[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, September 24, 2020

It’s been a hard week, and in 2020 that’s saying something. From the death
of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the utter lack of
justice for Breonna Taylor, and with the ongoing pandemic, everyday can
feel overwhelming.

We invite you to slow down with us, to take time for you, for just a brief
moment. To close your eyes and take five slow breaths. With just five
slow, calm breaths, you can make a big difference for your well-being.

And when you’ve done that, we have five quick actions you can take, just
below. You’ll be speaking out against the atrocities of ICE, standing up
for Justice Ginsburg’s legacy, helping to get out the vote, demanding
justice for Breonna Taylor, and more. With just five quick actions, you’ll
have made a big difference for the MomsRising movement -- and for our
democracy. Thank you and scroll on down.

32 bullets. #BreonnaWasMurdered

Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now

32 bullets. 32 bullets were fired by police officers as they stormed
through Breonna Taylor’s house without even knocking first. 32 bullets
were fired by police officers as she slept in her bed, murdering her. The
one bullet that a police officer is being held responsible for? The one
that hit the wall of the apartment. The wall. “Wanton engagement” was the
charge for the bullet hitting the wall. In an egregious miscarriage of
justice, showing the deadly effects of structural racism in our policing
and criminal justice systems, there were no charges related to the murder
of Breonna Taylor. Let us repeat: None.

broken policing and criminal justice systems is not over.

QUICK SIGNATURE: Shut down Irwin Detention Center and Defund ICE

Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now

“An inordinate amount of hysterectomies are taking place.” This is the
chilling testimony of a brave whistleblower – a nurse, Black woman, and
mom of five named Dawn Wooten working at the Irwin County Detention Center
in Georgia, which is operated by LaSalle Corrections, a private prison
company. There is a long history in the U.S. of cruelty against those who
need our protection the most, and controlling women’s bodies is a
recurring systemic tactic of white supremacy. We cannot reward continual
human rights abuses against Black and Brown communities. We will not stand
by as history repeats itself.

Irwin Detention Center be shut down, and Congress cut funding to ICE and
CPB!

Now is the time. With immeasurable sadness, America’s moms mourn this
tremendous loss – and we honor Justice Ginsburg by mobilizing and
organizing. Her passing shows even more clearly what we already knew: Our
votes are critically needed to protect our democracy and rights. It's go
time.

[ [link removed] ]We need your contribution – at any level – from $2.70, $27, $270 to
$2,700, in honor of her 27 years on the U.S. Supreme Court because every
single dollar has an amplified impact right now – to help get out the mom
vote in a BIG way to advance Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s vision of a
country where we can all live with dignity, count on equal opportunity,
and have control over our reproductive health and lives.

We have to get moms to the polls. Can you help?

MomsRising is running phonebanks each week in October, right up to the
national election on November 3. We know it can sound scary if you’ve
never done it before, but it’s actually really fun, and our skilled team
will walk you through the whole thing! We’ve been bowled over by the
incredible enthusiasm of tens of thousands of MomsRising members who have
already requested 10s, 100s, even thousands of our postcard reminders to
turn out the #MomsVote. So we know that people like you are seriously
motivated to turn out the vote in this election. That’s why we’re putting
in place a brand new plan for phonebanking to turn out moms who don’t
always vote. They just need a little help to get to the polls, and YOU can
give them that. A call from a voter like you to help make sure they’re
registered, and have a plan to vote, will help those moms cast their
ballot on, or before, November 3. The research shows this works, and we
know the enthusiasm of MomsRising members is boundless.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to sign up to join our first phonebank party on Thursday,
October 1 at 6pm Eastern / 3pm Pacific.You can phonebank from the comfort
of your couch, and you’ll be doing the most effective thing you can to
help protect democracy!

ACT NOW: No hearings or votes on the U.S. Supreme Court before the inauguration!

In her final days, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dictated a message to her
granddaughter stating: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be
replaced until a new president is installed." This is a truly urgent
moment. Having the vote before the election results, and while people are
already voting early in many states, is a repudiation of the principles
the Republicans set out during the Obama administration for Supreme Court
nominations.
