thisfinecrewSorry this is late going up. I had a non-computer day. It's been a bit of a roller coaster week with the Republican's healthcare bill hitting the fan.
Housekeeping
Reminder that we have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.
It's been quite quiet in the comm this week, but here are some reminders of ongoing or future actions
Action
Healthcare
Keep the pressure on your House reps that you are happy/unhappy with how they voted on the AHCA bill.
Donate to ActBlue or SwingLeft to target vulnerable Republicans in 2018
Immigration
Call scripts for Haiti TPS
Upcoming Protests
June 11: LGBT+ March
Other Info
New system for opinion calls showing up
The Senate is already scrapping the AHCA and writing their own healthcare bill
Analysis of Executive Order on Religious Freedom to Promote Candidates
Post AHCA vote, a little inspiration
What's in the Congressional Spending Bill
Everybody gets hugs this week *(((((((( you)))))))))*
How are you doing?
