[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, October 2, 2020

What a week, friends. We hope you'll have some time to relax and recharge
this weekend. We know this fall will continue to be a doozy, and it's
always a good time for self-care.

We're going to kick off this list of top-priority actions by once again
inviting you to slow down for just a moment, 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, please see this week's list of high-priority,
high-impact actions, below. These include lots of ways you can help grow
the mom vote, demand justice for Breonna Taylor, and stand up for the
integrity of the Supreme Court. Please scroll down, take action, and then
take good care of yourself this weekend. Thank you!

1. SIGN OUR LETTER to the Senate saying “no!” to Trump’s Supreme Court nominee!

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

President Trump’s nominee to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme
Court, Amy Coney Barrett, is an extremist pick. She is against the
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), she doesn’t believe in a woman’s right to
have an abortion under any circumstances, and she has taken anti-LGBTQ+
and anti-civil rights positions in the past. Yet. U.S. Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell is trying to jam her confirmation through the U.S.
Senate in the next few weeks, despite the fact that voting has already
started in many states and a Supreme Court justice hasn’t been confirmed
this close to an election since 1864! The real emergency here is the fact
that millions of people are still out of work because of COVID-19,
frontline workers don’t have the protection they need, and families are
struggling financially while facing evictions, lack of childcare, and
inability to pay their bills.

[ [link removed] ]Sign our letter calling on the Senate to focus on what the American
people really need right now: A robust COVID-relied package, not the
confirmation of an extremist Supreme Court Justice!

2. 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
1 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 just systems, there were no charges related to the murder of
Breonna Taylor. Let us repeat: None.

[ [link removed] ]Sign Now: The fight for justice for Breonna Taylor and to fix our
broken policing and criminal justice systems is not over.

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

MomsRising will be running phonebanks 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.

phonebank from the comfort of your couch, and you’ll be doing the most
effective thing you can to help protect democracy!
