OUR ENERGY FUTURE: Can we meet the demand?
HYBRID Badger Forum Thursday, March 26 | 12 NOON
In Person and Online
New data centers, manufacturing, food processing, not to mention the new electrical demands yet to be discovered. Who will generate the power to meet those demands, and how? Who will deliver it? What’s driving the demand? It’s easy to complain about big load creators—until we want to ask a question of A-I or look for a job. Our panel of experts will help shed some light on the ongoing need to create jobs through economic development and the power required to keep those new workers on the job.

Today we…
Support new arrivals through education, relationships and community so they can thrive in their new home.
In the future, we will…
Create a community of open hearts, helping hands and supportive systems where strangers become friends and we all thrive.
People ask me about B5 and often want to know if there is anything going on, any work being done, now that no refugees are coming into our community. That would be a fair question if the only people B5 serves were new arrival refugees, but less than half of the people we support have been in our country five years or less. Some students have lived here as many as 20 years, but they’ve never been able to overcome the language and literacy barriers that hold them back. Others are new to our country, but not refugees, like the Ethiopian siblings who will be hosting our Ethiopian dinner at the end of the month. Immigrants, not refugees.
This past week, the B5 board updated the mission statement for our organization: B5 supports immigrant and refugee families as they overcome language, literacy, and cultural barriers so they can thrive. We hope this more accurately describes who we serve and the work we do.
There are significant reasons for emphasizing that we serve immigrant and refugee families:
- There are significant reasons for emphasizing that we serve immigrant and refugee families:
- It reminds us that the Tri-Cities is a global community. Have you noticed that? People from all over the world have made this their home for many different reasons. Everyone has a story, and you can learn some of them here at B5.
- It reminds us that language, literacy, and cultural barriers can impact the whole family. We never want our students and family members to lose their native language, but we also know that communicating well in English will is beneficial in the Tri-Cities.
- It reminds us that learning a new language, and becoming proficient in using it, takes time. This is especially true for our students who never learned to read in their native language. At B5, we believe that it’s never too late to learn.
While we are not seeing new refugee arrivals currently, we have waiting lists for people who want to get into classes. In February, 129 adults attended English classes; a similar number of children attended our afterschool program. In the year ahead, the federal funds that provide some support for our programs will dwindle. We will need donor support more than ever. If you haven’t done it yet, now would be a good time to become a monthly donor.
Thank you to all of you who give your time and money, so refugees and immigrants can find welcome at the doors of B5. Your donation in any amount allows us to support our programs to help newly arrived refugees THRIVE in our community. Will you join us?
Donations can be made through our website or they can be mailed to: B5 Learning Center 715 S Jean Street Kennewick, WA 99336

FAQ from A Better Richland
Richland registered voters will vote this November to update the Richland City Council election process to be like the rest of Washington’s First-Class Cities, Pasco, and Kennewick.
Currently all seven members of the Richland council are elected “at-large.” They can live anywhere in the city. A vote to change the city charter would mean five council members would have to be elected from the districts where they live and two would still be elected “at-large”. Each of the five proposed districts would have approximately 12,000 residents. An interactive map on our website can show you in which district you would live.
Dear Friend,
Friend – they are actually bringing this to a vote.
We don’t have good news: U.S. Senate Republicans are moving a vote on a massive anti-voter bill, the catastrophic SAVE America Act, as soon as TODAY. This is a blatant and shameful attack on our sacred right to vote.
*Join the over 18 THOUSAND MomsRising members who have already signed on to tell Congress to REJECT the anti-vote SAVE America Act. *When you click you’ll automatically sign on to the letter below.
Tell Your U.S. Senators to REJECT the SAVE America Act!
Weakening voting rights is now President Trump’s top priority. Trump continues to push U.S. Senate leadership to bypass traditional rules to force it through [1], while also looking to end the long-time voter rights federal observer program that protects people from discrimination at the polls. [2] While the anti-voter “SAVE America Act” is being fast-tracked, our right to vote is being hit from every angle, including these harmful proposals that limit our voting rights:
- The “Marriage Barrier”: The Act requires a passport or a birth certificate that matches your current name. For 69 million married women, their birth certificates don’t match their current legal married names. [3]
- Passport Access Cut: Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s department just ordered 15% of public libraries to stop processing passports, cutting off the most accessible option for working families. [4]
- The Voter Data Grab: While the SAVE America Act moves through Congress, the DOJ is also suing dozens of states to seize unredacted voter rolls containing private information like the last four digits of Social Security numbers. Critics warn this data could be used for intimidation or to force mass purges of eligible voters. [5]
Protecting the right to vote is getting more critical by the day. When you click, you’ll automatically sign on to our letter to Congress, which says:
We urge you to vote NO on the SAVE Act because this bill will create huge barriers to register to vote for the more than half of Americans who do not have passports. More than 21 million eligible voters don’t have these documents readily available. When Kansas and Arizona implemented similar requirements, they blocked tens of thousands of eligible American citizens from registering to vote.
Moreover, this legislation would end voter registration drives, online and mail voter registration, and other voter registration efforts that are critical to voters, regardless of political party.
The SAVE Act is a dangerous anti-voter bill that will not make our elections safer, but will create barriers that weaken our democracy and silence voters, regardless of political party.
Tell Congress to not give in to this anti-American agenda: REJECT the anti-voter SAVE America Act.
The SAVE America Act does nothing to make elections safer—it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in America. Instead, it forces working moms who changed their names when they got married to spend hundreds of dollars and hours of time on paperwork just to exercise a fundamental right. If that sounds anti-voter to you, you’re right.
Together, we can protect our right to vote.
Lauren, Kristin, Donna, Nina, and the entire MomsRising and MamásConPoder team

What should MomsRising tackle next? Tell us!
Dear Friend,
Washington families just made history. 🎉
After over 24 hours of debate, the Washington State House of Representatives has passed the Millionaires Tax (SB 6346)! Champion lawmakers did not waver when faced with 80 amendments, the vast majority from Republicans trying to sink the bill. But lawmakers stood strong knowing that moms, parents, and caregivers from across the state were with them.
The Millionaires Tax has already passed the Senate and now heads to the Governor’s desk! This is OUR win. Thank you.
Here’s what this means for Washington families:
Thank lawmakers for this monumental win!
Only an estimated 20,000 households—the top 0.2% of Washingtonians—will pay a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million. The first $1 million is completely exempt, and it does not apply to home or real estate sales. And because the first $1 million is deducted, if someone earns $1,000,001 their total tax bill would be…..10 cents.
This is a targeted, commonsense solution that protects working people while generating the reliable revenue our state needs.
For too long, working families have been fronting the cost of a broken system—choosing between health care and groceries, child care and rent. Today, that starts to change.
We are so grateful to every Representative who voted yes, and to every single one of you who signed on, spoke out, and stood with us. Our lawmakers hear from us often—and together, we showed up loud and clear.
With so much gratitude,
– Lauren, Sara, Maricela, Kristin, Olivia, and the whole MomsRising / MamásConPoder team

WAISN’s Deportation Defense Hotline and Rapid Response Teams receive reports related to immigration enforcement activity across WA, including calls for post-detention support, sightings of immigration enforcement, and urgent alerts about detentions.
To help ensure you and your loved ones stay informed, we’re sharing some information on the reports we received in January of this year, the trends our Rapid Response Teams are seeing, and how communities can show up to protect each other.
These numbers are not just statistics, they reflect stories of family separation, surveillance, and intimidation tactics that sometimes lead to deadly consequences.
Almost 100 reports of immigration enforcement activity came through WAISN’s Deportation Defense Hotline and Rapid Response Teams in January, here’s what we saw:
Reports and Detentions by County: We were able to confirm 20 reports of immigration detentions across Washington, with hotspots in King, Whatcom, and Snohomish counties—and especially in the cities of Seattle and Bellingham.
Trends to Watch: Streets, public areas, and parking lots are where community members most often reported seeing immigration enforcement agents. We’ve continued to receive reports of agents using unmarked vehicles, wearing face coverings, and vests from multiple agencies including Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as vests marked “POLICE.” We also had one report of the presence of a local sheriff’s department vehicle at a detention.¹
We’ve also seen a pattern of immigration enforcement targeting outdoor day laborer hiring sites. At least three separate incidents occurred in King and Snohomish counties, all using similar tactics: multiple unmarked vehicles arriving quickly, agents in masks and tactical gear, and operations completed quickly, usually within less than 30 minutes.
Two ways to support community members impacted by these worrying trends:
- Join a Rapid Response team – we offer two online training sessions each month so you can receive training from home and plug into a team in your area. We are particularly looking to expand or build teams in King County (especially Kent, Auburn, Renton, and Shoreline), and Whatcom, Yakima, Grant and Adams counties.
- Adopt a Day Labor Corner – the National Day Laborer Organizing Network is building a network of solidarity at hiring sites across the country and could use your help!
A note on how we create these updates: These reports are not meant to be real-time alerts of enforcement. We prioritize accuracy over speed, only sharing trend reports once the immigration activity patterns are verified and can be responsibly contextualized.
If you see immigration enforcement first-hand or a loved one has been detained, please text or call the WAISN Hotline at 1-844-724-3737 from Monday through Friday 6am-6pm.

We all have constitutional rights regardless of immigration status. You are not alone. Please know that WAISN is here to support you. Our Rapid Response teams are ready, and our network remains alert—it was built for this moment.
In the face of threats and attacks on our collective safety, community will prevail.
In solidarity,

[ENGLISH ABOVE]
La Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación y los equipos de Respuesta Rápida de WAISN reciben reportes relacionados con las actividades de control migratorio en todo el estado de Washington, incluidas llamadas para solicitar apoyo tras una detención, avistamientos de actividades de control migratorio y alertas urgentes sobre detenciones.
Para ayudar a garantizar que usted y sus seres queridos se mantengan informados, les compartimos información sobre los reportes que recibimos en enero de este año, las tendencias que observan nuestros equipos de Respuesta Rápida y qué pueden hacer las comunidades para protegerse mutuamente.
Estas cifras no son solo estadísticas, sino que reflejan historias de separación familiar, vigilancia y tácticas de intimidación que a veces terminan en consecuencias mortales.
En enero, recibimos casi 100 reportes sobre actividades de control migratorio a través de nuestra Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación y nuestros equipos de Respuesta Rápida. Esto es lo que observamos:
Reportes y detenciones por condado: Pudimos confirmar 20 reportes sobre detenciones migratorias en todo Washington, con puntos críticos en los condados de King, Whatcom y Snohomish, y especialmente en las ciudades de Seattle y Bellingham.
Tendencias a tener en cuenta: Las calles, las zonas públicas y los estacionamientos son los lugares en los que miembros de la comunidad han informado con mayor frecuencia haber visto a agentes de inmigración. Seguimos recibiendo reportes de agentes que utilizan vehículos sin distintivos, llevan cubiertas las caras y usan chalecos de múltiples agencias, entre ellas de Investigaciones de Seguridad Nacional (HSI, por sus siglas en inglés) y del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés), así como chalecos con la inscripción “POLICÍA”. También recibimos un reporte de la presencia de un vehículo del departamento del sheriff local en una detención.¹
También hemos observado una tendencia en actividades de inmigración que se centran en los lugares al aire libre donde se concentran los jornaleros. Al menos tres incidentes distintos ocurrieron en los condados de King y Snohomish, todos ellos con tácticas similares: llegada rápida de varios vehículos sin distintivos, agentes con máscaras y equipo táctico, y operaciones completadas rápidamente, normalmente en menos de 30 minutos.
Dos formas en las que puede apoyar a los miembros de la comunidad afectados por estas preocupantes tendencias:
- Únase a un equipo de Respuesta Rápida: ofrecemos dos sesiones virtuales de entrenamiento cada mes para que pueda recibir el entrenamiento desde casa y conectarse con un equipo de su zona. Estamos especialmente interesados en ampliar o crear equipos en el condado de King (particularmente en Kent, Auburn, Renton y Shoreline) y en los condados de Whatcom, Yakima, Grant y Adams.
- Adopte una esquina de los jornaleros: la Red Nacional de Organización de Jornaleros está creando una red de solidaridad en los lugares de contratación de todo el país y ¡necesita su ayuda!
Respecto a cómo creamos estas actualizaciones: Estos reportes no pretenden ser alertas en tiempo real sobre actividades de control migratorio. Damos prioridad a la precisión por encima de la rapidez, y solo compartimos reportes de tendencias una vez que se han verificado los patrones de actividad de control migratorio y se puedan contextualizar de forma responsable.
Si observa actividades de control migratorio o si un ser querido ha sido detenido, por favor envíe un mensaje de texto o llame a la Línea de Apoyo de WAISN al 1-844-724-3737 de lunes a viernes de 6 am a 6 pm.
Si no contestamos, envíe un mensaje de texto a nuestra Línea de Apoyo indicando detalladamente el motivo de su llamada y trataremos de hacerle seguimiento.
- Fecha y hora del incidente y la actividad
- Nombre de la calle o descripción del área donde sucedió
- Fotos y videos de la interacción
- Descripción de lo que hacían y vestían los agentes, y qué vehículos estaban presentes
Todos tenemos derechos constitucionales, independientemente de nuestro estatus migratorio. Usted no está solo. Tenga en cuenta que WAISN está aquí para apoyarle. Nuestros equipos de Respuesta Rápida están listos y nuestra red permanece alerta: fue construida para este momento.
Ante amenazas y ataques a nuestra seguridad colectiva, la comunidad prevalecerá.
En solidaridad,
La Red de Solidaridad de Inmigrantes en Washington
- Hemos recibido algunos reportes como este y seguiremos supervisando la situación y proporcionando información actualizada, ya que podría tratarse de una infracción a las leyes Keep Washington Working (Mantengamos Washington en funcionamiento) y/o Courts Open to All (Tribunales abiertos para todos).

A Message from Emily
Programming is in full swing at the Washington Institute for a Democratic Future, and every single weekend, I am reminded why this work matters.
I continue to be in awe of our fellows, our alumni, and the local leaders who generously make time to share their experiences with us. What stands out most is the diversity of thought, even within progressive spaces. Our fellows are learning from one another, from the communities we visit across Washington (and yes, a little bit of Oregon), and from advocates and public servants navigating very different political landscapes and challenges.
The Democratic Party is not a monolith. That reality can sometimes feel messy. It can lead to spirited debate about priorities, strategy, and what deserves our loudest attention. But it is also our strength. When we take the time to truly listen to each other’s lived experiences, to understand the pressures facing different regions and communities, and to reflect on how those realities shape perspective, we build something far more durable. That understanding shapes how we lead. It shapes how we collaborate. And it shapes how we move forward, together.
I invite you to join us for a weekend. Come meet the fellows. Host a reception in your community. Reconnect with your own journey in politics, government, or advocacy. Growth doesn’t stop once we have a title or a role. It continues when we stay curious, stay humble, and stay connected.
We are building leaders for a democratic future, and we are doing it together.
-Emily

There’s a lot of talk about “centrism” in politics — but what is “the center” really about? Is it about splitting the difference between the far-right and far-left? Or is it about standing for things that are broadly popular and broadly beneficial?
Centrism can mean a lot of different things, but as Civic Action founder Nick Hanauer argues in The New Republic, the neoliberal centrism that has long dominated our politics is fundamentally about balancing the interests of the very wealthy with the interests of everyone else.
The neoliberal centrism of splitting differences is how you end up with a federal minimum wage stagnant at $7.25 for 15 years — it’s right in the center of the $0 that wealthy extremists want, and the $15/hour that’s overwhelmingly popular.
That’s not centrism, that’s defending the status quo.
But there’s also another kind of center — a majoritarian center that’s focused on centering the interests of the majority of people. It’s not about splitting differences — it’s about pursuing policies that are broadly popular and broadly beneficial.
That’s what true majoritarian centrism is about. It’s the neoliberal center that’s actually extreme.
Check out Nick’s piece, share it with friends & family, and let us know what you think.

We’ll have more to share soon about our program and featured guests. What we can tell you now: it’s going to be a really powerful afternoon, and seats are limited.
Monday, April 27, 2026 | 12:00 PM | Town Hall Seattle

We are almost there!
SB5974, the law enforcement leadership bill, will be on its way to Governor Ferguson’s desk any minute, and this is the final step. This bill would strengthen accountability, modernize qualifications for law enforcement leaders, and help ensure clearer standards across Washington.
Now we need Governor Ferguson to hear from supporters like you. A strong response from constituents can help show that Washingtonians want professionalism, accountability, and public trust at every level of law enforcement leadership.
Please take a moment to send a message urging him to sign the bill when it reaches his desk.
Thank you for being part of this work.
Best,
Mike McIntyre

The Millionaires Tax is on its way to the Governor’s desk thanks to thousands of IWN advocates like you who called, emailed, and talked to legislators in Olympia. With our support, lawmakers took an historic step toward a tax code where the wealthy pay what they owe, and where we can afford to fund the things that working families rely on.
From school meals to child care to housing, the Millionaires Tax promises to be a powerful piece of legislation that will improve life for countless Washingtonians. Watch our video for a summary of what the Millionaires Tax would fund:
Now, lawmakers and the Governor need a thank you and encouragement to keep working hard to fix our unfair tax system. Take just one minute to send your message.
Thank you for taking action,

Update! The Millionaires Tax could be brought to the floor of the Washington State House of Representatives any moment now – can we count on you to make one last round of calls to your Reps and urge them to get the bill across the finish line?
ICYMI: Over the weekend, Governor Ferguson announced he would sign the Millionaires Tax! That means the vote in the House could be the last big hurdle for the bill. We’ll be tuned in as lawmakers deliberate over the final details, and you’ll hear from us as soon as we learn more.

Did you see this?
The Yakima Herald says:
As devastating as [cutting Medicaid] would be for individuals, it also imperils critical basic funding for hospitals and nursing homes around the state.
“Hospitals will close in Washington state, in rural parts of our state and urban parts of our state,” Ferguson warned last month. “Take that to the bank. That’s going to happen. Nursing homes in our state will close.”
Newhouse is sticking to his story, though, falsely claiming that the Medicaid system is rife with fraud and waste, and that this bill merely cleans up the books and keeps benefits flowing for legitimate recipients.
But Newhouse is no fool. He chose his words carefully before he voted.
He may have promised not to directly cut Medicaid, but he knew full well that’s exactly what H.R. 1 would ultimately mean. Now he’s coldly trying to justify turning his back on the harm this heartless legislation will cause the 4th District.
That’s not just disappointing or dismaying. It’s disgraceful.
Rep. Newhouse can change his vote when this bill comes up again. We know that personal stories and experiences can powerfully persuade members of Congress. Can you share your reasons for opposing Medicaid cuts?
Thank you for all you do!
Sincerely,
Emilio Meraz-Rodriguez

The Washington Health Trust is back in the Senate
The 2025 legislative session has started, and it’s time to contact our elected officials! Once again, Senator Bob Hasegawa from Legislative District 11 has introduced the Washington Health Trust (WHT). We’re incredibly grateful for Senator Hasegawa’s advocacy on this critical issue, and now, it’s time for us to spring into action. We need co-sponsors to the bill ASAP. The deadline for co-sponsors is 5 PM today, so time is of the essence. See the Actions below.
We’re Spreading the Word!
Whole Washington volunteers, Board members, and our Executive Director were in Olympia on opening day, dropping off literature and making contact with office staff. It’s a bustling time in the capitol and a great opportunity for us to create some heat.
As Jim noted, we’re “taking our bill to our legislators before they’re even sworn in.” Thank you to all for your time, passion, and advocacy!
What are the chances for the WHT this year?
We’ve been advised Senate Bill 5233 will not receive a hearing this session. It’s our responsibility and obligation to not go silent. Our healthcare is much too important.
A hearing on comprehensive universal healthcare is more pressing than ever. Washington State has a massive budget shortfall (10 to 12 billion in the coming four years). Opportunites to save money need to be reviewed, and the WHT is just such an opportunity.
Both the Universal Health Care Commission Report and the 2021 Gerald Friedman analysis, show significant savings (anywhere from 738 million to 12 billion, depending on the model) while providing expanded benefits like vision, dental, and mental health services. We’d feel better and we’d save money. It’d be negligent to ignore a close review of the bill at this time.
What actions do we take right now?
There’s plenty we can do to press the WHT forward. Right now, these are the two big ones.
- Make Online Comments in support of the bill. Click on the top green button on the right that says Send a comment on this bill to your legislators. You’ll click the Support button and add your personal comments. Remember to send to your Senator plus both House Representative
- Contact your elected officials. This is the most vital action you can do today! Call or write them and let them know you support this Universal Healthcare bill. Ask your Senator to co-sponsor SB 5233 as soon as possible. Ask your Representatives to introduce a companion bill. Need help finding contact info? Use the District Finder here.
Reach out to Republicans and Independents too. Universal Healthcare is good for all of us!
Please reply back to this email if you make contact or leave a message. We’d love to hear what actions you’re taking and what you’re hearing from their offices.
Want to know more about the new WHT?
Join us tomorrow for the Virtual Town Hall! We’ll cover what’s different, share our stories, and plan together how to make the most of this moment!
Thank you so much for anything and everything you put in today to make some noise and increase the awareness for this legislation. This is not Whole Washington’s bill. It’s Washington’s bill. We can make our lives better. We just have to demand it.
In passionate and hopeful solidarity,
Whole Washington
Over the last decade, we’ve watched ultra-conservative politicians target transgender Americans to score political wins. Hundreds of bills have been introduced nationwide restricting the rights of trans people—and now a similar playbook is being used here in Washington.
This November, we must defeat the two ballot measures bankrolled by Brian Heywood, a Republican mega-donor who has been working for years to impose his conservative ideology on our state.
Measure IL26-001 would weaken protections for student safety. If it passes, schools will be forced to out LGBTQ+ students to unsupportive families, parents under investigation for abuse can access confidential student records, and access to counseling and support for students facing bullying, violence, or depression will be restricted.
Measure IL26-638 would impose a statewide ban on trans girls in sports and could pressure schools to require invasive, medically unnecessary physical exams just for girls to participate in athletics. These requirements would fall hardest on rural, low-income, and Black and brown students who already face barriers to care.
The truth is, these measures are a distraction from the real issues facing Washington families.
These measures don’t lower housing costs. They don’t fix our childcare crisis. And they don’t make healthcare more affordable. They are designed to divide us—and to turn our schools and vulnerable kids into political battlegrounds.
Here in Washington, we have a choice to turn the tide.
If we defeat these measures, we won’t just protect our students. We’ll send a clear message nationwide: demonizing transgender kids for political gain is a losing strategy.
That’s why this fight matters.
Thank you for standing up for our kids.
Dr. Grace Shih

Hi, my name is Chris Mosier.
My whole life, I’ve loved sports. But growing up, I never saw people like me in school, on starting lines, or on television. I wish someone had shown me that it was possible to be exactly who you are—and still belong.
Years later, I became the first openly transgender athlete to represent the United States in international competitions. I became the first transgender athlete sponsored by Nike, the first to appear in ESPN’s Body Issue, and the first openly transgender man to compete in the Olympic Trials alongside other men.
None of that happened without a fight and without pushback.
In 2015, when I qualified for a world championship race, I was told I would not be allowed to compete because of archaic International Olympic Committee rules about transgender athletes. I challenged that policy—and after months of advocacy, the IOC updated its guidelines.
I learned something important through all these experiences: sports are often just the entry point.
The same arguments used to try to push trans athletes out of competition are now being used to restrict health care access, make schools less safe, and erase transgender people from public life. When politicians say this is “just about sports and fairness,” it rarely is.
Washington voters will face ballot measures that target transgender youth—measures that would weaken protections for students and ban trans girls from participating in school sports. These initiatives aren’t about fairness. They’re about exclusion and discrimination.
Every young person deserves the chance to feel safe at school. Every student deserves the opportunity to play, learn, grow, and belong. Policies rooted in fear don’t protect kids. They isolate them. There’s nothing fair about that.
My personal motto is: Be who you needed when you were younger. As an adult, I now have the opportunity to stand up for kids like me, to make sure they know they matter.
| Thank you, Chris Mosier |

One Million Rising Registrants,
After an incredible summer of organizing together and building our capacity to fight authoritarianism into the future, join us for our final One Million Rising call this Wednesday, October 8, at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
Many of you have been taking part in our Signs of Solidarity, Ground Avelo, and other One Million Rising campaigns. Come hear more about how they’ve been going, how you can stay plugged in, and how they’ve evolved as you’ve been spreading strategic non-cooperation across the country.
The highlight of this call will be our launch of the Courage Collectives.
For One Million Rising, we talked about how the best way to fight authoritarianism isn’t by aiming at the top, but through addressing the pillars upholding the regime. Those pillars can be houses of faith, educational institutions, military branches, and any number of other organizations, societies, or groupings of people that hold community power. But we didn’t talk about how to organize to address these pillars.
Unlike your typical organizing model, pillars-based organizing may not be local. As an example, alumni of a university that is upholding the agenda of an authoritarian administration may be located across the country. Come learn how we’ll be organizing pillars-based communities with our Courage Collectives. **Bonus: We’ll also be giving a training on what power mapping is and how to connect it to your pillars-based organizing work.
After the October 8 call, One Million Rising will wind down as a freestanding program, and the infrastructure and campaigns will fold back into the No Kings movement, the new Courage Collectives, and other organizing paths we’ll share on the call. Join us this Wednesday to learn more.
Thank you for growing this movement with us,
The One Million Rising Team

Hello Indivisible Red & Rural Caucus,
Thank you again to everyone who joined our first Red & Rural Caucus call of 2026. It was wonderful to connect with organizers from across the country and spend time thinking about the work ahead. During the call, we shared updates on what’s happening at Indivisible, reflected on insights from our 2025 caucus survey, and discussed how rural organizers can plug into the No Kings campaign and upcoming mobilizations. Check out the recording below.
NO KINGS 3 Host Resources
As you know, we’re gearing up for No Kings 3 on March 28th, and many of you will be hosting rallies in your communities. Based on the feedback from your survey responses, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help make your event a success. Check them out below.
Coming Up
Our next cal will be on April 14th at 7:30 PM ET. We’ll hear from rural No Kings hosts about lessons learned from their events, share practical tools for sustaining rural organizing and expanding local networks, and reflect on next steps for building community power. We can’t wait to share this space with you!

These often-overlooked stories show how Black people have shaped rural life and democracy for generations and remind us of the power of organized communities, power we will carry into our work together in 2026.
First Red and Rural Caucus Call of 2026
We didn’t get a chance to connect in February, but we’re looking forward to seeing everyone next month!
Our next Red and Rural Caucus call will be a little different. We’re meeting on Saturday, March 7 at 2:00 PM ET, a change from our usual schedule to avoid conflicting with all the No Kings 3 trainings happening during the week.
The session will be facilitated by our Campaigns Director, Gracey, a fresh face to guide our conversation on the plan for 2026, and Tim, our Mobilization Director, who will explore how members can plug into No Kings while building power in red and rural communities.
Register below to receive reminders. We have many exciting plans for 2026 and can’t wait to see you there!
NO KINGS 3
We’re gearing up for the next round of No Kings protests, and we’d love to hear from you. Let us know whether you’re planning to host a No Kings event in your community, and what kind of support you’d need to make it a success. Whether you’re just starting to think about it or already organizing, we’re here to support you.
Take Action Now
Republicans are once again pushing for a series of voter suppression bills—all variations of their infamous “SAVE Act”, which would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote.
Congress is negotiating new funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at a moment when ICE and CBP are inflicting real harm on communities. This resource breaks down what we’re demanding and how you can take action.

One Year In: Why Local Politics Matter More in a Post-Trump Era
Substack – The Myth of the Perfect Candidate
Us: 10, Them: 0
From the desk of Bibek, Senior Digital Strategist
My 85-year old grandmother, who lives in Nepal, once decided to build a staircase up a cliff in the Himalayas to reach an ancestral shrine. I thought she was out of her mind. But she did it, brick by brick, step by step, completely unbothered by anything except the work in front of her.
She didn’t rush. She didn’t get distracted. She built something for her grandchildren, to outlast her long after she’s gone. And by the way, this happened last year. For the record she is still very much around and healthier than the rest of us combined.
I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately
Democrats have now won 10 straight special elections since Trump’s second term began. Republicans, meanwhile, have flipped zero. And we flipped 22 Georgia counties with a utility board race (read more below). While the administration burns billions of dollars a day in a war no one asked for—killing hundreds, including seven American servicemembers—and drives up prices at the pump faster than Trump’s list of Constitutional violations, Democrats are quietly building something more durable. And we are winning.
This is not just a wave. This is a foundation. Brick by brick. Are you next? Start your run.

NDTC Learner Spotlight 🔦
NDTC Learner Bobbi Boudman is a native New Englander who ran on a straightforward conviction: people over corporations. Despite facing a better-funded GOP candidate, she won Carroll County’s 7th District in the New Hampshire House — making her the Democrats’ 10th special election flip this cycle.
ICYMI 📢
| Yesterday we kicked off our Staff Cohort: Fund the Win program where Rep. Maxwell Frost shared words of hope and inspiration. You can read the shoutout on Punchbowl News. |
Our own Kelly Sherman sat down with progressive content creator Jess Britvich for a GRWM that went somewhere real: women in politics, imposter syndrome, and what it actually takes to show up anyway.
What’s On Our Newsfeeds 🗞️
Why this story matters:
The “boring” races are where power lives. In this case, literally. Democrats ran candidates on very real, everyday, kitchen table issues. In this case, the monthly utilities bill. And we won.
Why this story matters:
Still on our radar is the SAVE Act, which, as per usual, is right out of the Trump playbook of “squirrel!” and could make it much harder for millions to vote.
Why this story matters:
Diesel jumped more than a dollar per gallon in three of the most competitive Senate battlegrounds this fall. Republicans have struggled to compete with Democrats’ affordability messaging. No kidding.

Substack – GRWM: Jess Britvich X NDTC
At the heart of NDTC’s mission is our belief that every Democrat should be able to run for office.
That’s why every training we’ve ever hosted, every course we’ve developed, and every resource we’ve crafted have all been 100% free.
Like most Democrats, we have big goals set for 2026. If we’re going to win and stay dedicated to lowering barriers, we need to reach as many people as possible. So we have a favor to ask you — and it’s not money!
First, will you subscribe to our Substack? It tells the algorithm you’re interested in our content and gets you even more insider knowledge, campaign tips, and candidate stories delivered weekly.
Second, will you forward this email to someone who could benefit from NDTC’s resources? Maybe you have a friend considering a run for office, a neighbor passionate about local politics, or someone who’s wondered how campaigns really work. Our trainings, toolkits, and community are here for them, completely free.
If you’d rather, feel free to share this link to our website instead: NDTC Website
The only way to build a stronger bench for Democrats is together. Thank you for being part of this movement.

Substack – Our $4 Million Investment in the Democratic Talent Pipeline
Happy start of primary season! Fundraising is the engine that powers winning campaigns. But for a lot of campaign staff, it’s also the most intimidating part of the job.
That’s exactly why NDTC created Staff Cohort: Fund The Win — a 7-week intensive program designed to take you from nervous beginner to confident fundraiser, starting March 11th.
Every Wednesday, you’ll join campaign experts (and other staff in training!) for live sessions covering:
- Week 1 (3/11): Kick Off + Planning Your Fundraising Strategy
- Week 2 (3/18): Building Your Initial Donor List
- Week 3 (3/25): Fundraising in Action — How to Ask for Money
- Week 4 (4/1): How to Raise Money Through Candidate Call Time
- Week 5 (4/8): The Secrets to Successful Fundraising Emails
- Week 6 (4/15): Live Q&A with NDTC CEO Kelly Dietrich
- Week 7 (4/22): Optimizing Your Resume for Campaign Jobs
By the end, you’ll have a complete fundraising toolkit, hands-on practice making hard asks, and a cohort of peers who’ve been in the trenches with you.
This program is built for campaign staff who are ready to stop dreading fundraising and start doing it well.
Did we mention it’s completely free? 🤑 Don’t leave money on the table; the midterms are too important.
Warmly,
– Ada, Associate Director of Marketing and Communications, NDTC

Do you know where your birth certificate is? Do you have a valid passport? Is your full name the same as it was when you received these documents?
If your answer is no – like it is for millions of married women, trans people, and other people without easy access to their documents – the SAVE America Act could stop you from voting.
The Senate is debating whether or not to advance this voter suppression bill now, and it’s on us to stop it. Your action today could help millions protect their right to vote.
The SAVE America Act adds extreme requirements for registering to vote or updating your registration information. You’d need citizenship documents like a valid passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers. If you don’t have access to these documents, you’d need to pay to replace them. And if your name changed for any reason, creating a mismatch across IDs, you’d have to pay for a fix, too – or risk being blocked from exercising your fundamental right to vote.
The values at stake are clear. You shouldn’t have to pay for updated or replacement documents, often months in advance, just to register to vote. Eligible voters shouldn’t face more barriers between them and the polls.
Congress can’t silence voters en masse. Join us today in urging your senators to reject this bill.
Together,

There’s just over a week left to sign on in support of birthright citizenship if you’d like us to bring your name with us to D.C. when we argue in front of the Supreme Court.
We’re turning out to protect our Constitution and its core promise of birthright citizenship – and to prove that if President Trump wants to come for our fundamental rights, he’ll have to go through all of us.
Over 120,000 people have already added their names to our petition to be displayed in D.C. in solidarity. Together, we’re sending a message that the president can’t ignore.
President Trump seems to think that he alone can decide who belongs in this country. He’s gone after our immigrant neighbors, launching cruel raids in our communities and holding thousands in inhumane detention centers. He’s even lied about and disparaged people shot and killed by out-of-control ICE agents.
And in this case, he’s threatened our very Constitution – attempting to overturn the 14th Amendment guarantee of birthright citizenship via executive order.
We won’t let him. From day one of President Trump’s second term, ACLU supporters like you have held his administration accountable, fought back against abuse of power, and defended our communities and neighbors. Together, we’ll do it again as we meet the Trump administration in court to once again defend our fundamental rights.
Sign on to protect birthright citizenship and join the fight today.
With thanks for all you do,

Friends,
Every few election cycles, the same claim pops up: women aren’t electable.
But the results tell a different story.
In the same 2024 cycle where some questioned women’s electability, more than 400 Emerge alums were elected to office—serving in city halls, state legislatures, Congress, and beyond. And the momentum continued into 2025, with hundreds more Emerge women winning elections in communities across the country.
Why? Because when voters choose leaders, they aren’t voting on a narrative. They’re voting for people they know—community leaders, problem-solvers, and neighbors who understand their lives.
Women across the country are stepping up to lead—and voters are responding.
That’s exactly why Emerge exists. We recruit and train Democratic women to run for office and give them the skills, network, and confidence they need to win.
Every alum elected proves the same point: when women run, they win.
But building that pipeline takes investment.
If you believe in electing more women who reflect and fight for their communities, please consider making a contribution today.

On February 1, 18 current candidates graduated from our National Boot Camp, sharpening their campaigns in races ranging from local school board to Congress.
And we’re just getting started. In March, our National Signature program and the fifth Seated Together cohort launch. Seated Together alone has already produced multiple Members of Congress—proof that early investment in women leaders works.
But none of this happens without supporters like you.

In the past few weeks, we have been talking with Iranian-American women about home. They’re telling us about their families. About the suffering. About what this war is doing to women and children.
On the very first day of the war, a girls’ elementary school was bombed. 110 schoolgirls were murdered, mostly aged 7–12. This is the price of wars waged by men.
Tell Congress: We demand accountability for the girls killed.
Iranian women have been fighting for their rights for decades. And feminists know that those rights will not be won with bombs.
We stand in solidarity with Iranian feminists, and we demand accountability.

The Senate is back in session today on the SAVE Act.
Together, Women’s Marchers have sent over 89,000 letters demanding their Senators vote no.
Now we keep the pressure on.
Republicans know they lose when women vote. So they are trying to stop us.
Over 21 million people could be blocked from voting. Especially women who have changed their names, along with young people and Black and Brown voters.
That is not election security. It is voter suppression. Plain and simple.

Dear MoveOn member,
Just nine days from today—on March 28—millions of Americans will rise, peacefully and nonviolently, to remind the country of a basic truth: There are no Kings in America. The power belongs to the people.
I am nauseously optimistic that the next No Kings Day will be even bigger than the first two and mark a key turning point for our democracy. (Nauseous optimism is when your heart aches and you’re sick to your stomach but believe you’ll live to see the dawn.)
I’m cautiously optimistic that the next No Kings Day will be the biggest day of protest in U.S. history. There are now more than 3,000 No Kings protests organized across this country and beyond—already more than last October’s record-setting day. I hope that’s enough for the next No Kings Day to be big enough and broad enough to further weaken this corrupt regime and force a reckoning that’s been far too long in coming.
But in these dark times, I’m also sick with worry. Worry that the autocracy of this regime will be normalized. Worry that we, the people, might not turn out yet in big enough numbers. Worry that we will fall short of the mass movement we need to weaken this corrupt, horrifying regime.
Another reason that I’m worried is that MoveOn, which is absolutely essential to this effort, is $175,000 short of its fundraising goal for No Kings Day. MoveOn is providing critical movement infrastructure that no other group can provide to make this event a success. But if they fall short of their goals, it will be harder to spread the word and ensure that the next No Kings Day is as big of a success as we need it to be.
Fortunately, that worry is easy to fix. If just 1% of the people reading this email chip in $5 a month, it’ll be enough to fill MoveOn’s budget gap. But not everyone will open this email today. And not everyone is in a position to help.
If you are reading this email, and you are able to help, then will you please be one of the people who chips in today? $5 a month to help fill the gap and sustain the movement, or anything you can afford, will make a big difference.
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
One reason mass mobilizations matter is that they change what people believe is possible.
They reach those who are outraged but isolated—people who think they are alone.
They show up in places the media often forgets: small towns, suburbs, rural counties, and places where speaking out can feel risky.
And when people see their neighbors—people like them—standing up peacefully, something shifts. Fear turns into courage. Cynicism turns into solidarity. Silence turns into action.
There is also something else we know: Nonviolent movements succeed when they grow. We can’t afford to have MoveOn fall short and have to make cuts to their essential organizing that helps reach new people and grow the movement. That is why your support for No Kings Day is so critical today.
Can you chip in $5 a month to help MoveOn meet its $175,000 goal and grow the next No Kings Day into the biggest one yet?
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
Research on civil resistance suggests that when movements become large and broad-based, they can create the “loyalty shifts” that make unjust power structures crack.
When 3.5% of the population engages in sustained resistance, something changes in society.1 Sustained mass participation can be a powerful predictor of success for movements like ours.
As I write this message to you, we are closer than many people realize. Previous No Kings mobilizations already drew millions.
Each time, so far, we are getting closer and closer. And the fact that the movement has grown each time—rather than shrinking from apathy, frustration, or disengagement—is precisely why those who want obedience fear it.
MoveOn is doing critical work to grow the reach of No Kings Day once again. To make it even bigger than the past two. But continued growth is not guaranteed.
MoveOn is one of the best groups in the country at organizing huge, distributed days of action online. And they’ve been doing it longer than anybody. But if they cannot fully fund this work, it simply will not get done, and we could fall short.
I know that times are tough for many, and that you may not be able to chip in to every email you get. But, if you can, I’m asking you to donate $5 a month to MoveOn to help us keep building this movement.
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
MoveOn’s team has been working one-on-one with volunteer hosts organizing all 3,000 events that are registered so far—training hosts, safety-planning with them, making sure every event has what it needs. At the same time, MoveOn staff are helping local steering committees plan the national flagship event in St. Paul, Minnesota—where the national press will be watching—with a stage, a sound system, video walls, a livestream, and local artists whose work will reflect the spirit of a community that has endured so much and keeps showing up anyway.
MoveOn is also:
- Hosting a mass call tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET to help people understand the purpose and strategy of No Kings—and to help them feel connected to something bigger than themselves.
- Supporting thousands of local hosts with trainings, organizing support, outreach, and the technology infrastructure needed to coordinate safe, nonviolent events nationwide.
- Serving as one of the core coordinating groups collaborating with hundreds of organizations across the country.
It’s a lot. And MoveOn can fund its budget for this work only with your support. Will you chip in $5 a month, or any amount you can afford, to help us fill MoveOn’s budget gap and keep building this movement?
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
–Robert Reich
P.S. A single day—no matter how large—doesn’t finish the job of rebuilding our democracy. Not even close. What it can do, though—and why it must succeed—is that it expands the pro-democracy movement, recruits new leaders, deepens community ties, and builds the kind of durable, local organizing that outlasts any one news cycle. We cannot allow MoveOn to fall short in that effort. So here’s my final request:
If you are able, will you chip in now to help support the organizing that makes No Kings Day possible—and to keep this pro-democracy movement growing on March 28 and beyond?
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
P.P.S. Join MoveOn tonight. And march with us on March 28.

Tell AT&T: Do not extend your contract with ICE!
Dear MoveOn member,
AT&T is one of the top corporations profiting from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s cruel and inhumane deportation agenda. For decades AT&T has contracted with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and it has expanded its scope under the Trump administration. Right now, a $90.8 million contract is set to expire in September—but could be extended through 2032 for an additional $74.4 million dollars.1
AT&T is a major company, bringing in $120 billion in revenue every year.2 It doesn’t need DHS’s contracts in order to remain profitable. But it’s choosing to maintain its ties with DHS despite widespread documentation of ICE’s abuse and civil rights violations.
We need to make it impossible for corporations like AT&T to operate like it’s business as usual while ICE agents terrorize our communities, murder our neighbors, and violate our rights with impunity. If they won’t cut ties with DHS because it’s the right thing to do, we need to make it financially unviable for them to continue their contract this September. And that means leveraging our consumer power.
Tell AT&T: Do NOT extend your contract with ICE!
The reality is that ICE can’t execute its massive, ramped up deportation campaign on its own. It relies on technology companies for its intrusive surveillance and data and IT infrastructure. And it relies on AT&T for its high-speed network and special “first responders” priority access to voice and data.3 But it gets worse.
ICE also uses AT&T for its “Data Analytics Service”—allowing ICE to tap into AT&T customer data. ICE can use this data to add to its massive database tracking Americans, a violation of our privacy and security.4
ICE and CBP’s inflated budget has enabled them to sow chaos and violence across the country, and they are just getting started. And while we fight to push Congress and the administration to rein in this rogue agency, we need to also send a clear message to corporations enabling ICE’s brutality that they will be held to account as well.
Thanks for all you do.

March For Our Lives Virtual Events
December 14, 2012.
It’s a day that many of us remember — but it’s the day that changed my life forever.
I was in school just a few miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School, and we were under lockdown for hours.
I thought I might die right there in my classroom.
Then I found out that I knew some of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. Even though I was only in sixth grade, I knew I had to do something.
That’s how I became an advocate for gun violence prevention. I spoke at the first March For Our Lives protest in Washington, DC, after years of organizing lobbying events, rallies, and meetings with members of Congress to enact change.
Thank you,
Jackson Mittleman

St. Patrick’s Day is known for being fun, and even sometimes rowdy — but we know that holidays can turn fun moments into tragedies in a moment’s notice.
Drinking alcohol can increase risk of a firearm tragedy, especially when a firearm isn’t stored properly.
For houses with firearms, mixing alcohol with unsafe storage could be deadly.
Luck isn’t the only thing needed on St. Patrick’s Day — safe gun storage is necessary. That’s why March For Our Lives is working year-round to make sure safe gun storage is mandatory under the law. Help us continue this work by making a donation of $10 or more today:

Did you know that SURJ’s national network includes local projects in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia that organize thousands of renters in majority-white communities into coalitions fighting for housing justice?
Far-Right state legislatures in these states rely on places like Tullahoma, Tennessee to be a rural red stronghold for their white supremacist agenda. But housing organizers working in rural Southern places like Tullahoma know a different story. Our organizers are disrupting the Far Right’s authoritarian agenda in rural Tennessee by organizing white tenants into multiracial tenant unions and away from the Right.
This is the kind of multiracial working-class organizing in the South that’s required– alongside our electoral work and national mobilizations– to overturn authoritarianism in this country and win the things all working-class people need. Will you make a donation today to stop the Far Right and build power in the South?
Before our tenant organizers knocked on her door, Carol felt alone in her struggles at her apartment complex. Carol has chronic illnesses and worried that if she had to call the ambulance, they wouldn’t be able to find her because the landlord did not keep up the property, including the proper signage needed for emergency workers to find tenants.
But after meeting with our organizers, Carol began talking with her neighbors and, a few short months later, led a winning tenant campaign in her complex that pressured the landlord to put up the necessary signs so emergency workers would be able to find Carol and her neighbors. After this win, Carol joined hundreds of renters of all races at a statewide advocacy day at the Tennessee state legislature to make sure legislators knew that renter power in her hometown was rising and that they were going to stand up to billionaire landlords.
There are so many people like Carol in the rural South who feel alone and are bombarded with right-wing messaging that tells working-class white tenants to blame immigrants and Black people for their economic struggles. But strategic community organizing in rural majority-white areas is an antidote. Our organizing builds leadership in people like Carol to win on issues that impact people’s material lives while also bringing them into deep solidarity with a multiracial coalition of other tenants.
Carol is taking a leadership role in a statewide campaign for more tenant protections. Will you make a donation to support our work organizing tenants like Carol in the rural South?
In solidarity,

Over the weekend, the Trump administration attacked Iran without Congressional approval and the death toll is already over 500. In the days ahead, we as white Americans must do whatever we can in our power to demand: No War with Iran! Use this tool to tell Congress to pass the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s massive overreach and then join a protest near you.
We know that wars do not make any of us safer. They benefit a tiny number of people whose billionaire agenda will cause death and destruction across the Middle East, fuel racism and Islamophobia here at home, and come at the cost of millions of Americans who are barely making ends meet.
This week makes it clear: authoritarianism here in the US has deadly implications across the entire globe. This is a time to take action to stop the war in Iran and to recommit to the work we have here at home: building a massive resistance person by person, community by community, from the ballot box to city blocks– to take on our responsibility as white people in the fight of our lifetimes.
Join us on Wednesday at 8 pm ET for the launch of our training series, “Block by Block,” to plug in with SURJ and do your part this year. If you watched from afar as the community in Minneapolis came together to organize against ICE and thought, “I wish I had that here!” this is your chance to learn how to build neighborhood organizing infrastructure that is connected to our broader movement for change.
Whether you’re a seasoned organizer or this is your first action, Block by Block will be a space where anyone can get the skills they need to show up in 2026 to build progressive power, stop MAGA, and move more white people into a movement of working people fighting for our families, not the agendas of oil barons or tech billionaires.
As Anne Braden wrote: “The real danger today comes from the people in high places, from the halls of Congress to the boardrooms of big corporations, who are telling the white people if their taxes are eating up their paychecks, it’s not because of a bloated military budget, but because of government programs that benefit Black people…Our problem is the people in power who are creating a scapegoat mentality.”

Utah Republicans cut off his mic mid-speech on the state senate floor. Multiple times.
They called him a punk.
Nate Blouin’s response?
“If wanting a little public accountability from our state leaders makes me a punk, so be it.”
And he kept going. That’s who Nate is — state senator, defender of Utah’s land and water, and the most consistently outspoken progressive voice in a chamber dominated by a Republican supermajority.
He’s running for Utah’s 1st Congressional District, and his primary is on June 23rd. If he wins, it’ll be history-making: Nate would be the first progressive Democrat ever sent to Congress from Utah.
That won’t just be a win for Utah. It’ll be a signal about where the future of the Democratic Party is headed.
Nate grew up with a deep love for the outdoors. The mountains, the wilderness, the water — that’s not just where he feels at peace, it’s foundational to who he is. Before he got into politics, he spent years working for clean energy companies and environmental organizations, advocating for renewable energy across the Mountain West. And In his first ever race, Nate walked into the Democratic primary and beat a 36-year incumbent, winning by over 50 points.
His very first bill as a state senator was to save the Great Salt Lake, and he’s still fighting that fight. The lake is shrinking at an alarming rate, and as the lakebed dries up, it exposes toxic dust that gets blown directly into communities where hundreds of thousands of Utahns live. He’s introduced bill after bill to set measurable recovery goals and protect the lake’s water supply. He’s also passed a law modernizing Utah’s power grid, making it more efficient, easier to add renewable energy in the future, and reducing wildfire risk.
And Nate’s commitment to fighting for working people goes beyond policy. He’s navigated student debt, relied on SNAP benefits to get by, and lived paycheck to paycheck. Congress needs more leaders like Nate who have actually lived that reality and know what it’s like to navigate today’s economy, not just talk about it.
And here’s why this race matters:
Utah just went through redistricting battles that created a new seat in Salt Lake County, opening up a rare opportunity for a Democrat to flip a U.S. House seat in Utah. Voters passed a fair map initiative, Republicans tried to kill it, but a court upheld it. Because democracy worked, there’s a real progressive running in a genuinely competitive seat.
And just like us, Nate doesn’t take money from corporate PACs or special interests. In Congress, he’ll take on Trump, the billionaires, and the establishment — and he won’t back down.
Thank you,
David Hogg

Last week, Axios reported that some longtime Democratic members of Congress are “pissed off” about the wave of young progressive primary challengers running against them.
Honestly? Good.
Because our generation is pissed off too.
We’re pissed off that Democrats keep losing winnable races while party leadership tells us to wait our turn.
We’re pissed off that Congress is full of asleep-at-the-wheel incumbents who have stopped fighting for their constituents while housing costs explode, student debt crushes millions, and health care grows more and more out of reach.
We’re pissed off that when young people step up to run, we’re told it’s somehow disrespectful, and that they’re tired of hearing our voices.
According to Axios, right now, more than half a dozen House Democrats in their 70s and 80s are being outraised by younger challengers running to replace them.
That’s not a coincidence. That’s a clear message.
And as I’ve said before, this was never about age. It’s about complacency and accountability. It’s about whether you’re still fighting for the people you’re supposed to represent.
Voters are hungry for leaders who understand the issues working people are facing right now. Leaders who have dealt with those problems firsthand.
Because when politicians hold onto power for decades, ignoring the needs of their constituents and blocking the next generation from stepping up, our Party and our democracy stagnate.
That’s why Leaders We Deserve exists. We back fearless young progressives who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, who live the issues on the ballot, and who are ready to fight like hell because they know the stakes are far too high to play it safe. And we do it without taking a dime of corporate money.
And listen, yes, some establishment Democrats are angry about it. But guess what, you can either be liked by everyone and do nothing or you can be hated by a few and actually do something. After 2024 we don’t have the option but to do something radically different.
But change has never come from people in power deciding they’re ready to give it up. It comes from people rising up and demanding something better.
Thank you,
David Hogg

Policy: Housing is
a Human Right
In 2024, a record-breaking number of people experienced homelessness. In 2023, nearly 70% of Americans reported being ‘very concerned’ about the cost of housing. The American people care about this crisis and want it addressed.
A nation cannot call itself just while millions sleep on the streets. The housing crisis is not an accident—it is the result of policy choices that put profit over people. Skyrocketing rents, unchecked speculation, and a system that treats shelter as a commodity instead of a necessity have left too many without a place to call home.
The solution is clear: Guarantee housing as a human right. Invest in affordable housing, strengthen tenant protections, and curb corporate landlords who hoard empty units while families struggle. No one should be homeless in a country of abundance.
Action must follow principle. Demand rent control, public housing investment, and policies that prioritize people over profit. Support leaders who fight for fair housing, not those who serve developers.
This is not charity—it is justice. A stable home is the foundation of health, education, and opportunity. When people are housed, communities thrive, crime decreases, and economies grow. The right to shelter is as fundamental as the right to food or clean water.
A roof over one’s head should not be a privilege—it should be a guarantee. End the housing crisis. Secure the right to a home for all.

Dear Friend,
Friend – they are actually bringing this to a vote.
We don’t have good news: U.S. Senate Republicans are moving a vote on a massive anti-voter bill, the catastrophic SAVE America Act, as soon as TODAY. This is a blatant and shameful attack on our sacred right to vote.
*Join the over 18 THOUSAND MomsRising members who have already signed on to tell Congress to REJECT the anti-vote SAVE America Act. *When you click you’ll automatically sign on to the letter below.
Tell Your U.S. Senators to REJECT the SAVE America Act!
Weakening voting rights is now President Trump’s top priority. Trump continues to push U.S. Senate leadership to bypass traditional rules to force it through [1], while also looking to end the long-time voter rights federal observer program that protects people from discrimination at the polls. [2] While the anti-voter “SAVE America Act” is being fast-tracked, our right to vote is being hit from every angle, including these harmful proposals that limit our voting rights:
- The “Marriage Barrier”: The Act requires a passport or a birth certificate that matches your current name. For 69 million married women, their birth certificates don’t match their current legal married names. [3]
- Passport Access Cut: Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s department just ordered 15% of public libraries to stop processing passports, cutting off the most accessible option for working families. [4]
- The Voter Data Grab: While the SAVE America Act moves through Congress, the DOJ is also suing dozens of states to seize unredacted voter rolls containing private information like the last four digits of Social Security numbers. Critics warn this data could be used for intimidation or to force mass purges of eligible voters. [5]
Protecting the right to vote is getting more critical by the day. When you click, you’ll automatically sign on to our letter to Congress, which says:
We urge you to vote NO on the SAVE Act because this bill will create huge barriers to register to vote for the more than half of Americans who do not have passports. More than 21 million eligible voters don’t have these documents readily available. When Kansas and Arizona implemented similar requirements, they blocked tens of thousands of eligible American citizens from registering to vote.
Moreover, this legislation would end voter registration drives, online and mail voter registration, and other voter registration efforts that are critical to voters, regardless of political party.
The SAVE Act is a dangerous anti-voter bill that will not make our elections safer, but will create barriers that weaken our democracy and silence voters, regardless of political party.
Tell Congress to not give in to this anti-American agenda: REJECT the anti-voter SAVE America Act.
The SAVE America Act does nothing to make elections safer—it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in America. Instead, it forces working moms who changed their names when they got married to spend hundreds of dollars and hours of time on paperwork just to exercise a fundamental right. If that sounds anti-voter to you, you’re right.
Together, we can protect our right to vote.
Lauren, Kristin, Donna, Nina, and the entire MomsRising and MamásConPoder team
P.S. Got an extra minute? Call your U.S. Senators and tell them to REJECT the SAVE America Act. It’s simple, quick, and we give you an easy sample script! Text NO to (888) 418-5699 or click here!

Dear Friend,
Washington families just made history. 🎉
After over 24 hours of debate, the Washington State House of Representatives has passed the Millionaires Tax (SB 6346)! Champion lawmakers did not waver when faced with 80 amendments, the vast majority from Republicans trying to sink the bill. But lawmakers stood strong knowing that moms, parents, and caregivers from across the state were with them.
The Millionaires Tax has already passed the Senate and now heads to the Governor’s desk! This is OUR win. Thank you.
Here’s what this means for Washington families:
Thank lawmakers for this monumental win!
Only an estimated 20,000 households—the top 0.2% of Washingtonians—will pay a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million. The first $1 million is completely exempt, and it does not apply to home or real estate sales. And because the first $1 million is deducted, if someone earns $1,000,001 their total tax bill would be…..10 cents.
This is a targeted, commonsense solution that protects working people while generating the reliable revenue our state needs.
For too long, working families have been fronting the cost of a broken system—choosing between health care and groceries, child care and rent. Today, that starts to change.
We are so grateful to every Representative who voted yes, and to every single one of you who signed on, spoke out, and stood with us. Our lawmakers hear from us often—and together, we showed up loud and clear.
With so much gratitude,
– Lauren, Sara, Maricela, Kristin, Olivia, and the whole MomsRising / MamásConPoder team
