Add your name to protect healthcare, children and transit

John, Democrats have a few weeks to do everything they can to protect Medicaid coverage, pass the Child Tax Credit, and allocate billions of dollars for infrastructure. Each of these programs would go a long way in easing some unnecessary pain, suffering, and hardship people …

DFA's Five Days of Democracy

Sick of one debt ceiling crisis after another?

John, Republicans have continuously used raising the debt ceiling as an opportunity to threaten and extort concessions from Democrats. It’s selfish, irresponsible, and very dangerous. Fortunately, there is a simple way to end their hostage-taking tactics once and for all: W…

Can you sign on to push him to extend the student loan repayments until cancellation is awarded?

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from becoming President

John, January 6th was not a rally that got out of control. It was not a protest that turned violent unexpectedly. Trump gathered people to come to the Capitol with the expressed goal to stop the certification and overturn the election. His supporters had zip ties, semi-automa…

Trump is running and we must be prepared to stop him

Hate speech is flourishing under Elon Musk’s Twitter
