Action 1: The Senate must pass the REPO Implementation Act

From Jessica Craven at Chop Wood Carry Water 10/27

The REPO Implementation Act (S.2918) is a bipartisan, common-sense solution that ensures justice for Ukraine and accountability for Russia without costing U.S. taxpayers a dime. Introduced by Senators Risch (R-ID) and Whitehouse (D-RI), the bill gives President Trump the authority and flexibility to repurpose frozen Russian state assets to support Ukraine’s defense and recovery.

This legislation builds directly on the REPO for Ukrainians Act, signed into law in 2024, which first established the legal framework for transferring confiscated Russian assets. The REPO Implementation Act strengthens that framework creating a clear, predictable, and lawful process for moving Russia’s hundreds of billions in immobilized reserves into Ukraine’s hands. At a time when Washington is paralyzed by gridlock and shutdown politics, this bill is one of the few bipartisan efforts moving forward.

Call or email your senators and urge them to support this legislation. Writ your own script or use the following:

I am reaching out to urge the Senator to support the bipartisan REPO Implementation Act which would hold Russia financially responsible for its horrific crimes against Ukraine. This type of leadership by the U.S. is long overdue and would set an example for other nations to follow. Thanks.

Action 2: Stop anti-science legislation in the states

From Joe Katz at Rogan's List 10/22

An Associated Press investigation has found that more than 420 anti-science, anti-public health bills (attacking vaccines, milk safety, and fluoride) have been introduced into forty-three state legislatures since January 2025. It’s part of “an organized, politically savvy campaign to enshrine a conspiracy theory-driven agenda into law,” AP reports. Let’s tell our state legislators that we expect them to oppose every bill that attempts to weaken public health laws surrounding vaccines, milk safety, and fluoride (examples here) and to instead introduce and pass laws that strengthen science-based public health.

Write your own script or use this one:

An Associated Press investigation found that more than 420 anti-science, anti-public health bills have been introduced into 43 state legislatures since January 2025. These bills, which deal mostly with vaccines, raw milk, and fluoride, are predicated on conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. I expect you to oppose any bills that harm public health and to only support bills that have been vetted by reputable scientists and doctors. Thanks.
