UPDATE: Cops are continuing to be brought in to stop Starbucks workers and allies demanding the company settle fair contracts with workers.
Now, those participating in actions in Chicago are being arrested and led away by police. Shame on Starbucks!

At 4 p.m. today, the House will be holding a floor vote on a Defense budget that would withhold health care from military families with transgender youth. If passed, it would be the first new anti-LGBTQ restriction to pass through Congress since the 1990s. Please tell your rep to vote against it.

Based on the reporting from @erininthemorning.com, the rules vote passed and this will likely pass the simple majority required.
There is a slim chance the vote tomorrow surprises us. Keep sending letters, but there’s a strong chance this becomes law tomorrow and we should prepare for that
