Itching For Action? Here’s What You Can Do TODAY.

📢 Action Of The Day!

The Trump Shutdown is here—and families will pay the price.

Republicans shut down the government to protect Trump’s billionaire tax cuts and hand him a blank check for his authoritarian power grabs. But in America, we don’t do kings.

Here’s what you can do TODAY:

Call your Republican Senators: Demand they end the shutdown by negotiating a REASONABLE bipartisan deal that protects healthcare and stops Trump’s slush funds.

Remind them they work for us, not for Trump.

Share this post! Make sure your community knows who’s responsible for the chaos.

This fight is about protecting our families, our democracy, and our future. Let’s hold Republicans accountable—and remind them that power belongs to the people.

Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City].

I’m calling about the Trump Shutdown. Families like mine are being hurt while Republicans play partisan games. This shutdown is raising costs, disrupting services, and putting healthcare at risk—all to appease Trump’s power grabs.

I’m demanding that Senator [Name] stay in Washington, do their job, and negotiate a bipartisan deal that protects healthcare and stops Trump from taking a blank check for his authoritarian agenda.

I’ll be watching how Senator [Name] acts until this shutdown ends.

Subject: End the Trump Shutdown – Protect Families, Not Authoritarians

Dear Senator [Last Name],

As your constituent, I am deeply concerned about the Trump Shutdown and the damage it is causing to families, workers, and our communities. Republicans control government, yet instead of solving problems, they have shut it down to protect Trump’s lawless agenda.

This shutdown is driving up costs, cutting vital services, and threatening healthcare at a time when families need it most. Enough is enough. I urge you to stay in Washington, negotiate a bipartisan budget that protects healthcare, and stop Trump from seizing blank checks to fund his authoritarian wishlist.

I will be paying close attention to your actions and statements until this shutdown ends.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City, State]

All comments will be compiled and sent directly to ALL of our congresspeople. They need to be reminded their decisions land in their constituent’s homes!
