Tri-City Democrats – Friday, October 9, 6:00 PM
Greetings fellow Democrats!
It’s time for our October 9 gathering (6pm). We are inviting candidates who have made it through the primary to come visit with us. We will also have ‘Hate Has no Home Here’ and ‘Vote Blue’ signs available. At this writing, the weather forecast is promising for a picnic at the farm – 4501 W Lattin Ct, West Richland, WA. If it’s warm, we have plenty of shade and misters and sprinklers to take the edge off the heat. If it’s cool, we have a fire pit and patio heaters and we have some lights so we can see when it gets dark. In the event that the weather does not cooperate, we have the Pasco Round Table reserved. and we’ll make a final announcement by Wednesday the 7th. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. If we are picnicking, bring a dish to share, and Tri-City Democrats will provide utensils and plates, and napkins. If we’re at the pizza location, TCD will purchase an assortment of pizzas to share. You’re on your own for salad bar and beverages, though there are usually pitchers of beer provided by fellow members. We’ll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group.

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.
Uplift National Head Start Awareness Month this October by taking action to protect this critical program!
Tell Congress: Call on HHS to stop RFK’s attacks on Head Start!
A federally funded, community-based program, Head Start has provided over 40 million children with quality child care, healthy meals, medical screenings, and early developmental support services (and so much more!) over the last 60-plus years. Yet instead of helping kids who need it most by supporting Head Start, Secretary RFK Jr. is proposing deregulating and gutting core standards that would put the program at serious risk.
For decades, Head Start has provided services for vulnerable children from low-income households, children facing homelessness, and those in foster care, helping to break cycles of poverty. In fact, low-income children who attend Head Start are almost 3% more likely to graduate from high school, 8.5% more likely to enroll in college, and 39% more likely to graduate from college.[1] These proposed changes would especially harm the children eligible for Head Start who need the most support, kids with special needs, by allowing for larger classes, less protective staff-to-child ratios, and reduced specialized supports.
The letter we are sending the U.S. Congress states the following:
Dear Representative Dan Newhouse and Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell,
Last weekend the Administration announced the firing of hundreds of Department of Education federal staff who provide critical educational access support for children with disabilities. This means fewer protections when students with disabilities face exclusion, harassment, discriminatory discipline, and barriers to access and inclusion in education. Without federal oversight, states could begin ignoring or weakening disability rights laws altogether.
The Education Department already severed nearly half of its staff this past March and now have laid off just about every employee responsible for administering funding and overseeing the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which serves more than 8 million children nationwide.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has provided access to free, quality education to children with disabilities, early intervention support for infants, toddlers, and their families, and ensured access to special education & critical supportive services since 1975. Prior to the protections enacted by this landmark legislation, U.S. public schools accommodated just 1 out of 5 children with disabilities and many states even had laws excluding students with disabilities! 3.5 million disabled children who attended school were forced into segregated facilities that provided little or no effective instruction and 1.8 million children with disabilities had no access to the public school system at all.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the IDEA yet instead of celebrating progress, our nation is facing the dismantling of the very infrastructure created to protect children with disabilities, pushing millions of children back to a time of segregation and systemic refusal to provide educational opportunities.
Congress has a long bipartisan history of funding federal efforts to ensure children with disabilities can equally access education, this is why it is crucial that elected officials such as yourself help fulfill this essential congressional role of funding & overseeing these programs—and hold the Department of Education accountable. The Department of Education is meant to be the keeper of IDEA’s promise, not the architect of its demise.
We urge you to put pressure on the Trump administration to reinstate staff and transparency at the Department of Education and help right this egregious wrong and protect children with disabilities throughout the nation who depend on these critical programs to learn, grow and thrive.
Join us to rise together and protect the services kids and families need. Thank you for all that you do!

Today, International Safe Abortion Day, we are fighting back against growing attacks on abortion care and working to protect access to medication abortion—including care delivered safely through telehealth.
Stand with us to fight for the rights of women and moms. Sign our letter to Congress now!
Every person deserves the freedom to make their own choices about their body, health, and future. And everyone should be able to decide if they’re having children, and if so, when and how many. But right now, politicians are taking those choices away—and the cost is deadly.
We are already seeing the devastating real-world impact of abortion bans. Moms like Amber Nicole Thurman and Police Officer Ciji Graham lost their lives because state bans created fear, delayed urgent hospital care, and blocked access to timely, safe medical treatment. [1, 2] No one should die because politicians interfered with basic medical care.
Tell Congress to ensure that people have the power to make medical decisions about their own bodies!
Medication abortion using mifepristone is a trusted and effective way to end a pregnancy and treat medical needs. Today, nearly 25% of all abortion care in the U.S. happens through telehealth. [3] Doctors work virtually with patients to assess their health, mail necessary medications, and provide follow-up care.
Want to hear the latest from a U.S. Senator?
For millions of people, telehealth is a lifesaver. It gives people access to care when they:
- Live in states with abortion bans or in rural areas far from clinics.
- Cannot afford travel, time off work, or child care.
- Need fast, confidential, and safe care.
Science proves that medication abortion through telehealth is just as safe and effective as in-person care. [4] Yet, anti-abortion politicians continue to spread fake science, file lawsuits, and push the courts and the FDA to ban these proven medications nationwide.
They did not stop at overturning Roe v. Wade, and they will not stop until they have total control over our health decisions.
Decisions about health belong to patients and their doctors—not politicians or judges.
Thanks for all you do,
–Gina, Tina, Monifa, Kristin, and the whole MomsRising.org & MamásConPoder Team
P.S.– Your real-life experience can help counter misinformation and protect access to care. Tell your story about medication abortion!

LWVWA Resisting Threats to Democracy—Action Needed
As you read this, our democracy is under threat here in Washington state. And the League of Women Voters of Washington (LWVWA) is taking action—every day—to defend it.
IN THE COURTS: We are fighting to protect voter registration rights nationwide. In a key case against U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, LWVWA submitted a sworn statement opposing efforts to block groups like the League from registering new citizens at naturalization ceremonies. This fight continues—and so do we.
IN THE LEGISLATURE: This session, LWVWA tracked 68 democracy-related bills and helped pass eight critical laws to safeguard voters and elections—strengthening protections against discrimination, stopping bad-faith voter challenges, and securing sensitive voter data.
IN OUR COMMUNITIES: We led a successful “decline to sign” campaign to stop Initiative 126, a proposal that would have made it harder to register and stay registered to vote. Now, we’re pushing back against I-500—another attempt to create those same barriers.
This is what defending democracy looks like. It’s urgent. It’s ongoing. And it works.
But we can’t do it without you.
Democracy requires constant effort—and your support makes that possible. This GiveBIG, please make a gift to LWVWA to help defend and strengthen democracy in Washington.
Karen Crowley, President
League of Women Voters of Washington

Three hundred fifty-one.
That’s how many detentions we’ve confirmed in Washington this year alone through our Deportation Defense and Rapid Response Teams.
Behind every detention is a person, a family, and a community navigating the fear and uncertainty of an increasingly cruel immigration enforcement system.
We can’t control when immigration enforcement happens, but we can prepare for it together.
From 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. the Facebook live will be held in English, and from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. it will be in Spanish.
Together, we’ll walk through practical steps families can take right now, like creating an emergency family preparedness plan, understanding how power of attorney can help trusted loved ones make important decisions, and preparing for what happens if someone is detained or unable to return home.
No one should have to figure this out alone. https://www.facebook.com/events/1619528583162913/

Trescientos cincuenta y uno.
Ese es el número de detenciones que hemos confirmado hasta el momento en Washington gracias a nuestros equipos de Defensa contra la Deportación y de Respuesta Rápida.
Detrás de cada detención hay una persona, una familia y una comunidad navegando entre el miedo y la incertidumbre de un sistema de control migratorio cada vez más cruel.
No podemos controlar cuándo habrá una redada de inmigración, pero podemos prepararnos juntos.
De 6 pm a 6:30 pm, la transmisión en vivo de Facebook será en inglés y de 6:30 pm a 7 pm, será en español.
Juntos, repasaremos algunos pasos prácticos que las familias pueden tomar ahora mismo, cómo elaborar un plan de preparación familiar para emergencias, entender cómo un poder notarial puede ayudar a sus seres queridos de confianza a tomar decisiones importantes y prepararse para lo que pueda pasar si alguien es detenido o no puede volver a casa.
Nadie tiene por qué pasar por esto solo. Acompáñenos este miércoles, encuentre respuestas a preguntas importantes y haga un plan en comunidad con nosotros.

Last time we spoke …
If I’m getting this right, last time we spoke, you were either on vacation or enjoying a “breather from the primary.” Then, like clockwork, you (and everyone else) went from zero to sixty. Then, you probably pushed too hard trying to enjoy that final bit of summer on Labor Day Weekend. Come Monday, you found yourself again steeped in a flurry of work.
It’s not just the people whose lives are tied to election cycles and legislative sessions who are feeling a kind of way; it’s everyone. I hear it from all directions.
‘Tis the season, am I right? Not just of the year. Life, too. And I’m not gonna lie, it’s more than a little scary right now. Knowing what you know, and don’t know? Sometimes feeling like you’re hitting your head against a brick wall? Like the whole world is on your shoulders, and you’re trying, but it’s never enough? It often feels way too big. Bigger than your capacity to step in and make it all better.
But as I’ve had these same conversations with alumni and friends of WAIDF, something feels different. I am inspired. I am reminded that every bit of our work and every ounce of your effort is worth it. And despite the setbacks, challenges, honest frustrations, and the cancellations, it is our collective persistence, resistance, and assistance that sets our people apart.
And it’s time to bring more people into the fold….

Applications are now open for the Class of 2027!
The Washington Institute for a Democratic Future is now accepting applications for its 2027 fellowship program.
WAIDF is a six-month leadership development experience for emerging Democratic and civic leaders ready to make an impact.
The program has helped launch and advance the careers of hundreds of Washington electeds and movers and shakers. From local organizers and policy advocates to elected officials and campaign leaders. The program is ideal for people early in their careers or those looking to take their first step into public service, campaigns, or advocacy.
Early bird pricing is $50 if you apply by Tuesday, November 10, and $75 if you apply by Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
Speaking of going from zero to sixty!
The WAIDF Extended Learning crew headed to Lopez Island, Washington, for ferries, farmers, and fireside chats. We discussed the impacts that its unique rural environment, travel challenges, and wealth gap have on housing, food, health care, the economy, and so much more. It’s a common phrase that on Lopez Island, you either have three houses or three jobs. Yet, there are incredible people working hard to make life better for everyone and take care of all those who call the Island home.
We had an incredible time learning from Lauren Bigelow, Executive Director of San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild, who knew all things food, farms, and the ag economy. We received an amazing tour of the Common Ground Co-Op from Lopez Community Land Trust’s Executive Director, Sandy Bishop, and Stewardship Manager, Clara Costa. We got a warm welcome from San Juan County Commissioner Jane Fuller and met with Lopez Island School Superintendent Brady Smith, a conversation from which all of us came away with steps to improve and support state education funding.
We shopped until we dropped at the Lopez Island Farmers Market where we connected with the local organizers for the No Hate in Washington State campaign, joined a local “No Kings” rally, and toured Midnight’s Farm with Faith Van De Putte and David Bill. There, we not only learned about their composting work, farm stand, and process for helping feed the island, but also had deep conversations on the current state of politics, the world, and each of our roles in our shared progress.
We met with Contessa Downey, Household Supports & Tribal Partnerships Director, and the Visions and Voices Team at the Lopez Island Family Resources Center, who furthered our understanding of Lopez Island dynamics and shared their work to ensure everyone has access to essential resources and the support needed for a strong, healthy community.
And this weekend would not have been possible without the inspiration and warm welcome from quilt historian and artist Mary Bywater Cross and her son, newly retired history teacher Steve Cross. Thank you for all your work coordinating this trip, connecting us with amazing local leaders, sharing your knowledge of the Island’s history, experiences, and perspectives, and keeping us well-fed!
Having a little FOMO from all our nerd camping? Next up is Chicago in late 2027. We’ll visit the Barack Obama Presidential Center and do so much more! Interested? Let us know HERE.
Need your fix? Check out the trip on the gram here.
WAIDF Seahawks Night | October 25, 2026!
Join WAIDF alumni, friends, and family for our 2026 Gridiron Day on October 25, when our Seattle Seahawks take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
We have 30 seats reserved in Section 319, Row R, Seats 4-17, and Section 319, Row S, Seats 1-16.
Tickets are $160, and kickoff is at 5:20 p.m. Fingers crossed for a special appearance by T-Swift!
Seeking input for 2027 class speakers and presenters
Have you recently connected with someone and thought, “The WAIDF Program needs to include this person!” Did you find yourself deep in conversation or immersed in their incredible story, ideas, advocacy, policy, or campaign work? Well, we want to hear from you! And don’t be shy, recommend yourself!
Let us know who’s been missing and who we should consider putting in front of our 2027 Fellowship Class. All ideas are welcome, and there are 11 incredible weeks across the state with availability. Check out the 2027 Calendar Here.
Democracy needs every voice
WAIDF was born from a moment of challenge and hope.
A small group of organizers and young leaders came together in 1997 with a bold idea to rebuild the bench of leadership and prepare a new generation to serve with integrity and heart.
Help us continue that work and raise $10,000 by October 31 through a one-time or monthly contribution.
Thank You 2026 Program Supporters!
Thank you to our program sponsors, alumni, and board members for making this year’s cohort programming and programs possible.

Hello!
Last night, Fix Democracy First enthusiastically hosted a relaunch of its Democracy Happy Hour programming. We look forward to continuing these events, allowing us to casually convene around important stories and work in the fight for democracy, and to identify ways to meaningfully engage one another.
We’re proud to see the hundreds of people sign up for our program within a week, and over 80 participated in last night’s call. There is people power in taking time to collectively listen and ask questions. The energy of our group will continue to grow.

An average of 24 people per minute are victims of sexual assault, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in this country. Domestic violence does not discriminate by gender, age or ZIP code – and we also know that domestic violence and access to an unsecured firearm are the two leading indicators of intimate partner murder.
Firearms are used to commit more than three in five intimate partner homicides in the U.S.
These statistics are devastating, but they also point to opportunities for prevention, particularly two common-sense policies.
Extreme Risk Protection Order laws empower families, survivors, and law enforcement to step in when someone may be a threat to themselves or others and prevent someone, who a court deems dangerous, from accessing firearms. Secure storage can introduce enough time delay and physical barriers to disrupt instances of impulsive or emotion-driven acts of violence enough to prevent them.
This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let’s talk openly about firearm access, secure storage, Extreme Risk Protection Orders, and the practical steps that can help keep people alive long enough for a crisis to pass.
There are two concrete things you can do:
- Secure your firearm today and talk to friends and family who own firearms about the importance of secure storage.
- Learn how Extreme Risk Protection Orders work so when you see a loved one in crisis and you know they have a firearm, you can help.
If you or someone you love needs support, help is available. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233.

FIRST, a court in Texas struck down rules on the sale of silencers.
THEN, the next day, that court overturned federal regulations on dangerous ghost guns that were put in place during the Biden administration.
NEXT, Trump’s DOJ announced they wouldn’t enforce laws requiring someone to be 21 years old to purchase handguns.
NOW, we’re preparing our multi-state effort to fight back and we need you.
As the federal government takes cues from the gun lobby and systematically erodes gun safety measures nationally, it’s on us and our model to step in and protect our communities.
We work on the ground here in Washington, as well as in our partner states across the country to pass gun safety legislation at the state level.
Thank you for understanding the states,

In this issue:
- Poll: Support for repealing WA ‘millionaires tax’ drops with budget impact
- Seattle Times recommends ‘No’ on I-645, ‘millionaires tax’
- Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
- Millionaires tax benefits everybody
- Millionaires tax: Repeal is bad for our health
Donald Trump just came out opposing the Millionaires tax, and presumably in support of I-645 — the initiative that would cut billions in funding for healthcare, education, and child care in Washington. That shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, Trump championed a tax cut for the top 1% while recklessly slashing funding for hospitals, nursing homes, child care, and much more.
Initiative 645 is right on brand for Donald Trump.
Luckily, Washingtonians get it. Polling shows that when Washingtonians know the full impact of I-645, they are more likely to vote “No.” So with just weeks to go until voters get their ballots, can we count on you to help get information out to your friends, family, and neighbors? Fill out this quick survey and tell us the one thing you want to do between now and the election and we’ll make it happen. Post social media? Write a letter to the editor? Knock on some doors? We need everyone’s help to protect our state from I-645.
In solidarity,
Ben, Invest in WA Now
POLL: SUPPORT FOR REPEALING WA MILLIONAIRES TAX DROPS WITH BUDGET IMPACT
The poll of 800 Washington residents tested support for I-645 by evenly splitting the sample: 400 saw that budget-impact wording, and 400 did not.
It made a big difference.
Fifty-seven percent of those who saw the budget statement said they’d vote no on I-645, compared with 35% who said they’d vote yes to repeal the tax. Eight percent were undecided.
More – Jim Brunner, The Seattle Times
SEATTLE TIMES RECOMMENDS ‘NO’ ON I-645, ‘MILLIONAIRES TAX’ REPEAL
“But Initiative 645 does more than take away the 9.9% tax on incomes over $1 million. It maintains a bevy of promised tax credits that, without the income tax to fund them, would dig an even deeper budget hole. And it would prevent legislators from altering any of the initiative’s impacts for two years, absent a supermajority vote. That would come at an economically uncertain time: the last two years of the Trump administration, whose budget cuts have required Olympia to backfill lifesaving social programs; and with the state’s unemployment rate surging to among the highest in the nation.
More – Editorial Board, The Seattle Times
WASHINGTON TAXED ITS MILLIONAIRES. NOW THE RICH WANT IT REPEALED.
“People who don’t know much about Washington politics would assume we have a highly progressive tax code,” said Rian Watt, executive director of the nonprofit Economic Opportunity Institute, a progressive research and advocacy group in Seattle. “The reality is, we have a tax code written in the course of a couple of months in the 1930s.”
More – Anna Griffin, The New York Times
MILLIONAIRES TAX BENEFITS EVERYBODY
“My clients knew they benefited from employees who were trained in public schools, they appreciated their access to clean and plentiful water, clean air and fire fighters when needed. They appreciated the safe banking system, tax credits for their good deeds and business deductions that were generous in what was considered ‘business expenses’. They took advantage of good roads, rail, freight, and an internet that was developed with taxpayer dollars.
What I have a problem with is being stiffed for the bill when people take advantage of a system I and my fellows pay for without the largest benefactors giving back. The ‘tax’ is one way major benefactors can give back. There are many reasons to leave Washington, but tax if you earn more than a million dollars in a year shouldn’t be one of them. “I got mine” is not a good look.”
MILLIONAIRES TAX: REPEAL IS BAD FOR OUR HEALTH
“Research consistently demonstrates that more equitable societies experience lower mortality rates, longer lives and greater overall well-being.
“A fairer tax system that provides the resources to build a robust social safety net is by far the most impactful health intervention. That’s why the millionaires tax is a monumental step toward building a Washington where all communities, regardless of income, can thrive and experience long and healthy lives.”

When ballots show up in mailboxes, one of the first places voters turn is to informed people around them. And as an Invest in Washington Now activist, that’s you!
That’s why we’re asking for one small thing you’ll do to be a leader for your friends, families, and neighbors to defeat I-645! Whether you’ll write a letter to the editor, post on social media, or knock on doors, the No on 645 campaign needs your help. Tell us what you’re up for by answering our Activist Survey and we’ll get in touch with you.
You’ll be joining a campaign with momentum to build on. Former Governor Jay Inslee has endorsed No on 645, and a growing list of organizations and elected officials have joined the effort to defeat this harmful initiative. That’s encouraging, but we can’t take anything for granted. I-645’s backers have deep pockets, and it’s going to take all of us to make sure this initiative is defeated.
Thank you for taking the Activist Survey and joining the campaign!

NWIRP is headed to the United States Supreme Court: two weeks ago, the First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court order declaring unlawful the Trump administration’s policy of deporting people to third countries without any meaningful notice or an opportunity to seek protection.
But this victory was short-lived. Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the administration’s request for an emergency stay of the ruling, temporarily allowing the government to resume summarily deporting people to third-countries pending a final judgment by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court then scheduled the case for full review, with expedited briefing and oral arguments in December. Our legal director, Matt Adams, will argue the case for our team. And while NWIRP is proud to be at the forefront of this critical fight, we are anguished by the fact that our clients will now continue to face removal to third-countries around the world.
The case, D.V.D. v. Department of Homeland Security, was brought by the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, and Human Rights First, on behalf of a nationwide class of noncitizens threatened with Trump’s new policy of third-country removals, i.e., deporting people to countries other than their country of origin, countries that had not previously been identified in their immigration proceedings.
Under the policy, DHS provides no meaningful notice–often people are not told where they will be deported to until they are being physically removed–and similarly are given no meaningful opportunity to assert claims that they may be persecuted or tortured in that third country, even though our laws guarantee that persons will not be removed to any countries where they face deportation or torture. Many of our class members have been deported to third-countries where they have been imprisoned and tortured. Others have been immediately sent from the third-country back to their countries of origin, even though immigration judges granted them protection from being returned to their home countries.
Three times the Supreme Court has now stayed lower court judgments that would otherwise afford basic protections to our class members. But NWIRP and our partners will continue to stand up and fight for the thousands of community members being threatened with third-country removals without any opportunity to present their claims. And in doing so, NWIRP and our partners will continue to fight for basic human decency, access to justice and the rule of law.
While this work is challenging and there are so many community members to fight for, we are appreciative of this community of support and the long-standing partnerships that make this work possible.
Recapping our Wenatchee Solidarity Social
Earlier this month, nearly 100 supporters gathered at Icicle Ridge Winery in Peshastin for NWIRP’s annual Wenatchee Solidarity Social.
The evening was an opportunity to celebrate the people and communities who make our work possible and to learn more about the work of our Wenatchee team.
As community member, and former NWIRP client, Eduardo shared at the event, “because of the work that NWIRP does every day for families and communities like ours… the dream of being together as a family is still alive.”
From providing direct legal services to immigrants and families to expanding community education and outreach, NWIRP’s Wenatchee office plays a vital role in defending immigrant rights across North Central Washington.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us for an evening of connection, conversation, and solidarity.

Giving thanks for you + annual dinner report
Hi, it’s Libby.
I’m writing with a full heart this morning: thanks to supporters like you, we met our end-of-quarter fundraising goal!
This was arguably the most important deadline of our entire campaign—the last big fundraising deadline before Washingtonians start voting. Supporters from every corner of Washington stepped up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to you and everyone who chipped in.
Hitting this goal means we can fund the work that wins close races: more organizers, knocking doors, making calls, hosting more events, and getting our ads in front of undecided voters.
With just over 30 days until Election Day, this is the moment to go all in. Ballots will be landing in mailboxes before we know it, and everything we’ve built over the past few months comes down to the next few weeks.
I know we can do this because I’ve seen what we can do when it counts. Together, we’ll keep Washington a state where girls can play sports freely and where our schools are safe spaces for all our kids.
Thank you for being on this team. Let’s go defeat 638 and 001.
With gratitude,
Libby Watson
Campaign Manager
NO HATE in WA State is a campaign of Washington parents, medical professionals, teachers, students, and community members standing against ballot measures IL26-001 and IL26-638 that would endanger Washington students and hurt our schools.
Reject the hate, bullying, and harassment of our students. Join us today.

Seattle, WA 98111
United States
on November 3rd, we’re going up against the most extreme and well-funded anti-trans initiatives in the country, but our final end-of-quarter deadline is tonight.
Here’s why this fight matters. Initiatives 638 and 001 are being bankrolled by hedge fund boss and MAGA mega donor Brian Heywood, who has been on a personal crusade to impose his own conservative ideology on our state for years.
These are some of the most well-funded anti-LGBTQ initiatives in the country, and if they pass, ALL of our students will suffer the consequences.
I-638 would force ALL girls who want to play school sports to undergo invasive physical exams to prove their sex. However, boys would be exempt from the exact same policy.
I-001 would strip protections for students facing abuse, bullying, or harassment. It could also force schools to out LGBTQ+ students to unsupportive families.
We cannot be complacent or take any vote for granted in our campaign to defeat these measures. Because if we do, there is a very real risk that they pass.
If 001 and 638 pass here, MAGA politicians will use them as blueprints to pass anti-trans measures across the country.
That’s why we have to get the truth in front of Washingtonians every single day until November 3rd, and finish out this month strong.
Can you chip in before tonight’s midnight deadline to help defeat I-638 and I-001? Even a few bucks would be huge >>
Thank you for standing with us.

From the desk of Bibek, Senior Digital Strategist
This week’s guest post comes from David Nir of The Downballot, and I’ll be honest, I’m a huge fan. If you want to understand what’s actually happening in elections below the top of the ticket, David is who you read. Take it away, David.
There’s so much noise, and not nearly enough signal, when it comes to figuring out what might happen in next month’s (!) midterms. But after closely studying elections for more than 20 years, there are a few metrics I’ve come to value—and all of them are pointing toward a major Democratic wave.
- Special elections. Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, Democratic candidates across the country have outperformed the presidential results in their districts by an average of 13 points.
- The generic congressional ballot. This question frequently asked by pollsters asks simply, will you vote for the Democrat or for the Republican for Congress this fall? My favorite aggregate has Democrats leading by 8 points.
- Primary turnout. Far more Americans voted in Democratic primaries than in Republican primaries this year. In a groundbreaking new analysis at my site, The Downballot, we showed that this disparity suggests a political environment that favors Democrats by 13 points this year.
To put things in perspective, Democrats won the national popular vote for the House in 2018—the last big “blue wave”—by 8.6 points. The measures above all suggest a similar landslide, and perhaps an even bigger one.
But as with everything in politics, there’s always uncertainty. There’s no such thing as an iron-clad forecast. That’s why smart campaigners never take anything for granted and always run through the tape as hard as they can.
So as we head down the final stretch, Democrats should be feeling the wind at their backs—but there’s always more work to be done.
Sincerely,
David Nir

Matt Philibert is headed to the general election for Wisconsin State Assembly District 98. His theory of change is simple: the state level is where real change happens, so that’s where he’s running. He wants a Wisconsin government that works for its people, not just its billionaires, which in the current climate counts as a bold platform.

Your Campaign’s Legacy is Infrastructure
Win or lose, the lists, data, and relationships your campaign built can power your next race, your first term, or the next Democrat on your ballot. That only happens if someone plans for it before the campaign closes up shop. Start your handoff plan now, while your team is still in the building.

DTC for GOTV: A Campaign Resource
Your volunteers are the engine of your GOTV push, and they want to help you win. The best thing you can do for them is make sure they feel confident before they knock on a single door, so nobody spends their first shift figuring out the clipboard. That’s the idea behind our new resource.
THIS WEEK’S WINS
While the news may seem bleak, here’s what we can win when we organize and show up
California just made ballot interference a felony and made voter suppression easier to fight in court. With 80% of Californians voting by mail, the administration’s favorite target just got armor.
Nurses in Kalispell, MT led their own bargaining and locked in an 18% raise upfront. They closed the deal in four months, down from two and a half years for their first contract. You can’t get a clearer example of the power of organizing than this.
One assemblymember got gouged on Hollywood Bowl tickets and turned it into a state law banning the sale of tickets the seller doesn’t own. Now maybe more working class folks can hear what Taylor Swift’s Cleveland! actually sounds like live.

Happy Thursday!
We’re in the final stretch before Election Day, and we wanted to take a moment to say: whatever it looks like in your county right now, door knocking in the evenings, chasing down volunteers, keeping candidates’ spirits up, you should be proud of how far you’ve brought your team.
Local party leadership is some of the hardest, thankless work in this whole process, and it matters enormously.
If we haven’t connected yet, my name is Jocelyn, and I work with the National Democratic Training Committee (NDTC). We’re the largest Democratic training organization that helps candidates, campaign staff, and party volunteers build the practical skills needed to run and win. All for free!
With Election Day close, we wanted to make sure you knew about our last-minute GOTV resource: NDTC’s GOTV Campaign Resource It’s designed to be quick to use under time pressure. It includes things like volunteer phone-and-text scripts, poll-watching basics, and Election Day logistics checklists.
If there’s anything else you or your candidates need in these final days, just reply to this email and let us know! We’re glad to point you to the right resources or get someone on a quick call with your team.
Thank you for everything you’re doing. We’re rooting for you.
Best,

Your volunteers are at the heart of your GOTV push, and they’re excited to help you win. The best way to support them is to make sure they feel confident before they knock on a single door, so they can hit the ground running from the first minute.
That’s the idea behind NDTC for GOTV: A Campaign Resource. It’s a step-by-step guide for organizers and campaign staff who need to get their volunteer team prepped for GOTV canvassing quickly.
Here’s what’s inside:
- An email your team can send to canvassers. It’s already written, so they only need to personalize it and send.
- MiniVAN setup help, including a printable one-pager, so volunteers can learn the app before canvass day.
- A GOTV toolkit with planning tools, and our recommended courses and live trainings for you and your team.
Work through it step by step, and by your first GOTV canvass, your volunteers will be ready to go!
Let’s get out the vote,

last week I testified before the U.S. Senate about Flock and other automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and how dangerous the nationwide surveillance network they’ve built is for our privacy and our democracy. I came with one demand: Congress must ban these cameras – full stop.
Whether it’s Flock, Axon, Motorola, or another company’s cameras that are watching, the problems are the same. They’ve created an unaccountable mass surveillance system that spies on us as we go to the doctors, drop our kids at school, attend religious services, and makes it easy for law enforcement to piece together where any of us might be at any time – regardless if we’ve been suspected of any wrongdoing.
These cameras are dangerous when they work and when they don’t. Every day, there are new reports of police officers across the country using these ALPRs to stalk their partners and intimidate people who criticize them. There are also more and more reports of these cameras getting it wrong – with one Florida woman spending more than 3 days in solitary confinement and months in legal hell for a crime she didn’t commit. This isn’t technology that can be regulated into safety – it needs to be banned.
The good news: More than 200 municipalities have already cut ties with Flock and other ALPR companies because the threat to our privacy is that clear.
Last week, I went to Congress and told them directly how dangerous this mass surveillance technology is to every person in America. Now, your members of Congress need to hear from you. Tell them it’s time to protect our privacy and ban automatic license plate readers for good.
Thanks for being in this fight with us,

Some of the content you see could be misinformation. The question is, will you be able to recognize and respond to misinformation you see during election season?
Across four quick lessons, you’ll learn how to better identify misinformation, hear directly from ACLU experts, and get resources you can actually use and share.
The Democracy Download is here to help you spot misinformation, understand your voting rights, and head into November ready to make your voice heard.

As part of Congressional Black Caucus week in Washington, D.C., we just held our Divine Nine Candidate Training for Black women sorority members and it was so powerful we had to show you!
In this training, Meeting the Moment: From Sorority Leadership to Elected Office, participants explored the issues that matter most to them and identified ways to deepen their civic and political involvement in their own communities.
They also learned concrete steps they can take to pursue an appointment to a board or commission, participate in local and statewide policymaking, and move toward running for office.
Thank you to everyone who attended. Here are some of our favorite photos from the event!
PS: Support us with a donation of $5 or more, to train more Black and Brown women to run for office!

On Thursday, October 8, women are rising up across the country for a day of rage against rape.
We are rising up because we are sick of it all. Sick of the shame. Sick of the cover-ups. Sick of the injustice. Sick of the ol’ boys club. From the classroom to the courtroom, women face relentless violence. On Thursday, they will feel our wrath.
We need to turn out and turn up for Cornell’s Jane Doe. For LSU’s Kendall Francis. For every survivor of rape. We must create a wave of rage that they cannot ignore.
Together in rage,
Women’s March

Trigger warning: this email contains content about sexual violence.
We are f*cking livid about what happened to Jane Doe at Cornell University. So on October 8, we’re taking our rage to the streets.
On the call, you’ll hear from Women’s March and our partners at me too. International, FEMINIST, and Feminist Generation. We’ll discuss the plan to demand justice and accountability for Jane Doe and for every survivor on October 8.
We are done watching rapists be protected while survivors are punished. Cornell did it to Jane Doe, LSU did it to Kendall Francis, and abusers in power do it on every campus, in every courtroom, in every office, all the way up to the Oval Office.
From the frat house to the White House, we’re taking them all down.
In rage and solidarity,

Dear MoveOn member,
This isn’t hyperbole: Our country is on a knife’s edge.
On one side is democracy—the messy, loud, beautiful idea that power belongs to the people and that every one of us gets a say.
On the other side is authoritarianism. And it has powerful friends.
MAGA billionaires. Big Tech oligarchs. The richest, most connected people on the planet have decided that a country run by and for them is a better deal than a country run by and for us. They’re building the platforms that shape what we see and believe. They’re pouring millions into buying our elections, while our government rolls back voting rights and makes voting harder for millions of Americans.
They have more money than we could ever raise. They have more lawyers, more lobbyists, more algorithms.
But here’s what they don’t have: us.
There are millions more of us than there are of them. And when we act together, our power is bigger than anything their money can buy. We’ve proven it. No Kings in March was the largest single-day protest in American history.
The question has never been whether we have more power. It’s whether we’ll use it.
On October 17, we will.
No Kings: Vote Early is a nationwide day of action to turn people power into voter power, and MoveOn is essential to making it happen. We’re one of the core organizations coordinating No Kings, and our team is the one working directly with the volunteer hosts who will make October 17 a reality in communities across the country. Without that support, volunteers on the ground simply can’t organize it all on their own. Events won’t be as strong, and they won’t reach as many people.
Chip in $9 right now to power No Kings: Vote Early on October 17.
Here’s what makes October 17 so powerful: Voting is contagious.
People don’t decide in a vacuum whether to vote. We take our cues from the people around us—our neighbors, our friends, and our families. When voting feels like something “people like us” do, we’re more likely to do it too.
Researchers have found this again and again: Seeing others vote, or simply hearing that they plan to, makes people more likely to vote themselves. The effect even spreads within households. When one person is encouraged to vote, the people they live with become more likely to vote as well.1
That’s why October 17 is designed to make early voting visible, social, and impossible to miss:
- Loud, visible rallies in town squares and busy intersections, reaching people walking by who aren’t sure they’ll vote this year.
- Block parties and park parties with music, art, and speakers, where neighbors cheer for people who’ve already voted and help everyone else make a plan to vote early.
- Backyard cookouts and potlucks where food brings the whole street together.
- Honk-and-waves and overpass signs telling entire communities when early voting opens and how to do it.
- Walks to the polls where run clubs, book clubs, knitting circles, and pickleball groups go out and vote together.
- Human formations spelling “VOTE” big enough to see from the sky when photographed from above.
Every person who votes early on October 17 becomes a signal to everyone they know. One voter becomes a household. A household becomes a block. A block becomes a movement.
And at every event, event leads will sign people up to protect the vote, because when our elections are under threat, it’s up to all of us to ensure that every vote is counted.
That’s what the oligarchs are afraid of: ordinary people, in every corner of the country, showing up for each other.
But we need your financial support to pull it off. MoveOn’s team is working one-on-one with volunteer hosts across the country. We get them set up, train them, safety-plan with them, and make sure every event has what it needs to succeed. It’s unglamorous work. It’s also the difference between an idea and a movement.
The billionaires are betting that we’ll stay home, that we’ll be too tired, too cynical, or too focused on doomscrolling to show up.
Let’s prove them wrong, together.
Thanks for all you do.
–Adrienne, Emily, Alexis, Kenia, and the rest of the team

- Backyard cookouts and potlucks where free food brings the whole street together.
- Honk-and-waves and overpass signs telling entire communities when early voting opens and how to do it.
- Walks to the polls where run clubs, book clubs, knitting circles, and pickleball groups go out and vote together.
- Human formations spelling VOTE photographed from above, big enough to see from the sky.
Every person who votes early on October 17 becomes a signal to everyone they know. One voter becomes a household. A household becomes a block. A block becomes a movement.
And at every event, event leads will sign people up to protect the vote, because when our elections are under threat, it’s up to all of us to ensure every vote is counted.
That’s what the oligarchs are afraid of: ordinary people, in every corner of the country, showing up for each other.
But we need your financial support to pull it off. MoveOn’s team is working one-on-one with volunteer hosts across the country. We get them set up, train them, safety-plan with them, and make sure every event has what it needs to succeed. It’s unglamorous work. It’s also the difference between an idea and a movement.
The billionaires are betting that we’ll stay home, that we’ll be too tired, too cynical, or too focused on doomscrolling to show up.
Let’s prove them wrong, together.
Thanks for all you do.
–Adrienne, Emily, Alexis, Kenia, and the rest of the team

March For Our Lives Virtual Events
In a news cycle that can so often feel overwhelming, I wanted to drop into your inbox today with something we don’t get to share often enough: proof of real, life-saving progress.
This week, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a comprehensive new package of gun safety laws in California.
These aren’t just symbolic bills. They hit the issue from every angle — shutting down dangerous loopholes, tackling emerging threats like untraceable 3D-printed firearms, expanding safe storage programs, and delivering crucial behavioral health resources to young people exposed to violence.
It’s easy to feel like the fight against gun violence is an uphill battle. But when you look at what’s happening in California, the impact of grassroots organizing and youth leadership becomes impossible to ignore:
- California is ranked #1 in the nation for gun law strength by both Giffords and Everytown.
- Gun death rates in California reached an all-time low in 2024 — standing 49% below the national average.
- Firearm homicides dropped 19% in 2025, with youth firearm homicide rates nearly half that of the rest of the country.
- Over the last three years, Protection Orders were actively used to help prevent 58 threatened mass shootings.
If every state in the country matched California’s gun safety standards, nearly 160,000 lives could have been saved over the last decade.
Think about what that number means. Those are real people — classmates, siblings, friends, and neighbors — who would still be here today.
This is what happens when survivors, organizers, and young people refuse to back down. It’s proof that when we demand accountability and push for real solutions, the system can change.
California is setting the blueprint, but our work won’t be done until every single community in every single state is safe from gun violence. Will you add your name in support and to demand comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation from leaders across the country?
We have a long road ahead, but today, let’s take a moment to celebrate what momentum looks like. Thank you for standing with us in this fight every single day.
In solidarity,
Jackie Corin

Nine years ago today, a country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, turned into the site of the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in modern American history.
In a matter of minutes, 60 precious lives were stolen, over 800 people were injured, and thousands of survivors, first responders, and families were left carrying invisible wounds that endure to this day.

We hold space for every single one of the 60 victims, their loved ones, and the hundreds of survivors who wake up every day carrying the weight of October 1, 2017.
#VegasStrong is much more than a hashtag. It’s a testament to human resilience. Organizations like the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center step up to offer victim advocacy, counseling, and legal support, proving that even in our darkest moments, community and compassion prevails.
We owe it to the victims of Route 91, to their loved ones, and to every young person in this country who deserves to live without fear, to build a future free from mass gun violence. Anger and grief sparked our movement, but it is hope, relentless action, and community support that keep us moving forward.
At March for Our Lives, we believe that remembering is essential. But memory without action leaves us vulnerable to repeating the past.
Every single day, our youth organizers are training student leaders, pushing back against corporate gun lobbyists, and fighting for real accountability to make sure no other community has to endure what Las Vegas did.
Thank you for standing with us, remembering with us, and believing in what we can achieve when we unite.
With love and resolve,
March For Our Lives
P.S. If you or someone you know was affected by the Route 91 tragedy or any incident of mass violence, self-help tools like the Transcend NMVC app and direct support through the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center are available to assist in the healing process. You are never alone.

t’s go time, y’all. Right now, MAGA is in charge of the presidency, House, and Senate. Trump is in office for two more years, but this year we have the chance to take away a lot of his power to move MAGA legislation through Congress– billions for ICE and border patrol, cutting public health services, tax breaks for Wall Street and tech bros, and new fresh horrors each week.
We’re ready to meet the moment and make sure we do our part to reach hundreds of thousands of white working class voters– and we need your help to do it!
Today we’re kicking off our 2026 Grassroots Fundraising Drive where over the next ten days, we’re raising $75,000 before the midterm election. We already raised over $10,000 on our call on Monday with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi– can you make your first donation to SURJ today to make sure we show up and reach as many white voters as possible in the next 33 days?
As you know, we work alongside our partners to identify our slice of the electoral pie: a strategic set of districts where white communities could quite literally decide the outcome of the election. This year, our members are taking responsibility for contacting 325,000 working class white voters in the Southern states of North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee, and also in Maine, Michigan, and California.
And then we’re organizing hundreds of locations across the country through our Block by Block program to show up and protect election results.
It’s white people’s responsibility to organize our own– and that includes funding this work! You’ll be hearing about our drive over the next ten days– can you help us get started by giving a gift today?
In solidarity–
SURJ

We hope you can join us tonight, September 28th at 8pm ET/5pm PT for “How to be antiracist in 2026”, a webinar with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi! We’ll be talking about his latest book, Chain of Ideas: the Origins of Our Authoritarian Age, a deep-dive on the startling effectiveness of the use of the “Great Replacement Theory” over time and in this moment. In his book, Dr. Kendi charts the steps– what he calls “the chain of ideas”– that authoritarians have built to create the conditions for authoritarianism to thrive.
Dr. Kendi’s first two books, Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be Antiracist, were crucial guides for millions of people during pivotal moments in American politics, from Ferguson in 2016 to the summer of 2020. Chain of Ideas: the Roots of Our Authoritarian Age contains important lessons for white antiracists about the history and psychology around why authoritarianism is appealing to white people, and what we can do to combat it.
On tonight’s call, we’ll talk about how MAGA and the Trump regime use “the chain of ideas” to drive us apart, what it will take to understand ourselves as more deeply connected, and get into the particular role and responsibility that white Americans have in this work. Can you join us for this important conversation?
Can’t make it? Register for the event and we’ll send you a recording in a few days.
P.S. If you’re a National Member or leader, join us directly after the call at 9pm ET for an exclusive Q&A with Dr. Kendi! Click here to register!

Republicans are pouring millions into races up and down the ballot, from national to local levels. Because they know their time in power is coming to an end.
But in order to secure state power, our candidates in critical Red-to-Blue races need all the support they can get. With the right resources behind young leaders who refuse to be bought by corporate interests or right wing billionaire donors, and a message that truly connects with working people’s priorities, we can flip these seats.
That’s exactly why our Red-to-Blue Fund exists — to empower bold, young candidates competing in the most critical districts across the country.
In a must-win election year, these are the races that are essential to break GOP supermajorities and flip state legislatures. Here are a few of the candidates leading that fight:
⭐Cat Clayton for Missouri, HD-105 ⭐️
⭐Claire Heinrich for Missouri, HD-110 ⭐
⭐ Leila Staton for Iowa, HD-54 ⭐
⭐ Nabeela Syed for Illinois, SD-26 ⭐️
⭐ Trevor Jung for Wisconsin, SD-21 ⭐
Cat Clayton is a software engineer who has built her career around solving complex issues through collaborative problem solving and careful analysis, and she hopes to bring those skills to MO District 105. She’s tired of watching politicians overturn the will of the people and watching division and misinformation take priority over community good.
The Missouri House is currently in a GOP supermajority. Cat is running to defeat Republican incumbent Colin Wellenkamp and restore balance and accountability to the state house. Cat hopes to bring common sense, compassion, and respect back into government, but she needs your support to help flip this seat.
Claire Heinrich was compelled to run for office after watching her representatives ignore constituents and overturn the will of voters. She currently works for a St. Louis nonprofit that teaches middle- and high-school students about active citizenship and problem solving. Claire is driven by her commitment to building stronger communities, and in the Missouri House, she will advocate for investing in public education, infrastructure, and bringing true representation to her constituents.
Claire’s Republican opponent, Niles Stephens, is endorsed by the NRA and MO Right to Live, an anti-choice PAC. And he has aided in ending DEI programs and health education programs in public schools. It is critical that we flip this seat blue. Claire believes that public service should be about listening, showing up, and doing the work, and she needs your help to bring that passion to MO HD-110.
At just 22, Leila Staton is the founder of a local advocacy organization that focuses on civic education and engagement. She’s been a dedicated public servant since childhood, and hopes to take that service to the next level by flipping Iowa’s House District 54. Leila is fighting for a government that puts people over profits, community over corporations, and truth over power.
Joshua Meggers is the Republican incumbent in the district. Leila needs your support to flip this seat blue and advocate for public education, clean water, expanding healthcare, and protecting family farms in Iowa’s 54th State House District.
Nabeela Syed made history as the youngest member elected to the Illinois legislature, and is a current member of the Illinois State House with the drive to continue her work in the State Senate. In the State House, she has passed legislation to cap prescription drug prices, expand breast cancer screening, increase voter accessibility for young people, and secured paid leave for organ donors. Fun fact, Nabeela was the first state legislative candidate I ever campaigned for! I was in college at the time, and years later when we started Leaders We Deserve, Nabeela was one of the inspirations for the organization.
The seat is currently held by Republican Darby Hills and Nabeela needs support to flip this seat. She’s already proven her commitment to fighting and advocating for her community, and is ready to continue being a hardworking and authentic voice in the State Senate.
Trevor Jung currently serves as the City of Racine’s Director of Transit and Mobility, and he’s ready to continue delivering for Wisconsin in the State Senate. He’ll fight to lower costs while raising incomes, provide protections from data center costs, support Veteran programs, and hold Big Tech and Social Media companies accountable.
This seat is currently held by a Republican, and Jim Croft is running to keep it red. So Trevor needs your support to flip this seat and continue making families, neighbors, and communities the priority. This race is especially important to breaking the Republican majority in the State Senate to ensure Wisconsin isn’t the next stop on the GOP’s gerrymandering campaign.
Flipping these red seats blue is absolutely critical to building state legislative power across Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. But these are the kind of bold progressive candidates right-wing billionaires and the corporate machine will come after. That’s why I’m asking for your support today — we need grassroots supporters like you showing up to have these leaders’ backs.
Will you make a $25 contribution to our Red to Blue Fund today?
Thank you,
David Hogg

I’m going to be straight with you:
A couple weeks ago, we launched our Red-to-Blue Fund to go all in for our endorsed candidates in competitive flip districts across the country.
So far, we’ve raised about $12,500 toward our $100,000 goal. We still have a lot of ground to cover, and with just 35 days left until Election Day, we could really use your support right now. Rush a $25 or more contribution now to help us get there.
Here’s what our fundraising gap really means: it’s the difference between a candidate who can afford a full scale ground game, knocking on every door in their district, and one who can only send their team to knock half of them.
This money can make the biggest difference in the races that get the least attention: like many flippable U.S. House seats and especially races at the state legislature level. National media covers the Senate and Governors’ races around the clock, but state legislative races often have trouble getting the attention of even state or local media, which means many voters don’t even know who’s on the ballot. That gap shows up as down-ballot roll-off, and it’s a chronic problem for Democrats in states across the country.
In one of Leaders We Deserve’s target red-to-blue races in Florida last cycle, we saw exactly how much down-ballot roll-off cost us. While Vice President Harris carried the district, thousands of Harris voters didn’t vote all the way down the ballot and our endorsed candidate lost by just 485 votes. That’s a margin clearly decided by roll-off.
This cycle, we’re working to flip that same seat, and the polling shows it’s within reach. But we need to ensure our candidate, Dr. Jane Aman, has the resources she needs to have enough canvassers knocking doors every day to get her message out to voters across the district. And that’s just one example of how your donation to our Red-to-Blue Fund could power the next generation of bold, young Democrats to victory in November.
We can’t afford to come up short in any of these critical races. If you can, please chip in $25, or whatever you can give today to help us close the gap. We’ve got some tough fights ahead, and your support will give our candidates the boost they need to flip state legislatures blue and take back Congress.
Thank you for your support.

Uplift National Head Start Awareness Month this October by taking action to protect this critical program!
Tell Congress: Call on HHS to stop RFK’s attacks on Head Start!
A federally funded, community-based program, Head Start has provided over 40 million children with quality child care, healthy meals, medical screenings, and early developmental support services (and so much more!) over the last 60-plus years. Yet instead of helping kids who need it most by supporting Head Start, Secretary RFK Jr. is proposing deregulating and gutting core standards that would put the program at serious risk.
For decades, Head Start has provided services for vulnerable children from low-income households, children facing homelessness, and those in foster care, helping to break cycles of poverty. In fact, low-income children who attend Head Start are almost 3% more likely to graduate from high school, 8.5% more likely to enroll in college, and 39% more likely to graduate from college.[1] These proposed changes would especially harm the children eligible for Head Start who need the most support, kids with special needs, by allowing for larger classes, less protective staff-to-child ratios, and reduced specialized supports.
The letter we are sending the U.S. Congress states the following:
Dear Representative Dan Newhouse and Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell,
Last weekend the Administration announced the firing of hundreds of Department of Education federal staff who provide critical educational access support for children with disabilities. This means fewer protections when students with disabilities face exclusion, harassment, discriminatory discipline, and barriers to access and inclusion in education. Without federal oversight, states could begin ignoring or weakening disability rights laws altogether.
The Education Department already severed nearly half of its staff this past March and now have laid off just about every employee responsible for administering funding and overseeing the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which serves more than 8 million children nationwide.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has provided access to free, quality education to children with disabilities, early intervention support for infants, toddlers, and their families, and ensured access to special education & critical supportive services since 1975. Prior to the protections enacted by this landmark legislation, U.S. public schools accommodated just 1 out of 5 children with disabilities and many states even had laws excluding students with disabilities! 3.5 million disabled children who attended school were forced into segregated facilities that provided little or no effective instruction and 1.8 million children with disabilities had no access to the public school system at all.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the IDEA yet instead of celebrating progress, our nation is facing the dismantling of the very infrastructure created to protect children with disabilities, pushing millions of children back to a time of segregation and systemic refusal to provide educational opportunities.
Congress has a long bipartisan history of funding federal efforts to ensure children with disabilities can equally access education, this is why it is crucial that elected officials such as yourself help fulfill this essential congressional role of funding & overseeing these programs—and hold the Department of Education accountable. The Department of Education is meant to be the keeper of IDEA’s promise, not the architect of its demise.
We urge you to put pressure on the Trump administration to reinstate staff and transparency at the Department of Education and help right this egregious wrong and protect children with disabilities throughout the nation who depend on these critical programs to learn, grow and thrive.
Join us to rise together and protect the services kids and families need. Thank you for all that you do!

Today, International Safe Abortion Day, we are fighting back against growing attacks on abortion care and working to protect access to medication abortion—including care delivered safely through telehealth.
Stand with us to fight for the rights of women and moms. Sign our letter to Congress now!
Every person deserves the freedom to make their own choices about their body, health, and future. And everyone should be able to decide if they’re having children, and if so, when and how many. But right now, politicians are taking those choices away—and the cost is deadly.
We are already seeing the devastating real-world impact of abortion bans. Moms like Amber Nicole Thurman and Police Officer Ciji Graham lost their lives because state bans created fear, delayed urgent hospital care, and blocked access to timely, safe medical treatment. [1, 2] No one should die because politicians interfered with basic medical care.
Tell Congress to ensure that people have the power to make medical decisions about their own bodies!
Medication abortion using mifepristone is a trusted and effective way to end a pregnancy and treat medical needs. Today, nearly 25% of all abortion care in the U.S. happens through telehealth. [3] Doctors work virtually with patients to assess their health, mail necessary medications, and provide follow-up care.
Want to hear the latest from a U.S. Senator?
For millions of people, telehealth is a lifesaver. It gives people access to care when they:
- Live in states with abortion bans or in rural areas far from clinics.
- Cannot afford travel, time off work, or child care.
- Need fast, confidential, and safe care.
Science proves that medication abortion through telehealth is just as safe and effective as in-person care. [4] Yet, anti-abortion politicians continue to spread fake science, file lawsuits, and push the courts and the FDA to ban these proven medications nationwide.
They did not stop at overturning Roe v. Wade, and they will not stop until they have total control over our health decisions.
Decisions about health belong to patients and their doctors—not politicians or judges.
Thanks for all you do,
