Action: Electrion Frontiers Foundation's list of "bad bills"
The EFF has a list of bills involving restrictions to or curtailment of various aspects of privacy on the internet. This page is a "one-stop shop" to find out more about all of the bills and to email your senators and congresscritters about them; the links will take you to an editable-email page, so you can get as "in the weeds" about the specifics of each of the bills as you like.

Check In 26 May
It's been a while since our last check in. I've been traveling, with limited internet access, so I'm not sure I've caught up on everything that happened while I was offline. But enough to know that Trump, Pence and their minions continue to be despicable.
Thanks to everyone who's been posting action items and links! Here's a reminder of what's been happening in the comm since our last check in:
Support The No Ban Act
National Nurses United Medicare For All Tools
Signal Boost: Captain Awkward On Activism In These Stressful Times
Two Worthwhile Newsletters For Local Action
Trump Baby Will Fly Again -- For A Price
Submit A Public Comment On The New Rule Discriminating Against Trans People
So, what have you all been up to in the last week or are planning to get involved in next week?

Signal boost: Captain Awkward on activism in these stressful times
I want to recommend Captain Awkward's recent post "We Have Always Lived In Presidential Primary Season: A Half-Assed Activist Post About Getting Through This Shitshow Without Perpetuating Or Tolerating Bad Behavior And Keeping Some Tiny Spark Of Hope Alive". The article is a combination of things Jennifer thinks, or hopes, might be useful politically, and suggestions on not driving yourself up the wall in the process. It's a public post on her Patreon page, which she's encouraging people to link to.
As she says there, she's not interested in re-litigating anything about the 2016 elections or in debate about specific candidates or political leanings.
