This is a power grab, not a bill about public safety.

Why would we trust this Republican Party to keep Americans safe, after all they've done to erode the public safety net and terrorize our cities?

This a must vote NO bill!

We need Democrats to hold the line in the House. Many have stood up for DC on other bills, but plenty have also fallen short.

If this is your member, tell them to vote NO!

This is a preview of what's coming this winter when Trump reveals his "crime bill" for the midterms.

That bill is dangerous and destructive, and will not only drive up the number of people in prison, but give Trump more federal power.

The coming Trump “crime bill” is dangerous and wrong, but we can fight it and win
If we organize Democrats now, we can have a real fight about the best way to keep Americans safe, and reject a bill that will expand Trump's power to prosecute his opponents.

This is one of many anti-democratic bills where House Republicans, at the behest of Stephen Miller, are going after DC's autonomy.

We need to stand up for the people of DC - like these 180 organizations have.

This will make DC less safe. Places with cash bill have worse records on safety & recidivism.

Look at DC itself! It is a far safer place than it was in 1992, when it passed its bail reforms.

Studies have shown the same results across the country:

Bail Reform and Public Safety
Data from 33 cities across the country discredits the claim that bail reform causes crime to increase.

Hundreds, soon to be thousands of such data centers are going to be built across the country. Some states will be oversaturated, but no state will be spared.

If this concerns you, get involved!

Massive data centers being built before we even know the tenant, so companies can avoid accountability early in the project.

Wyoming residents should be concerned about this driving up their utility bills.

A must-read about how Elon Musk's new data center(s), powered by dozens of gas turbines are polluting Memphis.

Unsurprisingly, he is forging ahead despite widespread community opposition.

At Dream.Org we're proud to stand behind the local grassroots orgs taking him on.

Laura Sword, our chair, has stated that the county is behind Zohran. We won't have a formal opportunity to vote until September, but the meeting at which she announced it was met with overwhelming consensus.

No, instead she smeared the Democratic nominee with Islamophobic accusations.
