Action 1: Call your HOUSE Rep about Fitzpatrick discharge petition and war in Venezuela

From Jessica Craven at Chop Wood Carry Water 11/24

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) has alerted the House Republican leadership that he will file a discharge petition to force a vote on a Russia sanctions bill. He is VERY unhappy with Trump’s concessions to Russia, and he’s not the only Republican to be so. There’s a real chance this petition could achieve 218 votes, but we need to make some noise about it.

Call or email your House rep. Write your own script or use this one:

I'm reaching out to ask the Congressmember to sign on to Rep. Fitzpatrick’s discharge petition that would force sanctions on Russia. Trump’s so-called peace plan, which rewards Russia with new territory, is unacceptable. Thanks.

Consider adding:

I also understand that House Democrats have unveiled a bill that would cut off funding for U.S. operations in or against Venezuela. The legislation, led by Rep. Seth Moulton, would bar the Trump administration from spending money on military campaigns targeting Venezuela unless lawmakers approve an Authorization for Use of Military Force. Please support it. Thanks.

Action 2: Boycott Target, Home Depot, and Amazon

Adapted from Joe Katz at Rogan's List 11/24 and We Ain't Buying It

This holiday shopping season is a huge opportunity to send a message to the corporate collaborators supporting and profiting off the United States’ descent into full-on authoritarianism. They think cooperating or acquiescing to MAGA is best for their bottom lines but we can show them otherwise.

The We Ain’t Buying It campaign called for a nationwide boycott of Amazon, Home Depot, and Target over the Thanksgiving weekend. But let’s keep it going at least through December (or better yet - indefinitely). Try to shop locally when possible and support small, independent companies. Why these 3 companies?

  • Target has rolled back their DEI initiatives, which included ending programs that help Black employees advance, cutting financial support for Black-Owned businesses, and removing LGBTQ+ products from their stores.

  • Home Depot is allowing ICE agents to illegally detain and kidnap laborers from their stores. The laborers in our communities are not able to look for work safely.

  • Amazon holds a monopolistic position in the market, contributes to dangerous working conditions for its employees and drivers, and CEO Jeff Bezos has donated over $1 million to this administration.

Action 3: Hold AT&T accountable for collaborating with ICE

From Joe Katz at Rogan's List 11/24

AT&T has had multimillion-dollar contracts with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE and CBP are terrorizing our communities.

Sign this petition telling AT&T to stop collaborating with ICE: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/att

Phonebanking

Last chance to phonebank for Aftyn Behn. Per Joe Katz at Rogan's List, "We still face long odds of flipping this seat, but national politicians are carefully watching the numbers. Let’s do our part to show them we’re building opposition to this regime across the country."
