Issue of the week: 

Trump’s racism wasn’t satisfied by signing a compromise government funding bill that increases funds for immigration officers and jailing immigrants so he descended further into authoritarianism and declared a national emergency to get his wall. 

The wall is a medieval monument to racism, a penance for Trump’s ego and base. Declaring a state of emergency over the wall abandons the rule of law and marches us into authoritarianism.  

Congress must stand up as a co-equal branch of government.  They must revoke Trump’s declaration of an emergency using the National Emergencies Act.

This week: 

This week, February 1st – 8th, is Gun Violence Survivor Week.
Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action are marking this week by sharing survivors’ stories, in their own words, in a campaign they’re calling #MomentsThatSurvive.

On Wednesday, February 6, the US House of Representatives will hold its first hearing on gun violence in eight years. The Judiciary Committee will hear testimony on HR8, the “Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019,” which will expand background checks to ALL gun purchases – covering gun shows, online sales and other private sales.

Tell your Representative to support HR8.

This week, we revisit family separations, review why we call our reps, and ramp up for the state legislative session with guest Kalpana Krishnamurthi from Forward Together.

Family Separations:

A government report issued Thursday by the Inspector General of the Dept of Health & Human Services said the Trump administration probably separated thousands more migrant children from their parents at the U.S. border than has previously been made public, but federal efforts to track those children have been so poor that the precise number is unknown. 

Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley revealed a previously secret document that shows the Trump Administration deliberately plotting to create a crisis at the southern border.

Merkley is now calling for the FBI to investigate DHS Secretary Kjirsten Nielsen for lying to Congress about the administration’s family separation plan.
