Trump is facing multiple trials for his various criminal acts, but justice has not been swift, as Trump and his lawyers keep drawing the process out even further. We appreciate attention to detail as his prosecutors work to secure ironclad convictions, but it comes at a cost: These trials will not be concluded swiftly.
We can’t leave it to the justice system to keep Trump out of power. We must do our part to stop him at the ballot box this fall. To protect our civil rights and reproductive rights, and fight for climate and economic justice, we must re-elect President Biden, hold the Senate, and take back the House.
With the election still six months away, now is the time to prepare. And, critical primaries and special elections are still happening in the meantime. Here are some ways you can help get out the vote right now.
- California Grassroots Alliance is holding an election recap webinar, making plans to build the 2024 Blue Wave.
- Activate America has started postcard writing campaigns to California, Arizona and Nevada to flip the House and support Ruben Gallego for Senate.
- Bay Area Coalition is also targeting California, Arizona and Nevada with phone banks.
- Indivisible National has phone banking campaigns to protect IVF in red states.
Check out our vote page for up-to-date opportunities on getting out the vote.
Over 65? It's time for your spring COVID-19 shot
If you're 65 years of age or older, you need to renew your protection against COVID-19 more frequently than younger folks. So last week the CDC recommended that you get another COVID-19 shot if it's been more than four months since your previous COVID-19 vaccination.
Folks who've had a rough time with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines may want to try Novavax, as some recipients have reported less severe side effects than with the mRNA-based vaccines.
Whichever COVID-19 shot you go with, it should be covered by your insurance. If you're uninsured, the CDC's Bridge Access Program covers the cost at participating pharmacies. For a pharmacy near you that's offering COVID-19 shots, visit https://vaccines.gov/.
Volunteers welcome: We’re looking for an Editor and a Social Media Person!
This year is going to be a busy time, and we’d love a few more volunteers on board to help with editing our weekly newsletter and publishing ongoing social media posts.
Our newsletter team meets every Tuesday night, and our editor helps us make sure everything looks professional, all the links work, and all the commas are in the right places.
Several members of our team post on various social media websites (Twitter, Mastodon, Instagram, etc.). This is more of an ad-hoc role. We especially would like someone to help us create, schedule, and monitor posts on the Meta Suite (Facebook and Instagram) and Threads. No prior knowledge required—we can train you!
If you’re interested in volunteering, let us know at [email protected].
