Celeste kicks off this week with a dive into the SCOTUS decision regarding responsibilities of the lower courts.  We're focused on saying no to our elected officials this week surrounding issues of medicaid, SNAP programs and the candidate for US Surgeon General.

Warm up your fingers there is lots of dialing to do!

Topping the list are actions to call Congress about RFK Jr in advance of an HHS hearing on May 14th.  Kidnapping of migrants is also big on our action list this week and warrants a call to your governor this time. We also look at pending legislation involving authority of the courts.  Our communications are working.  Thanks for joining arms and building pressure.  Reach your Member of Congress via the Capitol switchboard: 202.224 3121

We share great news about the past week's successes in resistance, NOT least of which is that our communications delivered to elected leaders is working. Also, we take a close look at what Project 2025 means for American women. Finally, we encourage you to call the House (202-224-3121) and the Senate (202-225-3121) with your thoughts on Republican goals or get active with a pro-democracy organization. We owe it to all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedoms thus far. We can do hard things!

We’ve got some good news, and we have some downright disturbing news. News that needs your attention and action! From the illegal deportations of children (who are US citizens) to an attack on Head Start, to calls that need to be made to the brave and calls to demand some leadership step aside. It’s your chance to get involved and save our democracy! Let’s join arms.
