We, the undersigned, call on our elected officials to act with urgency, courage, and moral clarity on the following critical issues that affect both local communities and the global stage: 🟥 Divest from Israel’s Apartheid and Occupation Our taxpayer dollars should not fund the ongoing ethnic cleansing and destruction of Gaza, nor the systemic oppression of Palestinians. U.S. support for the Israeli government—including military aid, weapons contracts, and diplomatic protection—makes us complicit in war crimes and human rights violations. We demand full divestment, a halt to all arms transfers, and accountability through international legal mechanisms. No more blank checks for apartheid. 💸 Address the Cost-of-Living Crisis Americans are being crushed under the weight of rising prices, stagnant wages, and economic instability. Rent is unaffordable. Groceries have become luxury items. Medical bills are bankrupting families. This is not a supply chain problem—it’s policy failure. We need: • Universal healthcare as a human right. • Rent caps and stronger tenant protections. • Food system reform and corporate accountability for price gouging. • A living wage that reflects real economic conditions. 🏥 Guarantee Healthcare for All Healthcare in the U.S. is broken by design. Insurance companies and pharmaceutical giants profit while millions go without care. The system is failing seniors, disabled people, working families, and low-income communities. We demand Medicare for All and a decoupling of healthcare access from employment. 🌍 Act on Climate, Not Corporate Interests This administration’s environmental decisions are endangering our planet. From rolling back climate regulations to propping up fossil fuel expansion, our leaders are choosing corporate profit over collective survival. We demand: • A just transition to renewable energy. • Binding climate legislation with enforcement mechanisms. • An end to fossil fuel subsidies and extraction permits on public land. • Investment in climate-resilient infrastructure for marginalized communities. 🏳️‍🌈 Defend LGBTQIA+ Rights The coordinated attack on LGBTQIA+ Americans—especially trans youth—is an assault on civil rights and basic human dignity. Across the country, lawmakers are introducing bills that ban books, criminalize gender-affirming care, and erase queer existence from public life. We demand: • Immediate passage of the Equality Act. • Federal protections against discrimination in education, healthcare, and employment. • Active resistance to state-sanctioned bigotry and censorship. ⸻ This moment calls for moral leadership—not political calculation. The status quo is unsustainable, unjust, and actively harmful. We demand that you act in the interest of the people—not corporations, not foreign governments, and not hate-driven ideologues. We are watching. We are organizing. And we will remember who stood up—and who stayed silent.
