Because Democracy is under direct threat!

This far-right hate group helped incite the deadly January 6th insurrection – and now, they’re suing to make YOU pay them $100 million for it. You read that right: Five leaders of the Proud Boys – who were convicted by a jury of their peers after trying to overthrow our democracy – are now claiming that they are the victims and are suing the Department of Justice (DOJ). They’re hoping that Trump – who called January 6th a “day of love” – and his loyalists will hand them millions of our tax dollars to spread more chaos, more violence, and more hate. We can’t let it happen. The DOJ should spend its budget to protect us — to stop violent, organized hate groups like the Proud Boys from terrorizing our communities. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi: Fight back against this lawsuit. Don’t give the Proud Boys a single dime of taxpayer money.

Matthew Cardon was shot and killed by police in Peoria, Arizona, on June 5th, 2025. Despite repeated requests from his family and community, authorities have not released all available footage. There are conflicting statements, missing body cam footage, and unanswered questions that demand transparency. We call on local and state leaders to release all footage, open an independent investigation, and ensure this never happens again. Matthew was a son, brother, and friend.His family—and the public—deserve the truth.

We are not terrorists. We are not criminals. We are people who are suffering. We legally won the Diversity Visa Lottery, and we have the right to enjoy this opportunity just like everyone else. We are fleeing war in our country and asking for help — not to harm, but to live a better life and build a future for ourselves and our children.

When Sen. Padilla of California spoke up at a press conference with Kristi Noem, he was forcibly grabbed, pushed out of the room, wrestled to the ground, and handcuffed—all while identifying himself and peacefully doing his job. The Trump administration needs to hear from all corners of the country and elected officials from both sides of the aisle that this is intolerable. In calls to Congress and protests in the streets, we will show them that our democracy is stronger than their autocracy. The Trump administration has manufactured a crisis to justify aggressive federal action in California and even deployment of U.S. military forces on domestic soil. It's outrageous, in defiance of our rights, liberty, and safety. It is meant to terrorize immigrant communities, criminalize protest, and silence dissent. And Trump is doing all of this while trying to pass his funding bill to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for billionaire tax cuts.  The Trump administration is bringing violence to all of our cities—and this act by federal agents is an extension of that agenda. It’s clear that the administration won’t allow for any dissent, protest, or scrutiny as it carries out its reckless deportation policies. Handcuffing a sitting United States senator for simply doing his job is another escalation in the attack on all of our civil liberties. This isn’t just about one person’s rights; it’s about all of our rights.  Sen. Padilla deserves our country’s thanks—for showing up for his constituents and putting his own safety on the line. This shouldn’t be necessary, but the Trump administration has made it clear that we need all leaders—political, civic, religious, cultural, and others—doing what they can to show up for the rights and liberties of us all. Thank you, Sen. Padilla. We have your back.

When community members protested Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) raids to protect their neighbors this weekend, they were met with what The New York Times called, “an extraordinary show of force.” “Dozens of federal agents wearing helmets and green camouflage arrived in two hulking armored trucks and other unmarked vehicles, and were soon approached by a crowd of immigrant activists and supporters. Some agents carried riot shields and others held rifles, as well as shotguns that appeared to be loaded with less-than-lethal ammunition.” This is mass deportation under Trump. Now that he has deployed thousands of National Guard troops along with 700 active duty Marines to crush protests in the Los Angeles area, more violent intimidation and threats to free speech are likely. Troops and tanks don’t belong on LA’s streets, or anywhere. But the horrifying reality is that Trump’s military flex likely won’t be limited to southern California or his DC tank parade — and that’s why we’re reaching out today with an urgent call. This is no time for business as usual. Senators have a crucial role to play in securing an end to the ICE raids and Trump’s violence-first responses. The good news? They’re more likely to do it if they hear from you today.

Public schools should be safe and welcoming for all students, regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, or religious background. By forcing every public school in Texas to display the Ten Commandments, the Texas government is sending a loud and clear message to the many students who don’t practice Christianity: You don’t belong here. This is all part of a coordinated conservative playbook to take control of our schools, undermine public education, and push an extreme Christian nationalist agenda nationwide.

Service Employees International Union (SEIU) of California President David Huerta was assaulted, injured, and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He was hospitalized for a head injury sustained during his arrest, but the federal government has charged him with with conspiracy to impede an officer. David, a husband and father of two, is also a well-known and beloved community member. From organizing with Justice for Janitors to his decades of work with SEIU, Huerta has been a champion for workers in Los Angeles. In 2014, he was awarded the National Champion of Change from then-President Barack Obama for his advocacy and commitment to fighting for immigrant neighbors. And now, the Trump administration threatens to imprison him.  The Trump administration is trying to silence civil unrest and using workers like David to intimidate everyday people from exercising their fundamental rights. Add your name to show your solidarity with David and the immigrant workers across the country that he was defending.

Trump’s deployment of the military to intimidate and quell local protests—without a request from the governor—is the first incident of its kind in sixty years. And the conditions that would warrant such an intervention were simply not met. Title 10 of the U.S. Code on Armed Services—the loop hole Trump is using to justify moving forward without governor approval—has never been evoked the way Trump is leveraging it. And this violation of our right to protest is costing us—literally. Deploying the troops to L.A. will cost taxpayers around $134 million.  L.A. is ground zero for Trump to see what he can get away with when it comes to abusing the powers of the U.S. military. And make no mistake, this is the blueprint he will use for other cities and states across the country.  Militarized presence does not quell social unrest—it ramps it up. Our federal government should be following the lead of state and local governments, not bulldozing over individual and state rights to silence dissent and exert control.  Add your name to the petition to urge governors to fight back against Trump’s militarized power grabs!

When it comes to the bird flu, RFK Jr.’s unfounded claims are once again causing experts to sound the alarm. He has carelessly suggested that farmers should allow bird flu to run unchecked, a plan that scientists are calling “inhumane and dangerous.” The bird flu has already devastated the commercial poultry industry after 173 million birds were culled—causing the price of eggs to skyrocket. And while the 70 people infected have been mostly farm workers, the virus continues to spread aggressively among cattle herds and poultry flock, raising concern about how it will mutate and become more infectious between humans.  Once again, the Trump administration is putting debunked science ahead of public health. The Trump administration must prioritize public health and safety by fully funding vaccine research, including for the bird flu. Add your name now >>
