Be Heard: Look, the odds are really against us here, especially after Bill Cassidy threw his life’s work in the garbage to move RFK Jr’s dangerous anti-vaxx bullshit nomination to a full vote, but we have to put pressure on our elected reps however and whenever we can. It matters that you’re heard.
Call your senators right now. (go)

Volunteer: Sure, labor participation’s somehow at its lowest rate in…a very long time…after a labor president…but that means the only way to go is up! Support the groups supporting the workers (go)
Everything is a lot, but we can get through it together.
