California Is Running Out of Water - Tell Your Reps To Act

California continues to suffer through its three driest years on record. Fueled by the climate crisis, this dry spell withers flora into kindling for massive wildfires and puts an even greater strain on depleted water supplies. The megadrought also threatens the nation’s supply - and price - of produce, as California produces nearly half of all U.S.-grown fruits, vegetables, and nuts. 

The Golden State, and its largest cities, are running out of water—and time. 

Have you been impacted by a megadrought? Want to see U.S. leaders take action? Join us and tell your reps how you feel.

BILL: Do You Support A National "Don't Say Gay" Bill?

Introduced by House Republicans, the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" would prohibit using federal funds to develop, implement, or facilitate any program, event, or media that introduces gender identity, sexual orientation, or "related subjects" to children under the age of 10. It is inspired by Florida's controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill. 

LGBTQIA+ groups, allies, and critics argue that the bill will increase homophobia and transphobia across the country, and make it even more dangerous for the community. 

Demand your reps act on the GOP's "Stop The Sexualization of Children" bill.

And, In The End...

Today is Diwali, the five-day Festival of Lights. Diwali, primarily celebrated by Hindu, Sikh, and Jain communities, has diverse traditions and various meanings, though the lighting of candles and gathering of families is common overall.
