and even supply sample language!)

Tell Congress to stop glorifying guns, starting with a ban on assault weapons!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Military-style semi-automatic assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
are the firearms of choice for mass shooters, used in mass shooting
tragedies from Sandy Hook to Parkland, Charleston to Atlanta, Pittsburgh
to Las Vegas, El Paso to Buffalo, and now Nashville. They are designed to
efficiently kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of
time. There’s no good reason for civilians to own assault weapons and
high-capacity magazines, which are the ultimate symbols of gun
glorification that are turning our schools, malls, concerts, movie
theaters, places of worship, stores, highways, parades, other public
spaces, and even holidays into war zones filled with terror, devastation
and terrible loss.

and high-cap magazines now!

Quick signature: Tell Congress no cuts to Medicaid!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Right now, some Republicans in Congress are threatening to crash the U.S.
and world economy by refusing to lift the debt ceiling (the amount our
government can borrow to pay our existing bills which also happens to be a
totally arbitrary number) in order to extract massive cuts to critical
programs for families like Medicaid. We cannot let them play chicken with
our health care.

[ [link removed] ]WHPA2023
Urge your Member of Congress to protect access to abortion care by passing WHPA
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
It’s been over eight months since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
Wade, striking down our constitutional right to abortion in the United
States., And as of February 2023, abortion is completely illegal in 12
states, leaving millions without abortion access in their home state. Our
lawmakers must understand that passing a federal bill will protect the
right to access abortion care throughout the U.S. by safeguarding us
against the harsh bans and medically unnecessary restrictions in which we
are currently experiencing, living through, and witnessing every single
day on the state level. The Woman’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) is an
important step forward in ensuring that people have attainable access to
quality, affordable, and compassionate reproductive services and abortion
in their state.
