GET ICE OUT OF CALIFORNIA I am writing from D6 in San Francisco. I am horrified by the hyper militarization of our police, ICE and masked bounty hunters that are terrorizing our communities. ICE has NO business in our sanctuary city. HAS NO BUSINESS staking out and kidnapping folks from our immigra

Please protect CA with a special legislative session

Please call a special session to focus on enacting laws that will protect against Trump's policies. Prioritize protective measures for civil liberties, public health, and environmental regulations. Urge lawmakers to proactively safeguard these rights before more of Trump's policies take effect.

Fund NOAA and FEMA!

We need to restore full funding to the NOAA and FEMA. I’m particularly worried about the cuts to the Nation Weather Service. At a time of extreme weather events their being understaffed is certain to lead to more tragedies like the ones we just saw in Texas. The federal government’s job is to protec

Demand Intervention in the Detention of Hilary Rivers

I’m writing as a constituent and concerned citizen regarding the disturbing detention of Hilary Rivers, a beloved drag performer and LGBTQ+ asylum seeker who was arrested by ICE immediately after attending a legal hearing in San Francisco on June 26, 2025. Hilary (they/them in drag) is not a threat

Safeguard PBS's vital mission and public educational resources

The recent efforts to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS are short-sighted and misguided. PBS serves as an invaluable resource, especially for rural communities where it may be the only accessible channel. It provides crucial programming like children's education,

Please fund HUD

Our country is experiencing the worst housing emergency since at least the great depression. From big cities to small towns and rural communities, families are struggling to pay their rent or mortgage, and far too many are living on the brink of eviction. Millions of Americans are homeless, living o

Enough silence. If America abandons the fight against Iran’s brutal regime, it becomes an accomplice. Every lash, every hanging, every lie from “reformists” becomes America’s shame too. No middle ground: stand with the Iranian people—or stand with their oppressors. History will remember.

To recap what happened last week..

YOU voted to gut Medicaid, shut down rural hospitals, and hand out massive tax breaks to the wealthy, all while raising costs for everyday Missourians. YOU sold us out and punched down on working families to prop up the powerful. For millionaires, the budget is a payday. For those of us wh

Investigate and refuse DOJ’s denaturalization proceedings

Today I write to ask you to investigate or otherwise stop the DOJ’s attempts to use denaturalization proceedings against Americans. The recent push to “denaturalize” already-naturalized citizens is a terrifying development in the anti-immigrant, anti-nonwhite plans formulated by Stephen Miller and t

Hold SSA accountable for partisan email & send corrections in your newsletter

Last week the Social Security Administration sent a political/partisan email to users celebrating the Republican budget reconciliation’s passage and making false claims about how it would help beneficiaries. Please perform oversight to hold SSA accountable, but also correct the record using your own

I’m writing with deep concern over the U.S. government’s role in deporting dozens of migrants—many without charges or proper hearings—to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, a facility known for documented human rights abuses. Recent reporting from the Associated Press and other outlets reveals that over 10

161 people still missing after the Texas floods. This is unconscionable. When the GOP doubled down on “we’re all gonna die” I bet they weren’t thinking about something like this.

From a constituent in Atlanta, GA

I’m a constituent from Atlanta. I'm writing to urge you to act to secure the immediate release of the billions in K-12 school funding currently held hostage by the Education Department. Congress has already approved these federal funds, and blocking their disbursement is both unconstitutional and

I’m absolutely appalled by the military assault on a park in LA where absolutely nothing illegal was happening. You are supposed to be protecting America not fighting it. Get out of LA!

Prioritize disaster preparedness, climate action to protect communities

The people of Texas are suffering immensely from the devastating floods that have claimed over 100 lives, including many children. Instead of offering empty platitudes or simply praying, substantive action is needed from Congress to address the underlying issues that exacerbated this tragedy. The cu

Please support SB 332. We need responsible, accountable utilities owned and controlled by the public. Our investor owned utilities are not responsible stewards of our public safety or our environment and shortchange public safety for profits.

From a verified voter in Forest Knolls, CA

Thanks to Senator Padilla for introducing the “visible act” to require ICE agents to have identification that clearly identifies their agency and their name or badge number. The horror of being snatched by a masked man not knowing if they are an official of the government or a criminal is unconscion
