Stop the purge of federal employees

I am writing to express my deep concern over the reckless and unconstitutional purge of federal agencies under Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s direction. The mass removal of federal employees is not a responsible way to reform government—it is chaotic, short-sighted, and deeply damaging to our nation.

Map PinAstoria, NY

All the court orders in the world don’t amount to a hill of beans if the Trump administration persists in ignoring them. The unhinged nature of his executive orders, and his conduct, lay bare the necessity of removing Trump from office using the 25th Amendment. You’re in a better position than I

Protect SNAP and Medicaid; Schedule a Town Hall

I am upset about House Republicans’ proposed cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Grocery prices and hunger are increasing in the country. Cutting the program that helps over 42 million people put food on the table is unacceptable. Same with Medicaid. 72 million Americans rely on it for healthcare—mostly c

Hold the line on climate progress

Please oppose efforts to obstruct, repeal, or reduce funding for the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest climate investment in U.S. history. In 2024, the U.S. suffered 24 weather and climate disasters, each causing more than $1 billion in damage. In the face of the escalating financial and human

You should investigate the dismissal of Colleen Shogan, the head of the National Archives, a nonpartisan and nonpolitical public office. The regulations establishing the National Archives require the president to tell both houses of Congress the reasons for firing the Archivist, but no cause or re

Restore TPS for Venezuelans

I support renewing Temporary Protected Status for people from Venezuela. The recent revocation of TPS for Venezuelans leaves over 300,000 people at risk of deportation, an action that would return them to one of the most oppressive regimes worldwide. I’m asking you to urge the president to undo

Defend Medicaid Funding

I'm alarmed by the House Republicans' budget proposals, which add $110 billion for deportation and give us a trillion-dollar defense budget while proposing $880 billion in cuts over the next decade—primarily targeting Medicaid—and $230 billion from food stamps. These draconian cuts will fund massiv

Oppose the SAVE Act

I'm asking you to oppose H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, which would enact broad purges of voter rolls and force voters to prove their citizenship when registering. Many voters lack the required documentation, and getting a passport or certified birth certificate is expensive and time-consuming. I hope I

Oppose federal funding to expand immigration detention

Stand Up, Fight Back
