Today’s Action: Flip Pennsylvania!
After 45 days of breaking up families at the border and denying he could do anything about it, President Trump finally ended his cruel practice. Trump’s zero tolerance policy of prosecuting and incarcerating asylum seekers and abuse victims will continue however, and there is no plan to reunite children with the parents they have been taken from. Find out how you can support the families who have been victimized by Trump’s vicious inhumanity here.

Today’s Action: Flip Pennsylvania!
Pennsylvania has been in the spotlight recently, thanks to the extreme GOP gerrymandering across the state. But earlier this year, Democrats (and democracy in general) scored a huge victory when a state court finally saw reason and ordered a fairer districts. After being in the grip of oppressive and discriminatory lines for years, Pennsylvanians will hopefully soon see more accurate representation in Congress.
But that victory will be short lived if Republicans retain control of the state legislature, and that’s why Flippable is organizing efforts to flip Pennsylvania between now and November 6th.
Pennsylvania’s Democratic candidates at both the state and federal level are awesome! Helen Tai is a business leader and environmentalist who is fighting for the ACA and Planned Parenthood. Tina Davis is an experienced public servant with a strong voice for labor unions, equal pay, and funding for education. And Maria Collett is both a lawyer and a nurse who has spent her career working with children who have suffered from abuse and neglect.
Pennsylvania Democrats are ready to support these candidates, but many will need a nudge. Flippable provides phone numbers and a simple, friendly script for calling fellow progressives. You provide the phone, an internet connection, and a few minutes of your time…and then you win for everyone by flipping Pennsylvania blue.
Sign up for a phone bank time slot with Flippable and work from the comfort of your own home! Encourage Pennsylvania Democrats to register to vote and volunteer for their local progressive candidates. Pennsylvania went for Trump in 2016 but for Obama twice. Let’s make sure this isn’t a trend but very bad blip.
