đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Called Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
Please vote no on Gina Haspel as CIA Director.

Thank you note to Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA):
Thank You for your public condemnation of Sec. Carson’s plans to triple rents on poor families. I (and many Americans) share your view that we are called to care for our neighbors. Thank you for speaking up for our country’s most vulnerable. Name, State.
Address: 2021 Lakeshore Dr., Suite 309, New Orleans, LA 70122



đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Sent email to Rep. Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I am writing to ask that you call for Scott Pruitt to step down as Administrator of the EPA and join the 39 senators and 150 representatives who have already done so. l support leaders who spend taxpayer dollars responsibly and protect environmental health. Thanks.

Sent Thank You note to Reps. Mia Love (R-UT) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL): Thank you for co-sponsoring the bipartisan ASPIRE-TPS Act of 2017. It is part of the American tradition to grant longtime visitors a path to legal, permanent status. Thank you for showing your support for people receiving TPS and their families.
Address (ML): 9067 South 1300 West Suite 101, West Jordan, UT 84088
Address (IR-L): 4960 SW 72 Ave, Suite 208, Miami, FL 33155

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Email to Rep. Pete Olson:
I’m writing to oppose the proposed SNAP work requirements. You must understand how many hours of work, verification, and mandatory appointments it takes for the average hungry American to qualify for SNAP. The Farm Bill (H.R. 2) draft adds additional requirements to report work and hours. 1 in 8 Americans relies on SNAP. These changes will take food out of the mouths of children, elderly people, and people living with chronic illness. Please do not approve the Farm Bill with new hurdles for work requirements intact. SNAP should be a snap.

Thank You note to Bryan Stevenson (founder of Equal Justice Initiative):
Thank You for creating the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and its twin organization, the Legacy Museum. I support your mission to confront the racial atrocities of the past in order to create paths toward racial reconciliation. Congratulations and thank you for your important work.
Address: 122 Commerce Street, Montgomery, Alabama 36104

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Called Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
Im calling to express my deep concern about HUD Secretary Ben Carson’s plans to triple rent costs for 4.7 million of our nation’s most vulnerable families. His proposal would disproportionately affect seniors, families with children, and people with high medical expenses. I want my tax dollar to support my neighbors in need, so I am asking you to oppose Carson’s plans and stand up for our vulnerable citizens.

Sent Thank You note to Mandy Manning: 
Congratulations on the recognition of 2018 National Teacher of the Year! I was touched by your decision to share with the President letters from your immigrant and refugee students. Your dedication to your students and your message of connection over division is an inspiration to us all.
Address: ℅ Ferris High School, 3020 E. 37th Ave., Spokane, WA 99223

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

I’m calling about ICE, the only law enforcement agency with a detention quota. With ICE detention costing $134 per day per bed, people who pose no risk to the public can be monitored at much lower expense to taxpayers outside of these facilities. The bed quota enriches private prison operators without making us safer. I am requesting that you work to end this mandate that warehouses legal asylum seekers. Thank you.

Sent Thank You note to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT):
Thank you for holding Kirstjen Nielson accountable for false information linking immigrants to terrorism. In a time when voices advocating for truth are few, I appreciate your choice to press this issue. Thank you.
Address: 199 Main Street, 4th Floor, Burlington, VT 05401

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Called Rep. Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I am outraged at the inhumane practice of separating children from parents at the border—including those legally seeking asylum protection. I am asking you to do everything in their power to stop this practice that hurts children.

Sent Thank You note to Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA):
Thank for advocating for humane treatment of families immigrating to the US. What ICE is doing to parents and their young children is unacceptable, and I appreciate you pressing Kirstjen Nielson to change this policy.
Address: 10 North Post Street, Suite 600, Spokane, Washington 99201
