We know Trump and GS pay less tax than regular working people, immigrants, women, and people of color who struggle to make ends meet. Let’s come together and demand that Government Sachs stops looting America!
MONTANA ACTION
Because cabinet appointments left this Republican seat open, Democrats have the chance to flip it. These races are closer than previously assumed, and with enough turnout, Dems can begin to take back the House. Read about this "Special Election Nobody Is Following [that] Could Deal A Huge Blow To Trump".
If you're in Montana, send us actions we can share next week!
SOUTH CAROLINA ACTION
This special election is skewing Republican so far, but as these elections approach they seem to be surprising everyone by looking like possible flips by the Democrats. So let's keep an eye on this one and see how we can help.
If you're in South Carolina, send us actions we can share next week!
VIRGINIA ACTION
Virginia’s 2017 elections give us our first big opportunity to reshape American politics. This is our chance to support a progressive movement in Virginia—and set the stage for fair, progressive policies across the country.
Join the Flippable #flipVAblue campaign to elect Democrats to Virginia’s House of Delegates. They’ve analyzed the data and prioritized a set of districts to focus on over the next several months. Together, we can flip these districts.
ALL STATES : RECESS TOWN HALLS
Just like nationally, many states are now in a recess period, meaning your State Senators and Assembly Reps, as well as your Senators and Congressional Reps, are home in your district now and you can visit them in person.
1. FIND A TOWN HALL near you.
2. VISIT YOUR REP in their local office.
