Send this to your congress critter. Ask them why they’re allowing YOUR money to pay for inflicting this suffering on families.
Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

There was an enormous walk in Washington DC today against ICE and the Trump administration, but you didn’t hear about it from the news, did you?

During Facelift, volunteers collect trash, restore trails, and protect habitat across Yosemite Valley. We hope you’ll be able to join in this week!

If you’re able to attend the Yosemite Climbing Association’s Facelift event this week, we’ll donate $10 per person who comments that they’re attending. Facelift is the largest annual volunteer clean-up in any national park!

What happened to Democracy?
Trump: "If you [end] mail in voting, you're not gonna have many Democrats get elected. That's bigger than anything having to do with redistricting. And the Republicans have to get smart."
