You could change everything by sharing Cary's story. You may inspire someone into action.
Call lawmakers no matter what party. You could change their mind or inspire them to act.
Talk to your friends about it. I bet they hadn't heard about her.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Democrats there, hearing that Donald Trump has hit a historic peak of being hated by the nation, and feeling a twinge of competitive instinct for the first time in years. "Hey," they wailed. "We can suck too."

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

The government has been shut down for 40 days—the longest in history. All Democrats have fought hard for extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits that make health care affordable for millions. I’m voting against the bill given it doesn’t extend these valuable tax credits.

I am relieved that both Arizona Senators, @gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, have both announced that they will vote NO on the CR, which “promises” a vote on ACA subsidies “at some time in the future”.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.
