Campaign Finance
Stop Taking Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) Donations
Tell Representative Auchincloss to reject all Palantir Technologies contributions and donate his existing Palantir funding of $25,000 to local nonprofits. Palantir’s surveillance and data collection tools are used in large-scale raids on immigrant communities and in the war in Iran.
Civil Rights
Say No to Warrantless Mass Surveillance
Tell or email Representative Jake Auchincloss not to authorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 surveillance authority without serious privacy guardrails.
Contact Senators Warren and Markey with the same message.
Disabilities
Protect the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) & Defend Disability Rights Against DOJ’s Attack
The Trump administration cut Medicaid funding of home and community-based services supporting people with disabilities living at home. A recent DOJ memo hints at the desire to not enforce the ADA and not prosecute states that institutionalize those with disabilities against their will.
Urge Representative Jake Auchincloss, and Senators Warren and Markey to support Senator Duckworth’s resolution to reverse Medicaid cuts, rescind the DOJ memo, and reaffirm support for the ADA.
Financial Affairs
Support Strong Regulation of Crypto
Call Senators Markey and Warren to OPPOSE a toothless CLARITY ACT, and push for real crypto regulation instead.

End the Illegal Blockade on Cuba
Tell Representative Jake Auchincloss to oppose any unauthorized military action against Cuba, push to end sanctions, and demand diplomacy, humanitarian relief, and respect for Cuban sovereignty.
Don’t Approve Funding for Iran War
Email Representativ Auchincloss and Senators Markey and Warren and tell them to not approve another dime to fund the illegal Iran war.
Ensure Accountability for Netenyahu Government
Email Senators Markey and Warren and tell them to reject right-wing plans to deepen US-Israeli military entanglement and insulate the Netanyahu government from accountability.
Immigration
Protect Haitians and Syrians with TPS Protections
The Supreme Court ruled to strip TPS protections from Haitian and Syrian families living and working in our communities. Congress is the last line of defense. The House already passed a bill (H.1689) to protect them. The Senate just needs to vote. These are people who are home health aides and construction workers. Thank Senator Markey for leading this effort in the Senate and ask Senator Warren to join him.
Stop the Warehousing of Humans
Urge Representative Jake Auchincloss and Senators Warren and Markey to investigate ICE’s detention facilities and expose the conditions that immigrants are facing and reject the violence and atrocities taking place at Delaney Detention Center in NJ.
Reproductive Rights
Safeguard Women’s Health and Demand Oversight of Moms.gov
Call Representative Auchincloss ((202-225-5931) to demand oversight of Moms.gov which directs women to anti-abortion centers, or so-called “crisis pregnancy centers”. They often do not employ licensed medical personnel and do not provide referrals for birth control or abortion care. These organizations also engage in questionable data collection practices of an individuals sensitive health information. Demand that MOMS.gov be taken down until satisfactory oversight is completed. More information can be found on Representative Emilia Sykes web site and at Ms.. Please thank Senators Warren ((202-224-4543) and Markey ((202-224-2742) for sending a letter to the Trump administration demanding that they take down the MOMS.gov site.
End the Illegal Blockade on Cuba
Tell Representative Jake Auchincloss to oppose any unauthorized military action against Cuba, push to end sanctions, and demand diplomacy, humanitarian relief, and respect for Cuban sovereignty.
REMEMBER
Things are NOT hopeless. This is a setback, NOT the end.
This decision is NOT final. This is a pivot point for what comes next.
