Volunteers are a cornerstone of successful campaigns. Before someone says yes to volunteering for you, they need to buy into your vision. They need to know why you’re running, and how you’re going to improve the community. Effectively communicating your message is key to getting people to believe in you and motivate them to put their time and energy into helping you get elected. If this sounds remotely overwhelming, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered:
For volunteers to be successful, each and every volunteer will need to be trained. Training sets the tone and expectations you have of your team. It also gives them the tools and knowledge they need to meet those expectations. The more robust and frequent your volunteer trainings are, you can expand your campaign’s capacity without using up limited resources. Your volunteers can now take what they’ve learned and train others. They’ve officially become organizers within their communities. How cool is that? To find out more, join us at July 17 at 6 PM EST so you can recruit and train the best volunteers. See you there! -NDTC

10. July 2024 · Comments Off on Women’s March – BREAKING: New articles of impeachment against Justice Thomas and Justice Alito · Categories: Announcements
BREAKING: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has just introduced articles of impeachment in the US House of Representatives against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for abusing their powers to protect and advance their own personal interests. The articles of impeachment state that both Thomas and Alito must be removed from their positions on the Supreme Court for “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” under Article II of the Constitution.
ProPublica reported in April 2023 that Justice Thomas has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts and financial benefits from billionaire Harlan Crow and other right-wing benefactors with business before the Supreme Court. Several additional instances of undisclosed gifts have come to light since then. Justice Alito has also been found to have taken undisclosed gifts from conservative backers. Further, Justice Alito displayed insurrectionist flags aligned with the Stop the Steal movement and other far-right groups outside two of his homes. Both Thomas and Alito refused to recuse themselves from cases related to the January 6th insurrection and other efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, despite clear bias.
The Framers of our Constitution called on Congress specifically to hold judicial officers, including Supreme Court justices, accountable for high crimes and misdemeanors that compromise the integrity of the Court. Given the compelling evidence against Justice Thomas and Justice Alito for repeated transgressions fitting this description, it is imperative that the Judiciary Committee promptly begin impeachment proceedings against them.

This term has been full of landmark rulings by the Supreme Court on issues that will shape the legal landscape and the civil liberties of millions for generations to come – from voting rights to reproductive freedom, and most notably, presidential immunity.
Now that the Supreme Court is in recess for the summer, it’s time to reflect on the major cases SCOTUS has ruled on so far and look ahead to the important cases coming down the pike.

Cecillia Wang, ACLU Deputy Legal Director
We will also share a special recorded message for supporters from Academy Award-winning actor, Ariana DeBose, the ACLU’s Artist Ambassador for Voting Rights.
You’ll leave this briefing with a better understanding of the state of civil liberties in the wake of a contentious Supreme Court term, key cases to watch out for next term, and how you can stay involved in the coming months.
P.S. This event will have an ASL interpreter as well as live captioning available. If you would like to request other reasonable accommodations for this event, please email us at TownHall@aclu.org as soon as possible.

Here’s what The Seattle Times had to say about Bob in their endorsement:
“… Bob Ferguson is smart, hardworking and fearless. … His experience as state attorney general, his detailed policy positions, and his willingness to tackle tough issues give him the edge in a crowded field.”
Meanwhile, the Seattle Times highlighted that anti-choice Republican Dave Reichert “offered conflicting views on a wide range of issues, saying one thing to the editorial board and another to his supporters.”
And he wants to be Governor?
Dave Reichert isn’t being honest with the people of Washington State. This endorsement is big, but we need your help to make sure voters know the real Dave Reichert.

08. July 2024 · Comments Off on Women’s March – BREAKING: Trump wants to walk it all back · Categories: Announcements
The fascist right-wing agenda that MAGA is pushing is wildly unpopular, and they know this. They don’t care about democracy or the will of the people. But they do know that, while Americans still have our voting rights and free and fair elections, they will have to lie in order to win this campaign. The Trump campaign is demanding a revised GOP platform that better hides their true aims. So it is on us to remind the American people who they really are.
We know you are already on board, but if there are people in your life who need reminding, here are the facts:
Trump has publicly taken credit for overturning Roe v. Wade, as he should — he appointed the three justices (Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett) needed to end half a century of abortion protections for women in the U.S.
Trump and his cronies have used inflammatory and violent rhetoric to vilify abortion and those who provide it, including Trump stating “there has to be some sort of punishment” for women who have abortions.
Trump has endorsed and promoted state laws that impose severe abortion restrictions, including six-week bans that effectively outlaw abortion before many women realize they are pregnant
Trump’s presidency has been the single most catastrophic event for reproductive freedom in our lifetimes. We need to make this clear, over and over again, so that no one can forget it.
Women’s March is a 501c(4) organization. Your generous support helps us prepare for fights we see coming and those we don’t. Donations are not tax-deductible. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible gift, we encourage you to support the Women’s March Network. Gifts to the Network support our organizing, communications, advocacy, and public education efforts.
$25. One time. That’s how much we’re asking grassroots supporters to give right now.
Trump’s FEC filing reveals that he has closed the fundraising gap with our campaign after far-right billionaire donors flooded his campaign coffers with millions and millions of dollars following his conviction. And if that wasn’t bad enough, new reporting revealed a mega-donor gave $50 MILLION to Trump’s super PAC.
If that’s all you need to hear, please use the link below to rush a donation to help us defeat Trump again:
As you read this, President Biden is already getting pummeled on the internet and across the airwaves by Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies.
They’re taking over Fox News. They’re taking over social media. They’re taking over advertising time. It’s wall-to-wall news coverage.
It’s only going to get worse after this massive $50 MILLION influx of cash to Donald Trump’s super PAC. That’s why we’re asking for your immediate support to fight back and break through the lies and attacks.
Look, we know that $25 doesn’t seem like much in the face of Trump’s millions.
But we promise that your $25 — matched with the support of the thousands of people who are chipping in right now — makes all the difference.
Your $25 is how we harness the news cycle and retake the narrative — and do all the other things necessary to win this race.
It all adds up when we work together. And that’s exactly how we’re going to defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA extremists again.
One $25 donation. We’re counting on you. The President is counting on you. So please:
