Support Medicaid, Protect Children with Disabilities
Republicans have called for Medicaid to be cut by $800 billion to pay for tax cuts that will primarily benefit wealthy individuals and corporations. The Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA ) recently released an easy call to action in support of Medicaid protection for children with disabilities, many of whom rely on Medicaid for early intervention programs or specialized services, instruction, equipment, etc. at home and in school.

Reject the No Rogue Rulings Act – H.R. 1526
Republicans in the House have passed the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025, which limits the district court judges' ability to place injunctions on harmful policies enacted by the government, the exact type of ruling that has blocked Trump’s plans thus far. The bill now goes to the Senate, and we will need to stop it there. Follow this link to send a pre-scripted email (which you can edit) demanding that your senators reject this bill. Takes 5 minutes.
Say NO to the No Rogue Rulings Act
Blue State Boycott of El Salvador
Governor J.B. Pritzker is leading the way on a boycott of El Salvador, ordering Illinois’ public pension funds and procurement agencies to investigate any investments or contracts they have with companies there while the Salvadoran government runs Trump’s concentration camps. This follows the example of states divesting from South Africa during apartheid, and Pritzker is hoping more states will join in. Call or email your governor and legislators and encourage them to divest from El Salvador as well. Write your own script or use this one from Jessica Craven at Chop Wood Carry Water.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has announced that he is making moves to have the state of Illinois boycott companies controlled by El Salvador, as a way to push back against Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s unlawful detention in the country. I want our state to do the same. I'm sickened and disgusted by the Trump Administration's flagrant refusal to abide by a Supreme Court order, and by their refusal to give Abrego Garcia and others the due process guaranteed to them by our constitution. El Salvador is aiding and abetting Trump in his abuses. They should feel the financial consequences. Divest from their businesses at once, please!
Protecting US residents from ICE abductions
Indivisible.org has developed a new Attorney General toolkit in response to the wave of ICE abductions targeting residents (students, activists, etc.) for their political speech. It’s aimed at pressuring Democratic AGs to act — whether that means defending those already detained or putting real protections in place before this escalates further. Follow the link below to make a call and/or send a pre-scripted email (which you can edit) if you have a Democratic Attorney General. Not sure if you do? The form will tell you! Takes 5 minutes.
