Groceries, clothes, furniture – everything is getting more expensive again. And there’s a big reason why. President Trump just reignited a trade war by slapping sweeping new tariffs on goods we rely on every day. That means higher prices at the store, more pressure on working families, and more uncertainty for small businesses already struggling to stay afloat. Whatever you think about tariffs – this isn’t something we can leave up to any one person. Our elected representatives in Congress have the power and responsibility to weigh in. They can’t just sit on their hands while Trump makes decisions that raise prices for millions of Americans. Join us to tell our members of Congress to do their jobs and put Trump’s tariffs up for a vote >>

The STOCK Act of 2012 requires members of Congress to disclose financial transactions and makes insider trading illegal. Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego, joined by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been loudly vocal about the need for an investigation into potential violations of federal ethics rules following Trump’s tariff flip-flopping.  The people we elect should be acting in the best interest of the American people—not playing reckless and careless games with the stock market in order to line their own pockets and enrich themselves.  Constituents deserve transparency and accountability. Sign the petition to say NO to unethical insider trading and demand an immediate investigation! 

Troubling reports reveal a Trump administration push to propel a failed war on drugs into a reckless, devastating war in Mexico. Make no mistake: This is how dangerous ideas turn into deadly policies. How do we know? Earlier this year our sister organization, the Win Without War Education Fund, brought a team of former defense, diplomatic, trade, labor, and civil society experts, among others from the United States and Mexico to Capitol Hill to run a tabletop exercise to find out exactly what the outcome of U.S. strikes on cartels in Mexico would be. The result? Chaos, violence, and harm. Even a “limited” U.S. strike would trigger events ranging from a trade war, mass displacement, a crackdown on civil liberties, and a rupture in diplomatic relations. One thing had not changed: The amount of synthetic drugs crossing the southern border. Trump’s moves won’t halt the drug trade or help families struggling amidst a fentanyl crisis but they will increase violence and displacement within Mexico and ruin the critical, mutually-beneficial cross-border relationship. Luckily, Representative Joaquin Castro has introduced a resolution to oppose this deadly policy drift by affirming Mexico’s sovereignty. Congress must act swiftly to pass it and pull us off this misguided path to war. We’re organizing people across the country to join us in telling every member of Congress to cosponsor and pass the resolution immediately. Will you speak out now?

The RMP combats food insecurity. Guam is not immune to the challenges of hunger. Implementing the RMP ensures equitable access to nutrition for individuals who may not have the means or facilities to cook their own meals. The RMP empowers local businesses. The program provides an economic boost to participating restaurants, creating new opportunities for growth and community engagement. The RMP supports vulnerable populations. The elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those experiencing homelessness often face unique challenges in accessing food. The RMP offers dignity and choice in meeting their nutritional needs. We believe that passing Bill No. 78-38 (COR) is not only a compassionate and inclusive decision but also a pragmatic step toward fostering a healthier and more equitable Guam. We urge I Liheslaturan Guåhan to take immediate action and make the Restaurant Meals Program a reality on our island.

At the end of the day, this is about us and what we need, not Trump’s obsession with trade wars against international partners.  If Trump and his administration were actually concerned with generating revenue for the government, they would focus on ending tax breaks for billionaires, not tearing apart government agencies and raising costs on goods for everyday Americans. Simply put: We will all pay more for everything, from gas, to groceries, to cars and electricity. While billionaires will continue to get their tax breaks and incentives that the Trump administration provide by stealing from the rest of us.  Trump claims he’s “rescuing the economy”, but his tariffs are just going to drive up costs for everyday Americans, costing the average family thousands of dollars. This is a complete betrayal of working and middle-class families everywhere in the United States.   Image Source: Daybreak/Getty Images

Recess is a time for members of Congress to return to their home states. They should be using this week to meet with their constituents, give space for their concerns, and take that back to D.C. Instead, House Republican leaders are now reportedly telling their offices to avoid holding public events when they are home for March recess. Tim Burchett had scheduled a town hall for March 16, but canceled it citing concerns about "professional instigators" (The Hill). This is the opposite of the directions Democrats are receiving—with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries encouraging all members to connect directly with constituents to talk about the Republican-backed attacks on key services like Social Security and Medicaid embodied by Elon Musk's actions and the Republican budget.  Tim Burchett was elected to represent us—he should not be hiding from his constituents. Period.  Add your name to the petition to demand that Tim Burchett host a town hall or public office hours during the congressional recess! 

Town halls are ways for constituents to provide feedback directly to their elected officials to make sure that their concerns and expectations are heard.  When Republicans returned to their districts in February, they were met with the full force of their constituents’ frustrations. They should be taking in that feedback and returning to D.C. to do their job addressing the needs, concerns, and demands of the people they were elected to represent. But instead, they're planning on hiding from their constituents in the upcoming recess, while they continue to ram through Trump and Musk’s wildly unpopular and disastrous plans, slashing services and funding that everyday people need, and giving tax breaks to their billionaire friends. Not on our watch.  We need to remind members of Congress who they answer to.  Not Trump.  Not Musk.  Not just a few billionaires.  Earlier this month more than 75+ MoveOn members from Iowa District 1 urged local representatives to host town halls. But we have to keep up the pressure. Sign the petition to make it clear to Congress that come recess, we expect them to host town halls and office hours, because they answer to the people.

Nevada citizens want to know where their money went. We demand to know. Sign now to demand that there is an internal investigation into where the money went and why it was given to Uprise before any work was completed. 

While republicans may be receiving "marching orders" to avoid town halls, it is up to us, the people, to demand them and to ensure members of congress who support the current administration answer to their actions and the impact it will have on individuals and community alike.

Privatizing Social Security will kill the guaranteed returns and only benefits corporations. Slashing staffing without planning ensures a debacle of epic proportions, risking the reliability of monthly checks most recipients rely upon. If you touch SS, you will literally kill some Americans and throw undue hardship on others.  You also will owe each of us what we have paid in for the program, plus accrued interest—large sums of money that you would have to pay out. Or you will have a class action suit with tens of millions of people on our side.

We must shine a light on these bullying and strong-arm tactics and demand change. Our hospital, schools, transit and local attractions should be considered priorities by the Restaino administration. The fact that employees from these entities are afraid of retribution if they speak to the press, speaks volumes as to how Mayor Restaino conducts business.  WHY withhold funds from our schools in a time of economic crisis? WHY withhold funds from the only hospital located in our city? WHY withhold funds from the Underground Railroad Museum, which attracts thousands of tourists every year? The train station is already operating at a $130,000 annual deficit because the city has failed to properly utilize event space adjacent to the museum. WHY withhold funds from the NFTA when many of us rely on public transportation to get from home to work and back? Mayor Restaino's actions only make sense when viewed through the eyes of a greedy miser.
