We're Telling Them "Hands Off!"

Happy Tuesday, Activists! 

We hope you had a great weekend.  This Saturday we rally and march to tell the nation that we want the Trump and the DOGE crew to take their Hands Off! our democracy, our services, our agencies, our voting rights.  Over 1,000 rallies are planned for this Saturday across the country! 

It is profoundly powerful that we are seeing so many people out in the streets showing publicly that we will not stand by and watch as our our country and democracy are dismantled and literally sold off for parts by billionaires.

So tell your friends and other like-minded people about this Saturday's rally and march.  Show we are not sitting idly by watching them dismantle our democracy and infrastructure that we have worked for decades to build into the country we demand.

HANDS OFF!

CALL TO ACTION

This week, we expect the House to vote on H.R. 22 -- one of the biggest threats to voting rights we’ve seen in a generation. You may know this bill as the “SAVE Act” but we are calling it by a more accurate title -- the “Silencing Americans Act.” The bill requires voters to show proof of citizenship documents that match their current legal name -- something tens of millions of Americans simply don’t have.

In addition to requiring documents many don't have, the bill would also require showing this proof in person, so it would eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. This bill wouldn’t improve election security -- it would just make it significantly harder for everyday Americans to vote.

It would also cause massive challenges for married women and trans and nonbinary people who’ve changed their names, and disproportionately impact people of color. 

Indivisible has more on this bill and Trump’s related Executive Order. 

Call your House Member and tell them to block Republicans from disenfranchising millions of voters with this horrible bill.

LEAFLET PHILLY!

Are you looking for a fun, easy way to increase voter engagement across Philadelphia (and maybe burn off some of that anxiety we are all feeling)? We've got the project for you — and we are so excited about it!  Every month we'll be leafleting Philadelphia — with the goal of every home, all across the city.Here's how it works.  Each month we will design a door hanger with a simple, timely and compelling message for our neighbors. The door hangers will link Republicans to the chaos and misery they create and show Philadelphians how they can take action — with the ultimate goal of increasing voter turnout over the next four years!  Sign up here.You are the key to this project's success.  The more volunteer leaflet distributors we have, the more neighbors we can reach.  You'll get 100 door hangers to simply hang on every door up and down the block.  It’s quick and easy — no knocking, no lists, just leave the leaflet on the door and stroll on to the next one! You pick the day that’s most convenient for you and repeat a month later.
