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 Congress: Pass D.C. Statehood Now!

    Passing D.C. statehood in both houses of Congress should be a priority for all of us who care about equality and opportunity. The House and Senate must pass this bill and end the racially biased exclusion of D.C.’s citizens from full representation.

  • Investigate Steve Bannon’s Role in the January 6 Insurrection!

    Bannon seemed to know that something was going to happen. The question, now, is how much he knew – and how deeply he was involved in both the incitement and execution of that attack. Urge the Department of Justice to investigate Steve Bannon’s involvement in instigating the January 6 insurrection!

  • Urge the Senate to Pass the Equality Act!

    The Equality Act would extend fundamental civil rights protections to the LGBTQ+ community to prevent discrimination in individuals’ daily lives. But the Far Right is waging a fierce campaign to stop it from passing in the Senate, which is why we need to mobilize support for the bill quickly.

  • Tell Congress: Censure Key Members Who Enabled the Insurrection!

    Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, along with House Republican leaders Rep. Kevin McCarthy and Rep. Steve Scalise, played a reprehensible role in attempting to overturn a free and fair election on January 6. Since they do not have the decency to resign, then at a minimum, these four must face official censure by their respective chambers.

  • Tell the Senate: Vote to Convict Trump For Inciting An Insurrection!

    Trump’s dangerous disregard for the responsibilities of our nation’s highest office and his role in inciting the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is unconscionable and unacceptable. The Senate must vote to convict Trump.
