[ [link removed] ]5 Actions
Dear Friend,
Happy Friday. We're sharing this week's roundup of top 5 Actions below,
featuring timely and important calls-to-action around immigration, taxes,
gun safety, and more. Scroll down for an exciting photo of our team at the
debate in Houston last night, too! As always, sharing this list with
family and friends doubles your impact. Fact: Together we are powerful.
Here's the list =>

BACKGROUND: Our nation’s budgets are supposed to reflect our values and
priorities, and we don’t want another dime of our tax dollars going
towards a detention center that jails immigrant children or the
construction of a harmful wall! The U.S. Congress must reign in ICE and
Customs and Border Patrol and put an end to President Trump's hateful
immigration policies now and they have the power of the purse to do
so. ***[ [link removed] ]SIGN OUR LETTER NOW calling on the U.S. Congress to prioritize
what our families really need—nutrition, healthcare, education, and
disaster assistance programs—in budget negotiations and reject funding for
family separation and Trump’s hateful immigration policies.

3. Demand Gun Control! Tell Congress to stand against the influence of
white supremacy and the NRA
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: We are calling on Congress to stand against the influence of
white supremacy and the NRA, and finally take on comprehensive gun policy
reform! They need to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines,
disarm hate, pass universal background checks, support extreme-risk
protection orders, and more. IT'S TRUE: The Second Amendment was in part
originally added to the U.S. Constitution to appease southern colonies
that feared the “tyranny” of a federal government that could expropriate
the armed militias they needed in order to control people who were
enslaved. And the National Rifle Association has a well-documented record
of employing racist and xenophobic rhetoric and tactics that directly
draws on the United States’ shameful history of slavery and racism. White
supremacy has been at the root of inaction on gun violence. [ [link removed] ]Speak out

4. Speak Out: Babies Need to be with their Moms!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Every working and breastfeeding mother should be able to
experience that feeling of anticipation as they wrap up a hard day’s work
and return to their loved ones. No one should carry the uncertainty of not
knowing when they’ll see their children again. And yet, mothers like Maria
Domingo-Garcia and others that have been separated by ICE from their
children while they are still breastfeeding have had that taken away. We
know that separating and incarcerating children and families causes
tragic, long-term consequences to the health and well-being of children
and their families. In spite of that knowledge, the Trump administration
continues to push policies that do just that. We demand that the Trump
Administration and Congress protect immigrant children and families.

5. Tell Your U.S. Representative to Cosponsor the Assault Weapons Ban
2019!
Your Action Status: NOT YET TOLD YOUR
REPRESENTATIVE -> [ [link removed] ]Tell Your Representative
BACKGROUND: Military-style assault rifles and high-capacity magazines are
weapons of war, pure and simple. And, as the recent shootings in Gilroy,
El Paso, Dayton, and Odessa again demonstrated, they are the weapons of
choice for mass shooters. More than anything, it has been assault weapons
and high-capacity magazines that enable the horrific levels of violence.
Exercise your power as a constituent and tell your member of Congress to
cosponsor the Assault Weapons Ban 2019! The more cosponsors the House bill
has, the closer it gets to a vote to move it forward in the legislative
process and into law! [ [link removed] ]Add your name!
