Thanks to those of you who called the White House earlier this week!
We typically won't send more than one advocacy-related email in a week, but this month is a particularly crucial time for calls to Congress and the White House before the current terms end. So consider this request extra credit and call if you have the bandwidth.
Use this link to look up the contact info for your Senators. Then, place one call and cover any or all of the asks below.
1) Express to your Senators your dissatisfaction with the nominations of Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, and Robert Kennedy and ask them to take all steps in their power to block these profoundly dangerous nominations whether they have an opportunity to vote on them or not. (Feel free to add names to this short list as desired.)
2) Tell your senators that you expect them to oppose H.R. 9495 and speak out against its inclusion in any must pass legislation.
On 11/21, the House passed H.R. 9495, a bill that would give the incoming Trump administration unchecked power to target any non-profit organization that stands in the way of their MAGA agenda. Now, the bill is going to the Senate for consideration.
3) Help protect migrants in the U.S. by asking your Senators to actively support the request of President Biden by Senators Padilla, Lujan and Cortez Masto to designate, redesignate, and extend Temporary Protected Status for eligible countries, and protect deferred action recipients via expedited processing and expansion of legal pathways.
Thank you for making your voice heard and encouraging your elected representatives to take action to mitigate against future harm by the incoming Administration.

At IndiMarin, we are committed to offering personalized support to both new and experienced volunteers and to building a fun spirit of community.
