Action 1: Justice for the Fair Housing Three

From Joe Katz at Rogan's List 11/19 and Jobs With Justice

In late September, whistleblowers at the Department of Housing and Urban Development went public with their reports that the Trump Administration has dismantled efforts to combat residential segregation - violating federal law and endangering the public. Civil rights attorneys Paul Osadebe and Palmer Heenan were fired just days later, and we’ve learned that one of their supervisors who had raised similar concerns was also terminated. Vulnerable members of our communities are being left without basic mechanisms to protect them from discrimination by landlords, real estate agents, lenders and corporate investors, and we need to fight to hold MAGA accountable for it. Congress must act to ensure that the whistleblowers are reinstated, Housing Secretary Scott Turner is forced to answer for sabotaging the department, and HUD’s ability to protect communities from discrimination is restored.

Action 2:  Another effort to protect the Roadless Rule and our national forests

From Joe Katz at Rogan’s List 11/18 and the Native Organizers Alliance

In 2001, the U.S. Forest Service adopted the Roadless Area Conservation Rule to protect national forests from roadbuilding and logging. Since then, there have been various debates and arguments and modifications and specific exclusions, but approximately 30% of national forest land (59 million acres) is roadless, safeguarding the habitats and species within it. However roads are needed for logging, so Trump is trying to ditch the rule as another gift to corporate America.

While the public comment period on their proposed rescinding of the rule is complete, activists are seeking multiple paths to keep it in place. Rep. Andrea Salinas (D-OR) and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) have introduced the Roadless Area Conservation Act (H.R. 3930/S.2042) to codify it into law. Follow this link to sign a pre-scripted letter from the Native Organizers Alliance Action Fund to your members of Congress urging them to cosponsor and pass this legislation: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/roadless-area-conservation-act

OR, borrow talking points from the letter and reach out directly to your senators and House rep.

Phonebanking

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."
