In 2013, the Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, opening the door to voter suppression laws. And now, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority is poised to attack voting rights again. But Democrats in Congress have the power to SAVE voting rights before the Supreme Court acts – by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act! Please email your Senators now and urge them to pass this historic act to protect voting rights.

We’ve got bad blood with Ticketmaster after it mishandled Taylor Swift’s ticket sales – fans waited in virtual queues for up to six hours and were left with sweet nothing.

But that’s not all. Ticketmaster is also under investigation by the Department of Justice for potential violations of antitrust law (we have one word – karma).

Since Ticketmaster and Live Nation merged in 2010, they’ve acted as an unchecked monopoly and abused their power by charging outrageous service fees on ticket prices and taking little action to prevent bots from buying up tickets to resell at sky-high prices.

And Taylor Swift’s attempts to sell tickets for her Eras Tour showed Ticketmaster at its worst – while real fans were left waiting for up to six hours to get a chance at tickets, bots were able to bypass Ticketmaster’s security measures and snatch up seats, with over 100,000 tickets already posted to resale sites for exponentially higher prices.

It’s clear – Congress must use their power to investigate Ticketmaster-Live Nation and break up their monopoly for good.

Please take two minutes to email your Senators and command them to support an investigation into Ticketmaster-Live Nation.

The far-right majority on the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year, taking away abortion rights from tens of millions of Americans. Now, these conservative Justices could go even further by attacking the very pillars of our democracy – including voting rights and our federal election standards. With the current makeup of the court, our rights will constantly be under threat from this group of five conservative Justices. That’s why our Democratic Senate must take action to expand the Supreme Court and end the oppressive reign of far-right Justices.

Anti-choice Republicans are resorting to extreme measures to pass their far-right agenda, including enacting a federal abortion ban.

We need pro-choice Senators to codify abortion access into federal law NOW and protect our essential reproductive rights from anti-abortion attacks.

So please take two minutes to send an email to your Senators to demand that they codify Roe v. Wade immediately.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC in 2010, corporations have been allowed to spend unlimited and undisclosed amounts of money to influence American elections and affect policy outcomes. We all deserve an equal say in the decisions that shape our future – that’s why the Senate must pass the DISCLOSE Act to rein in corporate spending, stop Super PACs from subverting the will of the American electorate, and close dark money loopholes. Take action by calling your Senator to support the DISCLOSE Act now!

This month, the ultra-conservative Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe v. Wade – endangering not just the right to abortion, but also critical LGBTQ+ protections. We cannot stay silent while the Supreme Court debates our fundamental rights – so we’re calling on Congress to pass the Equality Act and END this outright discrimination once and for all. Please take two minutes to send an email to your Senator to let them know that passing the Equality Act should be their #1 priority!

Since Trump appointed an ultra-conservative majority of Justices to the Supreme Court, its rulings have gone directly against the will of most Americans.

Most recently, the leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade and threaten abortion access across the country has brought attention to the extreme far-right ideology that rules over the current Court.

We cannot continue to have our country’s most pressing issues decided by a group of five conservative Justices – which is why Congress must pass the Judiciary Act to increase the number of Justices from nine to thirteen, bringing balance back to the Court.

Please take two minutes to email your Senators and command them to support the Judiciary Act, for the good of our democracy.

There are currently no federal laws that explicitly protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. This can, and must, change – the U.S. Senate must act now to protect all Americans’ inalienable right to EXIST. The Equality Act, the only piece of federal legislation to explicitly affirm LGBTQ+ civil rights, can rectify and protect LGBTQ+ individuals from these attacks at the state level.

Sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Guarantee freedoms to all RIGHT NOW – pass the Equality Act.

We are in the midst of an unprecedented number of anti-LGBTQ+ measures – direct, discriminatory attacks – sweeping through state legislatures across the country. This year, more than 300 anti-LGBTQ bills are pending across state legislatures.

There are currently no federal laws that explicitly protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. This can, and must, change – the U.S. Senate must act now to protect all Americans’ inalienable right to EXIST. The Equality Act, the only piece of federal legislation to explicitly affirm LGBTQ+ civil rights, can rectify and protect LGBTQ+ individuals from these attacks at the state level.

Sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Guarantee freedoms to all RIGHT NOW – pass the Equality Act.

The ultra-conservative majority on the Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

A draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito leaked on May 2, 2022. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett reportedly all voted in agreement.

Now more than ever before, we must demand abortion justice for all: abortion must be free, accessible, and available everywhere, in every state, for everyone.

Sign the petition: I support abortion justice!

On March 24, 2022, CA Rep. Adam Schiff introduced an amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. This action comes 12 years after the Supreme Court’s ruling on Citizens United v. Federal Elec­tion Commis­sion – a ruling that reversed century-old campaign finance restric­tions and empowered corpor­a­tions and PACs to spend unlim­ited funds to influence elec­tions.
Sign the petition to Congress: Pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Clarence Thomas must be held to account for flouting the ethical rules that apply to every other judge in the country. We are calling on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees to conduct an investigation into Thomas’s ethical misconduct, and also to follow up with legislation to enforce a binding code of ethics on the justices of our Supreme Court.

President Biden and Congress are finally on the edge of taking climate action at the scale the crisis demands – creating millions of union clean energy and care jobs, racial, economic, and environmental justice are all on the line. But they won’t take action without a push from us!

Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act – also known as the Don’t Say Gay bill, which aims to ban discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom – has now passed both chambers of the Florida legislature. Now, the bill only needs Governor Ron DeSantis’s signature to become law, placing extreme restrictions on LGBTQ+ topics in education.

We cannot allow far-right Republicans to decide what our children can and cannot learn at public schools – or allow blatant homophobia and transphobia to run rampant in Florida.

So please take two minutes to email Governor DeSantis and command him to veto the Parental Rights in Education Act, for the good of our students and our country.

We are calling on U.S. banks and U.S. insurance companies to immediately end all financial services for any company that is engaged in expanding fossil fuel operations.

We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and we want to thank President Biden for halting oil and gas imports from Russia. We urge Biden to continue to resist short-sighted policies such as scaling up domestic fossil fuel production or expanding oil and gas infrastructure or financing, which would only deepen our dependence on fuels that lead to global instability and drive further devastating climate impacts.

President Biden just selected Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee to the Supreme Court – and now, the Senate must confirm her as our newest Supreme Court Justice. Email Your Senators: Confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court

Roe v. Wade is in danger of being overturned by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority. But the Women’s Health Protection Act would codify the right to an abortion into federal law, protecting Roe v. Wade’s pro-choice precedent. Join us and email your Senators: Pass the Women’s Health Protection Act and Save Abortion Access

It’s time we cancel the debt that holds women back. Join the United State of Women, Black Girls Vote, MomsRising, AAUW, Student Debt Crisis Center, Jewish Women International, Supermajority Education Fund, Young Women for US, Girls for Gender Equity, and guest speakers for a national call-in day on Thursday, February 17th at 12 PM EST. We’re calling the White House line to urge President Biden to invest in women’s futures by using executive action to cancel student loan debt before the federal student loan payment pause ends on May 1, 2022.

Right now, voting rights groups are suing to overturn Texas’ heinously gerrymandered new maps. These districts were drawn by the state’s Republican-led legislature — and if enacted, they would silence Latinx, Black, and AAPI communities and deny them the resources they need to thrive.

These maps may or may not hold up in court, but the truth is: we never should have gotten here in the first place. We know that when power-hungry politicians can hand-pick their voters, they prioritize protecting their own jobs — not communities’ needs.

If you agree that the Senate must do whatever it takes to end gerrymandering — including abolishing the anti-democracy filibuster — add your name today.
This action is sponsored by Common Cause and March On

President Biden has yet to uphold his campaign pledge to cancel $10,000 in student debt per borrower. It is a moral imperative that the administration take a broad-based approach to this issue, and work to cancel over $50,000 in student debt per borrower.

We need to end the era of fossil fuels now! With a simple call, you can demand that the Biden administration stand up to Big Oil and follow through on the promise to protect frontline communities and be a leader in the movement for climate justice.

During his 2020 campaign, President Biden made a promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court. He reiterated his pledge following Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement announcement. Now, we must hold him to it.

Declaration for American Democracy Coalition will hold a movement call with activists to thank them for their efforts to pass the Freedom to Vote: John Lewis Act.

Bringing together the power of more than 5 million followers on TikTok and grassroots youth organizers, this is a prime example of collaboration among young people, for young people, at the intersection of social media and social change,” Alicia Novoa, director of engagement for Future Coalition, a national network and community to encourage young voters, said in a statement.

More than 281,000 voters under 30 have already cast their ballots in the runoffs, rivaling the historic early turnout of young voters in Georgia at this point in the November election. It is an unusual level of enthusiasm for an age group that typically has low rates of voting — particularly in runoff elections, which historically draw much less attention than presidential races.

Future Coalition partnered with a group called Gen-Z for Change, previously known as TikTok for Biden, last week for a virtual phone and text banking event in support of Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock in Georgia. The event used Zoom breakout rooms to let volunteers virtually phone and text bank with popular TikTokers who combined had more than 5 million followers.

I work at an organization called Future Coalition, a national network of youth activists and their affiliated organizations. One of our main priorities for 2020 was getting out the vote for the general election. A key technique we used is relational organizing: utilizing personal relationships to inspire people to take action. Our personal networks hold shared values that allow us to connect on a deeper level than any strangers from a campaign can. Simply telling a friend that you’re voting can remind or convince them to vote. Relational organizing happens through the social interactions of everyday life. What better platform for relational organizing than a birthday party? In the spirit of innovation, I decided to throw an end-of-the-world-themed birthday party, complete with voter training and a textbanking session.

Katie Eder, executive director of the Future Coalition, a youth-led climate advocacy network and a member of Kerry’s bipartisan World War Zero coalition, celebrated Kerry’s appointment as “a great first step.”

March On’s Fight Back PAC announced a new fundraising campaign for 2018 called $24 for 24. Per a press release, “the campaign is centered around impeachment and the concern that the Republican Congress would not initiate impeachment proceedings no matter what Special Counsel Robert Mueller reports. The only way we can be sure any potential allegations against Donald Trump and his cronies are handled correctly is to flip the 24 Congressional seats needed to take back the majority in Congress

“Wouldn’t your friends much rather have the gift of impeachment, than, say, a new pair of socks?” March On’s executive director, Vanessa Wruble, asks, laughing. When I last spoke with Wruble, it was late December of 2016, and she was knee deep in the day-to-day frenzy of helping to pull off the monumental feat that was the Women’s March on Washington.
