Federal Actions

Note: We focus on actions that put you in direct contact with your Members of Congress (MOCs) or other elected officials. There are a lot of great tools to help you do this such as Resistbot and 5 Calls.

Tell the USPS Board to keep their hands off our vote

The U.S. Postal Service has finalized a rule that would block election ballots from being delivered to anyone not on a “verified citizenship” list created in part by DHS. The courts have blocked this rule for this election! But we need to make sure this can’t happen in the future. The Postal Board of Governors can stop this— but they won’t unless we make them. (Intercept Voices)

• ACTION: Customize and send a letter using the template.

Oppose canceling the Roadless Rule by Sept 21, 8:59pm

“The Trump administration advanced a plan to open nearly 45 million acres of wilderness in national forests to road construction and logging, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter-century. The proposal by the U.S. Forest Service would repeal the 2001 “roadless rule,” enacted to preserve the wild nature of forest land. It comes as President Donald Trump pressures the agency to increase logging and to thin forests to prevent wildfires.” [From the Seattle Times. The author of this article says: Wildfires are less frequent in roadless forests.]

ACTIONS:

• Talking points here and here, and impact to endangered species here.

• Submit a comment by Sept 21, 8:59pm
  The administration has opened a comment period that’s only 30 days from when this proposal was published.

• Stay on top of making public comments that become public record and evidence for future citizen lawsuits by joining the Public Comment Action Team.

We beat money with people—you are the people!

  ACTION: Read and share.

• WARNING: Musk has started a website masquerading as Vote.org to skim individuals' voting info.

Help distribute "Your Vote Is Your Power" zine

• ACTION: Download the PDF, reference the instructions, and let’s get these out there!

NO, NO, NO on the Heywood initiatives

• • Get out the No on I-645 vote (the repeal of the Millionaire Tax)
    There really is nothing like multi-millionaires trying to get out of paying what they owe. Vote No on I-645 has messaging and ways for you to get involved.
    ACTIONS: 

    • Find out how the tax benefits us.

    • Listen to why Rick Steves is voting NO on I-645. 

    • Take the pledge to vote NO.

  • Get out the NO on IL26-638 vote (making girl’s sports less safe)
    Heywood is funding the most MAGA of all anti-trans state legislations in the nation—and it would hurt ALL girls. IL26-638 would exclude transgender girls from the benefits that sports offer and creates barriers for ALL girls with costly “gender verification” requirements beginning in grade school. Help clarify what it is and defeat it.
    ACTION: Learn more and sign-up to volunteer at No Hate in WA State. 

  • Get out the NO on I-001 vote (puts vulnerable children at risk)
    I-001 removes common sense protections for child abuse victims and further endangers them. It is opposed by parents, teachers, doctors, nurses, and law enforcement officers.

Local Actions

Tell Councilmember Strauss to fix his VRA Program by Sep 22

Strauss introduced the Vehicle Residence Assistance Program to provide pathways to housing for people living in their vehicles. The program would bring desperately needed services, but is weighed down by some heavy-handed provisions: a single-day city-wide census to establish qualified residents of vehicles; having services removed if an “appropriate” shelter is turned down multiple times; permit authorities to impound residents’ vehicles without notice. Read more.

ACTION: Tell Dan.Strauss@seattle.gov to make his needed ordinance more flexible and less punitive by Sep 22.
