Seven mass shootings in seven days. This is a uniquely American problem, and the solutions are clear.

It has been 27 years since Congress passed meaningful gun safety legislation, and thousands of people have died as a result of this gross inaction. But a few weeks ago, House Democrats passed two common sense and popular gun safety bills…and now they move to the Senate.

Add your name to demand the Senate pass universal background checks and expanded waiting periods on gun purchases! 

An improved background check system might have prevented several recent mass shootings. One study found that 1-in-10 online gun purchases were made by individuals who would have been otherwise prevented by background checks due to rape, domestic violence, and other charges. 

An enforced ten-day waiting period could cool dangerous impulses and give time for family and community to become aware of mass shooting plans – and help prevent them.

We must address the epidemic of bloodshed in our country, and these changes are a popular and common sense step in the right direction.

Sign here to demand the Senate support and pass common sense gun safety laws, like universal background checks and expanded waiting periods on purchases!

We are nearing the twelve-month mark of our worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Millions of people have lost their jobs, and food and housing access. And the pandemic is more bleak than ever before, half a million Americans dead and rising.

Although Congress is about to issue a third stimulus check, the grand total of this support does not come close to covering a year of basic needs for struggling families. 

But recurring monthly checks would.

Add your name to demand Congress and President Biden pass recurring monthly cash assistance for struggling families until the end of the pandemic!

At least eight million people have fallen into poverty since this pandemic started – and with the vaccine half-a-year away, that number will continue to grow. These numbers disproportionately include Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities – and many people of color are frontline workers but do not have access to unemployment insurance.

The economic toll of this pandemic could take generations to overcome – but it doesn’t have to if Congress and President Biden recognize the most effective way to keep families safe, fed, and housed.

Moments after voting “not-guilty” on the charges to disgraced ex-President Trump for undermining our elections and inciting a deadly coup, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stated publicly that Trump was 100% to blame.

McConnell then went on to clarify that his “not-guilty” vote was merely because Trump was no longer in office…after it was singularly thanks to McConnell’s scheming that the trial was delayed until after Trump left office.

Republican hypocrisy at its finest.

Add your name to demand the Senate censures Mitch McConnell for making a public mockery of the impeachment trial.

Trump’s disregard for democracy and penchant for dictatorship is monumentally dangerous to this country’s future. And so is McConnell’s – by sending the crystal clear message that he will not punish Trump (or any other future tyrant) in the face of undeniable guilt.

McConnell had a chance to lead his party into a post-Trump future, once-and-for-all separating the GOP from the violent Trump-era. Instead, McConnell has paved the way for the sequel.

Sign here to demand Mitch McConnell is censured for publicly undermining the main tool Congress has to remove a dictator from the presidency.

One of President Biden’s first actions upon taking office was establishing a 100-day deportation moratorium, temporarily halting the anti-immigrant mechanism that Trump so gleefully built his presidency upon. And although a Texas judge temporarily blocked the executive order, the judge still stated that only the most serious deportation cases should be allowed to continue (like, convicted felons).

At which point Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) went completely rogue and deported at least 72 people, including a two-month-old baby and 21 other completely innocent children to Haiti, which is currently in political turmoil and incredibly dangerous.

Add your name to demand every ICE officer that ordered or contributed sending 22 children into an active uprising – despite a deportation moratorium – is FIRED.

ICE has no interest in stopping deportations. They have been empowered and emboldened by Trump, who granted ICE powers to use pandemic “health protections” as an excuse to continue sending migrants and asylum seekers into inhumane conditions. It is not in their best interests to be led by a president who wants to slow them down.

Which is why public outcry on this inexcusable act of inhumanity must be overwhelming.

Washington, D.C. has a population of approximately 700,000 people, giving the capital city a higher headcount than both Vermont and Wyoming. But unlike the residents of Vermont and Wyoming, who each have two Senators and one Representative in Congress, residents of D.C. have no voice at the federal level.

What’s more, D.C. is a plurality-Black city, meaning there’s a higher percentage (about 45%) of Black residents than any other race, making statehood a major civil rights issue. 

Black votes matter. Sign here to demand Congress passes H.R.51 / S.51, granting statehood to Washington, D.C. 

Republicans aren’t even denying the political games behind their opposition. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is on the record stating he doesn’t want D.C. (or Puerto Rico) to ever reach statehood simply because he doesn’t want more Democrats in Congress. It’s classic GOP voter suppression to silence voters of color.

Statehood for D.C. would give Congressional voice to hundreds of thousands of BIPOCs who deserve it every bit as much as any other American. The time to enfranchise the people of D.C. is NOW.

Add your name to tell Congress that granting statehood for Washington, D.C. is a major civil rights issue – pass H.R.51 / S.51!

President Biden and Congress are considering a $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill. But the GOP and a few moderate Democrats are trying to weaken it, and may succeed if the party doesn’t hold firm!

For example: stimulus checks. A growing movement to lower the income cap from $75,000 to $50,000 would cut millions of struggling Americans off from a $1,400 stimulus check…including those who live in major cities where a $52,000 salary barely covers expenses and the impact of the pandemic has been severe (including many teachers and nurses).

Add your name to demand Democrats stand unified and back the strongest version of Biden’s COVID relief package – do not weaken it!

And set aside moderate Democrats for a moment, because Republicans want to cut Biden’s package down to a third of its original size… The height of a global pandemic is not the time for the GOP to hide behind so-called budget cuts, particularly after they fully supported Trump’s Tax Scam giveaway to millionaires and billionaires.

Struggling Americans need support NOW.

Sign here to demand Democrats pass Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief bill…and nothing less.
