Action Center


Speaking out to hold our leaders accountable and let them know the public is watching is vital to participatory democracy. The progressive movement and the fight to defend the American Way depend on the grassroots engagement of everyday Americans. When we speak en masse with petitions, phone calls, rallies, and other actions, our individual voices are amplified, and decision makers from elected officials to CEOs take notice.

All Actions

  • Tell the Senate: Confirm Jennifer Sung to the U.S. Court of Appeals!

    We need Member Sung on the federal bench, and we won’t let the Senate Republicans’ appalling behavior get in the way. Urge the Senate to ignore any biased and baseless attacks and swiftly confirm Jennifer Sung to the U.S. Court of Appeals!

  • Urge the Senate to Pass the Freedom to Vote Act!

    The Freedom to Vote Act represents a watershed moment that will counteract the rising tide of voter suppression, prevent partisan gerrymandering, and help stop billionaires from buying our elections. Sign the petition right away and urge the Senate to move swiftly to pass it and save our democracy!

  • Demand that Congress Pass the Women’s Health Protection Act!

    The Women’s Health Protection Act would provide federal protections for reproductive care broadly and abortion care specifically – and it’s designed to put an end to, and declare illegal, restrictive laws like Texas’s S.B. 8. Demand that Congress immediately take up and pass the Women’s Health Protection Act without delay!

  • President Biden Must Lead on Voting Rights by Urging the Senate to End the Filibuster!

    We need the Senate to end the filibuster so that robust voting rights legislation can succeed in Congress, and we need it to happen with enough time to be enacted before the 2022 midterms. Tell President Biden that he must lead on protecting and expanding voting rights by urging the Senate to end the filibuster!

  • Tell the Senate to Stop Partisan Gerrymandering by Passing the For the People Act!

    We cannot afford to let politicians draw deeply partisan and racially divisive districts that deprive voters of the chance to elect the best leaders for their communities. Tell the Senate to stop partisan gerrymandering by passing the redistricting provisions in the For the People Act!

  • Tell Sen. Schumer that recess can wait until the Senate’s passed the For the People Act!

    We need Senate Democrats to lead on this issue and fight back in every way possible – including eliminating the Senate filibuster as a barrier to passing this essential legislation. Urge Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to keep the Senate in session and forego the August recess until they’ve passed the For the People Act!

  • Demand that the Senate examine the FBI’s sham Kavanaugh investigation!

    It is more clear than ever that the corrupt Trump administration was pulling the strings during the FBI's deeply flawed 2018 investigation during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation process. The Senate has a duty to expose and remedy any abuses that occurred by conducting its own examination.

  • Demand that the Far Right Not Obstruct the Investigation!

    Six months ago, crazed and enraged Trump supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in a desperate attempt to overturn the will of The People by preventing certification of the election results. Since then, far-right members of Congress have attempted to hide, deflect, and shield those involved from accountability – with some attempting to rewrite the history books altogether. Sign on to our statement to the House now demanding that these far-right members refrain from interfering with a full investigation!

  • Confirm Myrna Pérez to the U.S. Court of Appeals!

    Myrna Pérez’s qualifications make her a strong nominee to fill this key seat on the federal appeals court. Along with Pérez’s extensive expertise, her lived experiences as a Latina woman will provide a critical perspective whose representation is sorely needed on our courts. Tell the Senate to confirm Myrna Pérez to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit!

  • Call Your Senators and Urge them to End the Filibuster and Pass the For the People Act!

    Far Right lawmakers in dozens of states are trying to pass laws that will make it harder for Black and brown Americans to vote, and in several states they are already succeeding. Currently, there is a bill before the U.S. Senate, the For the People Act (S. 1), that would prevent the worst voter suppression provisions from taking effect – but without urgent action by Senate Democrats, the bill is destined to fail when it comes up for a vote. Please make a call to your senator today to add your support to the record!

  • Urge the White House to Fight for Passage of the For the People Act!

    Far Right lawmakers in dozens of states are trying to pass laws that will make it harder for Black & brown Americans to vote, & in many states they are succeeding. Sign the petition & urge the White House to lead the fight to end the filibuster & pass S.1!

  • Demand that Michael Flynn is Court Martialed!

    Retired General Michael Flynn’s recent comments endorsing a military coup to overthrow our election are a direct threat to our democracy and the principles he swore to uphold during his military service. Sign the petition now and urge Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to take the necessary steps to have Michael Flynn court martialed and stripped of military pension!

  • Urge the USPS Board of Governors to Fire Postmaster DeJoy!

    Now that the Senate has confirmed all of President Biden’s nominees to the USPS Board of Governors, it’s time for them to take decisive action to save the USPS and FIRE Postmaster DeJoy! We need someone with longstanding experience in the postal industry to actually lead the agency’s modernization – not a morally corrupt businessman who wants to dismantle it from the inside out.

  • Tell the Senate to Support the Insurrection Commission!

    We deserve to know what happened that day and the events leading up to it so that we can prevent a similar attack from occurring in the future -- and move to hold those involved accountable for their actions.

  • Urge the Senate to End the Filibuster and Pass the For the People Act!

    We must DEMAND an end to the filibuster so that democracy-strengthening measures and other important bills can be passed. Sign the petition now and demand that the Senate eliminate the legislative filibuster to pass the For the People Act – the future of our democracy depends on it!

  • Tell the Senate to Pass the NO BAN Act!

    Tell the Senate to pass the NO BAN Act NOW – we can’t wait and give future presidents the ability to impose religious and ethnically-motivated travel bans!

  • Urge the Senate to Pass the D.C. Statehood Bill!

    For only the second time in United States history, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 51, the bill for D.C statehood, and sent it on to the Senate. Now we have to keep working hard to make sure that every Senator knows how critical it is that they support D.C. statehood.

  • Tell the Senate to Confirm Kristen Clarke!

    A champion of voting rights, a supporter of crime victims, defender against hate and violent extremism, and advocate of civil rights for all, Kristen Clarke’s career and lived experiences make her an exemplary candidate for the position she is nominated for and we must fight back to dispel these false attacks against her in support of her confirmation.

  • Tell the Senate to Confirm Vanita Gupta!

    A highly regarded former Justice Department official, Vanita Gupta has spent her career fighting for justice by rooting out corruption, defending democracy, and championing the fundamental rights of all Americans.

  • Tell the Senate: End the Filibuster Now!

    The filibuster is undemocratic and has in recent years been used as a weapon by senators to block landmark pieces of legislation. Congress must end the filibuster and fight for We the People!
