Protect Women’s Voting Rights

Protect Free Speech While Safeguarding Children Online

I urge you to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) in its current form.

Stop Political Surveillance in Michigan

ICE must be stopped!

We have learned of yet another American citizen being murdered by ICE. It’s outrageous! ICE is a murderous agency that is completely out of control. They need to be abolished and replaced, but until then I expect Congress to codify all of the demands on Democrats’ list, and that’s at the bare minimu
