Hello friends and advocates,
Last Monday, the Governor made a choice to protect the wealth of a few instead of the health and wellbeing of our communities.
By refusing to support a wealth tax in Washington, the Governor is handing this budget debate back to lawmakers with one clear message: more cuts to critical programs are coming. These cuts put every program that supports vulnerable community members at risk — from youth education, elder care, and resources for those who are houseless, to life-saving programs that we have fought for like Apple Health Expansion.
Unless we act now.
Let’s be clear, this isn’t just a policy debate. This is about the lives of our neighbors, our elders, and our children. Health care is a human right, not a bargaining chip. By refusing to consider all options for increasing revenue including making the ultra rich pay their fair share, our state has chosen to balance the budget on the backs of immigrant communities and working people—many of whom are already pushed to the margins—by cutting many of the programs we depend on.
That’s why the Health Equity for Immigrants Campaign has launched an email campaign to flood the inboxes of budget writers with one unified message: immigrant healthcare is non-negotiable and Apple Health Expansion must be off the chopping block and be fully funded.
Together, we can remind our electeds that immigrant justice isn’t negotiable, it’s necessary.
In community,
Sasha Wasserstrom
Pronouns: They/Them

[English Above]
Estimados amigos y defensores de la justica,
El lunes pasado, el Gobernador optó por proteger la riqueza de unos pocos en lugar de la salud y el bienestar de nuestras comunidades.
Al no apoyar un impuesto para las personas ricas en el estado de Washington, el Gobernador devolvió el debate presupuestario a los legisladores con un mensaje claro: se avecinan más recortes a programas esenciales. Estos recortes afectan todos los programas que apoyan a los miembros vulnerables de la comunidad – programas que apoyan la educación de nuestros jóvenes, el cuidado de nuestros mayores y los recursos para aquellos que no tienen vivienda, así como programas que salvan vidas por los que las comunidades de inmigrantes han luchado como la Expansión de Apple Health.
A menos que tomemos acción ahora.
Que quede claro, no se trata sólo de un debate político. Se trata de las vidas de nuestros vecinos, las personas mayores y nuestros hijos. La atención médica es un derecho humano, no es negociable. Al negarse a considerar todas las opciones para aumentar los fondos, incluyendo hacer que los ultra ricos paguen su parte justa, nuestro estado ha optado por equilibrar el presupuesto a expensas de las comunidades de inmigrantes y de los trabajadores -muchos de los cuales ya están siendo marginados- recortando muchos de los programas de los que dependemos.
Por esta razón, la Campaña de Igualdad en la Salud para los Inmigrantes ha lanzado una campaña de correo electrónico para hacer llegar un mensaje unificado a quienes son responsables por el presupuesto: la atención médica para los inmigrantes no es negociable y la Expansión de Apple Health debe mantenerse totalmente financiada y fuera de recortes.
Juntos podemos recordarle a nuestros representantes electos que la justicia para los inmigrantes no es negociable, es necesaria.
En comunidad,
Sasha Wasserstrom

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.

Since the start of his second term, Trump has waged attacks designed to roll back the progress we’ve made in the fight to end gun violence.
- Trump eliminated the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
- Trump erased critical public health data on gun violence from federal websites.
- And earlier this month, Trump directed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to terminate its zero-tolerance policy, which risks letting negligent firearm dealers off the hook.
These moves make clear that the Trump administration has failed to prioritize your families’ safety, and we cannot afford to run the risk of waiting for action from Washington.
That’s why the Alliance for Gun Responsibility is fighting harder than ever at the state level — where real change is still possible, and where we have a proven track record of success.
And the winnable fights we’re waging in the states are for our effective, commonsense policies like keeping firearms away from dangerous people and out of public spaces like parks and playgrounds, updating our background check system, mandating firearm safety and training and advocating for investments in community-based solutions.
But we want to know what you think.
Take our one-minute survey to tell us which gun violence prevention priorities matter most to you.
Your voice will help shape our next steps — and ensure we’re fighting for the solutions our communities urgently need.
Together, we can move forward — even when Washington tries to drag us back.
Thank you for being in this fight with us,
The Alliance
ALLIANCE FOR GUN RESPONSIBILITY
P.O. Box 4187 Seattle, WA 98194
At the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, we wake up every day with the same goal: making our communities safer for everyone.
That means fighting for smart, commonsense policies that keep firearms out of the wrong hands. It means closing dangerous loopholes, restricting access to assault weapons, instituting more rigorous background checks and safety training, and standing up to the gun lobby.
We’ve made real progress in Washington. Our state has passed some of the strongest gun responsibility laws in the country. But as long as lives are still being lost to senseless and preventable gun violence, our work is not over.
The gun lobby is well-funded and relentless. They will keep trying to roll back all of the progress we have made, putting their own profits above human lives — and they’re counting on us to get tired, to slow down, to give up.
But we won’t. Not when we know what we’re doing works. Not when we know that commonsense gun laws save lives, and not when we’ve made so much progress passing these laws in Washington state even as federal lawmakers flounder.
Your support allows us to advocate, to educate, and to push lawmakers to act with courage and urgency.
Thank you for standing with us — this work wouldn’t be possible without you.

We Want You There Thursday!
Do you live in the Tri-Cities area? If so, please join us this Thursday at John Dam Plaza Park. People who voted for Rep. Newhouse are coming together to show him that when we voted for him, we did not vote for him to cut health care!
WHERE: John Dam Plaza Park, 815 George Washington Way, Richland
WHEN: Thursday, April 24th, 11am – 12pm (arrive by 10:45 please)
WHO: People who voted for Rep. Newhouse and oppose any cuts to Medicaid and Apple Health
WHAT: We will be unveiling a HUGE scroll with the names of hundreds of Newhouse voters who oppose cuts to Medicaid.
Whether we’re Republican, Democrat, or Independent, Congressman Newhouse needs to hear from us, the people who voted him into office. We’re telling him:
I voted for you and I’m against any cuts to Medicaid. Cutting Medicaid would severely impact our communities and local economies, and nearly 300,000 Central Washingtonians who depend on it.
Please let me know if you’d like to speak to reporters about why you oppose cuts to Medicaid and Apple Health, especially if you voted for him.
Just reply to this email.

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

Join Our Next Call on April 30th 8pm EST!
Hello Indivisibles of the Red and Rural Caucus!
What does community mean to you today, and how do we build a strong community able to stand up in the face of the encroaching march of fascism on our nation?
We have seen incredible actions taking place around our nation in the past weeks as people come out en masse to say NO to Trump and Musk and their attempted coup on our democracy. But these actions are only one part of a good defense. Join the Indivisible Red and Rural Caucus for our April call where we will talk about taking hold of the energy and the mass mobilizations happening across the country, and turning that energy into positive changes for our communities. Want to hear even more about what folks in small town America have been up to in the last month?
As we get nearer to the month of May, we are ever closer to Memorial Day, a day to honor our fallen armed forces and veterans who have stood up and defended our nation. Now, under the Trump administration our veterans are at risk of losing their services and benefits that they earned by defending our nation.
Together, it’s our job to ensure that we have strong enough communities that are able to stand tall and take care of everyone, including our veterans. It falls to us to rebuild where our sense of community has been torn apart by the hate and division that Trump and his MAGA fascist agenda have been sowing in small town America. These divisions are hurting our red and rural communities disproportionately in comparison to our suburbs and urban communities, and when our red and rural communities are so divided, people get hurt. People like our Veterans and Armed Forces servicemen and women who have stood up for our nation and our rights and way of life.
Join us on Wednesday, April 30th at 8:00pm EST to continue down the road of rebuilding a sense of community and unity in small town America!

What’s On Our Newsfeeds
Why this story is important:
The Trump administration has been accused of ignoring or flat-out defying recent federal court orders, with two judges now weighing contempt findings against officials. Washington-based District Judge James Boasberg announced there is probable cause to find the government in contempt.
Why this story is important:
Newsom’s lawsuit, announced with CA Attorney General Rob Bonta, is the first challenge from a U.S. state against Trump’s signature foreign policy cudgel. California, the world’s fifth largest economy, stands to lose billions to tariffs with major state industries from Silicon Valley to agriculture heavily dependent on global trade.
Why this story is important:
More than 200,000 people have turned out to cheer on a fiery anti-Trump, anti-billionaire message from Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York during their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour of Western states.
Why this story is important:
The GOP-controlled House passed the SAVE Act, which will demand additional proof of voter registration. The problem? Half of all Americans may not have a passport. And 69 million American women’s married names may not match their birth certificates. All eyes are now on the Senate, where the bill goes next

Even before Inauguration Day, President Trump threatened to use the military here at home to carry out his anti-immigrant, anti-American agenda. Four months into his administration, and that’s exactly what’s unfolding.
Just last week, he gave the military authority to use public civilian lands along the border for “military activities” – affecting residents in cities like San Diego and El Paso. He’s adding more armed troops to already over-militarized communities without adequate training, guardrails, or concern for the 19 million people already living there. This is a recipe for disaster.
Using the military in service of a partisan political agenda could present us with a scene right out of a nightmare: One in which tanks roll down our streets and military troops police our communities at the president’s bidding.
This Sunday is supposed to be the deadline for Secretaries Hegseth and Noem to recommend whether the president should invoke the Insurrection Act. We don’t know if they’ll even make this report public, but we’ll be clear: Sending active-duty troops into our communities over a manufactured emergency would put lives in danger and place our troops in legal and ethical jeopardy. And regardless of whether President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, his repeated threats to use the military on American soil should set off alarm bells for all of us.
We’re calling on Congress to protect civilians in border states from Trump’s attempts to assert military control over their daily lives.
We’re putting everything we have into protecting all of our rights – and with the support of the ACLU community, we’re ready for whatever the Trump administration has in store.
Thanks for being in this fight with us,

For the last 20 years, Emerge has been building a nationwide movement to help strong Democratic women win elections and lead boldly at every level of government.
Next Wednesday, April 30th at 7 PM PT, we’re celebrating the incredible network of support we’ve built together at our 20th Anniversary Gala – and we want YOU to be a part of the celebration!
Trump’s extreme policies are hurting working families across the country and threatening the rights of women and marginalized communities. They are wasting no time, and we must be ready to fight back against any attacks that come our way.
More women are stepping up to run for office across the country every day. Your support enables us to make strategic investments as early as possible, allowing us to tap into this incredible grassroots energy, train strong women candidates, and secure critical wins in 2025 and beyond!
Emerge women are ready to lead, but we need your help to power our training and build a stronger pipeline for our alums to bring transformative leadership to elected office at every level of government.
Onward,

Right now, Donald Trump and his allies are pushing extreme policies aimed at rolling back women’s rights, willfully tanking the economy, and threatening funding for critical programs that support and uplift working families.
But here’s the good news: more women than ever before are stepping up to run for office!
As MAGA extremists try to undo decades of progress, our team here at Emerge is working to train the next class of Emerge women who will take a stand and defend the incredible progress we’ve made.
We’re building a pipeline of future leaders who are ready to join our alums in office to safeguard our most fundamental rights, defend our democracy, and fight for a future that works for all of us – not just the wealthy and powerful.
With over 1,200Emerge alums currently serving in office, we’re working to help elect even more women to join our alums on the front lines by giving them the tools, training, and support they need to run strong community-focused campaigns and win.
Can we count on you to make an investment today to help fuel our recruitment and training efforts to ensure that women aren’t just getting a seat at the table but are leading the charge forward to a brighter future?

TIME FOR A RAISE
A new study recently circulated on Bluesky examined the impact of higher pay rates on the hiring process, and discovered that — just as you might expect — when employers raise wages, they fill open positions more quickly. Or, as the study specifically found: raising pay by 4.3% reduces the time a job remains open by 27%.
It’s always helpful to have specific numbers for stuff like this, and the researchers here did a service. But this kind of study also raises the question of why it is that common sense assumptions which benefit workers apparently need to get tested and proven, while assumptions that benefit the wealthy few so often get treated like simple realities of the world. Why is it that we continue to live in a world where the impact of the minimum wage is a topic worth studying over and over and over again, while the impact of CEO pay is rarely even discussed?
Make it make sense.
in additional rent was paid by tenants to landlords who used the RealPage price-fixing algorithm to set their rents. Nationally, about 1 in 4 landlords use the software, which is the subject of a federal lawsuit for its anticompetitive nature.
believe that insurance companies denying claims have a “great deal” or “moderate amount” of responsibility for the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A similar number said excess health insurance company profits bear some responsibility.
are homeless in the USA, a record-high number which results from a record-fast increase over the previous year. However, homelessness among veterans has declined, due to a substantial federal investment in addressing that particular aspect of our affordable housing crisis.
One of the fundamental ideas of neoliberal economics is that markets are almost always right. According to Economics 101, when you aggregate millions of individual decisions to buy or sell various assets, a particular kind of predictive genius emerges. This is supposed to be a big part of what makes markets work, and why market economies are just oh-so-wonderful for everyone.
It’s a tidy theory, but if this were all true, one place you’d definitely expect to see it proven is in how markets anticipate the future direction of US interest rates. After all, this is one of the very biggest markets around, and one that has massive impacts on the valuations of almost every other asset out there. So it’s striking to see the chart below, which shows both the changing levels of interest rates in recent years, and a series of whiskers that show how the markets anticipated future rates would turn out to be. What stands out here immediately is how wildly and consistently wrong the markets have been — at basically all points this century so far. It’s enough to make you wonder what else isn’t quite how they taught it in Econ 101.
When the federal government issues fines for violations of securities law, the purpose is twofold. First, it’s supposed to provide restitution to anyone who lost money on account of the crime. Second, it’s supposed to penalize the lawbreaker in order to deter future violations by them or anyone else. That’s a big part of why hefty fines are often announced in major press releases: so legal consequences are highlighted, and social norms are strengthened.
But as Dave Michaels writes in the Wall Street Journal, $10 billion of these fines have gone uncollected for years — so long, in fact, that the SEC is giving up on collecting them. In one case, they’ve been seeking penalties from a particular financier for 31 years — since the beginning of the Clinton presidency! They even charged him with additional violations just last year. But the lawbreaker simply hasn’t responded. Instead, he turned the tax haven of St Kitts into his own personal haven from American authorities. Not only does the US Treasury take a financial hit as a result, but the entire premise of SEC enforcement is undermined. Because if this guy can brazenly get away with stuff like this, why should anyone else even pretend securities laws matter in the first place?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a husband, father, and construction worker—was abducted by the Trump MAGA regime from his Maryland home.
No warrant. No warning. Just gone.
This wasn’t “enforcement.” It was a raid. A kidnapping.
The Trump regime has ignored multiple court orders—including a Supreme Court ruling—to bring Kilmar home.
This isn’t a glitch in the system. It’s the system MAGA is building.
This is how fascism works: by tearing through legal limits, disappearing people, and daring us to stop them.
If we let them disappear Kilmar, they’ll do it again. And again. Until none of us are safe.

This wasn’t “enforcement.” It was a raid. A kidnapping. A calculated act of terror meant to silence people like Kilmar—and scare the rest of us into submission.
It won’t work.
If we let them disappear Kilmar, they’ll do it again. And again. Until none of us are safe.
What happened to Kilmar is personal. And it’s political. It’s part of a broader campaign by a regime of bullies for the billionaires—a fascist agenda that disappears our neighbors, targets our families, and rules by fear.
Sign the petition demanding Congress act NOW to #BringKilmarHome and stop these abductions.
he MAGA regime wants fear. They’ll get resistance.

Trump is defunding libraries and museums nationwide—sign the petition to fight back!
Dear fellow MoveOn member,
One month ago, Donald Trump launched an outright attack on federal funding for libraries and museums with his executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), as well as six other agencies.1
IMLS is the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services and supporting museums, and the Trump administration’s decision to defund it is terrifying not only for librarians but for Americans as a whole. This will have a direct impact on people across the country who rely on libraries and museums as vital community anchors, especially the state and local ones that these cuts will hit the hardest.
Do not defund our libraries and museums!
This is about more than books—people depend on librarians to help them bridge the digital divide that affects our world. Federal funding for libraries helps pay for things like workforce development training and bolsters essential services like computer and internet access in rural communities.2 Pulling this support could even jeopardize crucial literacy development and reading programs.
Trump’s move to eliminate the IMLS is also deeply unpopular, as 96% of Americans support maintaining or increasing federal museum funding.3 This is just another example of the inefficiency of Elon Musk’s so-called DOGE agency. It’s not about actually saving money. The IMLS represents just 0.0046% of the federal budget, while museums generate $50 billion in economic impact.4
All of us will feel the impact of these cuts, and that especially goes for vulnerable populations, like unhoused Americans and those living in rural communities. Federal funding for libraries supports braille and talking books for people with visual impairments, veterans’ telehealth spaces, and employment assistance for job seekers.5
Without this core federal funding for libraries and museums, we risk losing critical programs and services in every state. This is the time to make our voices heard.
Join me in demanding support for libraries and museums nationwide. Sign my petition to the Trump administration and lawmakers now!
Thanks for all you do.
–Sarah F., MoveOn member

Dear MoveOn member,
Donald Trump is openly defying a unanimous Supreme Court ruling by refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a dangerous megaprison in El Salvador infamous for its human rights abuses.1,2
Despite a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was unlawful—and an order to return Abrego Garcia to the United States—the Trump administration refuses to comply, and Abrego Garcia still remains in El Salvador.3
And in a shocking display of its fascist tendencies, the Trump administration said on Friday that Abrego Garcia “is never coming back.”4
In addition to being a critical immigration and human rights issue, Trump’s defiance of a Supreme Court order is a direct challenge to our constitutional system of checks and balances.
When a president can ignore the highest court in the land, none of our rights are secure.
That’s why MoveOn is taking action: During the April congressional recess, we’re mobilizing in full force to stop these lawless abductions.
MoveOn has identified seven persuadable House Republicans who represent moderate districts. These lawmakers know they don’t represent MAGA districts and can’t afford to be seen as enabling human rights abuses and constitutional violations. With enough pressure from constituents, we can force these Republicans to be the ones to stand up to Trump.
Our April congressional recess plan is already in motion. We’re organizing phone banks, town halls, and local media events in each of these seven districts. MoveOn members will deliver a clear message to these representatives: Defend the Constitution and demand Trump comply with the Supreme Court’s order.
But this kind of targeted, strategic organizing requires resources. Will you start a monthly donation of $5 to power our campaign during this critical April recess period and sustain our long-term efforts to defend our democracy?
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
Here’s what your donation will fund: MoveOn members will organize their communities to coordinate actions, make noise in the local press and across social media platforms, and ensure these representatives can’t escape hearing from their constituents.
Our plan is to turn up the heat so that these representatives know we will not stand idly by as the administration defies the Supreme Court and abandons due process.
MoveOn members will organize to flood their offices with calls and meeting requests. And our members will ensure that whenever these representatives hold public events, MoveOn members are there to ask tough questions about why they’re silent while the administration violates the Constitution.
Trump took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Instead, he’s defying the Supreme Court and abandoning due process.
If Trump can imprison someone without due process, evidence, or a trial, he can do it to anyone—including U.S. citizens he deems to be political enemies.
The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is just the beginning. Trump has already signaled he is planning to deport and jail American citizens to El Salvador.5 We won’t let that happen.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation to fund our April recess campaign and power our long-term efforts to defend our democracy and Constitution from Trump?
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Breaking the law comes with consequences — unless you’re a gun dealer.
Last week, Trump ended a policy that revoked the licenses of gun dealers who broke the law, including those who sold firearms without background checks or falsified business records.
This is basic, common-sense accountability. You shouldn’t get to keep selling deadly weapons if you break the laws meant to keep people safe.
And the old policy worked. In just a few years, it led to a historic spike in license revocations for lawbreakers, slowing the flood of illegal guns into our communities.
Now, that progress is under attack.
They’re willing to gut the most bare minimum policies because the Second Amendment matters more to them than our right to live. That trade-off means more illegal guns in our communities — and more lives lost.

Thank you for your continued support.

At March For Our Lives, we call our monthly supporter program The Movement Fund.
Why are monthly recurring donors so important? The amount of one-time individual donations we receive as an organization varies vastly from month to month.
Without a steady stream of monthly donations coming in our door, it would be impossible to accurately plan our budgets, create long-term strategies to win a future free from gun violence, plan and execute on-the-ground organizing efforts, recruit and train more gun safety champions, and more.
One of the best ways that you can help sustain our movement is by becoming a recurring monthly donor. Can you sign up today?

We just got a win. Last week, the Supreme Court dismissed a challenge to one of New York’s most important concealed carry laws — allowing common-sense, life-saving restrictions to stay in place.
Here’s what it means:
- Concealed firearms stay banned from “sensitive places” like schools, hospitals, churches, parks, and entertainment venues.
- Gun owners still have to meet a moral character standard to get a concealed carry license.
This decision didn’t happen by accident. March For Our Lives has been pushing to defend and strengthen New York’s gun laws for years — even when the odds were stacked against us. In 2022, we filed an amicus brief in NYSRPA v. Bruen, urging the Supreme Court to uphold a common-sense gun policy. The Court ruled against us, making it easier to carry guns in public.
But we refused to back down. We demanded that lawmakers adopt new restrictions in the wake of the ruling and put our lives before gun rights.
After years of advocacy inside and outside the courtroom, New York passed the laws that are being challenged today.
Thank you for your continued support.

Over the weekend, millions of people– including many SURJers like you– mobilized in all 50 states for the Hands Off! actions. These mass mobilizations early on in Trump’s term are important low-barrier ways for people to experience courage and prevent the further consolidation of authoritarian power.
While most of the national coverage focused on big cities, there were also hundreds of rallies in small towns and rural communities– places deeply impacted by this administration’s policies and where showing up might have been a riskier action. And– mass mobilizations alone aren’t going to get us to the world we want. We must keep organizing. We must keep meeting masses of people where they’re at and bringing them deeper into action for the long-haul.
Did you attend an April 5 rally and are wondering what’s next? Inspired and ready to take on a new level of leadership in your organizing? Here are two ways to do that this week:
May 1 is International Workers’ Day and this year in cities across the country, we’ll be celebrating by joining with the Labor Movement to stand with immigrants, trans people, people of color, and those on the frontlines of attacks and against billionaires pitting us against each other. As a May Day rally host, you’ll receive coaching and a step-by-step organizing guide to either organize a group to attend a local action near you or to plan an action in your community.
Then, join us on Wednesday, April 9 at 8 pm ET / 5pm ET for an action hour to show up for immigrant communities. We’ll be partnering with “Never Again Action,” a Jewish-led mobilization against the persecution, detention, and deportation of immigrants in the United States. We’ll be taking action to stop a federal immigrant registry and protect immigrants from being targeted and rounded up by the government.

We cannot allow ourselves to be desensitized to headlines like this one:
This should not be our normal. We should not fear for our lives every time that we go to school in this country. But the United States is one of the only places in the world where this phenomenon keeps happening. And our leaders are failing us.
Just three weeks ago, Florida Republicans voted to repeal gun safety measures that we won after the tragedy at Parkland – even as school shootings continue.
In the Oval Office, reporters asked President Trump about what was at the time an active shooting. He called the shooting “a shame” and “a horrible thing” before adding: “Things like this take place.” In other words, don’t expect any action. It’s disgusting that we have moved on from “thoughts and prayers” to “I don’t care.”
It’s enraging that this keeps happening, in Florida and everywhere else. We can’t accept it – we have to keep fighting for the life-saving policy changes needed in Florida and across the country before more people are senselessly slaughtered.
As someone who experienced a shooting at my high school, I want to help create a world where no one has to live through what my community had to back in 2018. And clearly, that means replacing the do-nothing dinosaurs running this country.
Together, we can elect the next generation of leaders who won’t cower before the gun lobby, but will fight for meaningful gun reform legislation to keep us all safe.
I want to personally thank everyone who is standing with us in this fight. Lives are literally hanging in the balance – that’s how important our work really is.
Thank you,
David Hogg
Let’s be clear: we’re not here to elect people just because they’re young.
There are plenty of young candidates who still want to criminalize abortion, protect billionaires, and side with corporations over communities.
That’s not progress. It’s just repackaging the same broken politics in a younger body.
At Leaders We Deserve, we’re throwing our weight behind bold progressives – young leaders who understand what it’s like to grow up in a time of climate disaster, crushing debt, and mass shootings.
Leaders who know that change doesn’t come from playing it safe, it comes from taking risks, building power, and fighting like hell for what’s right.
The kind of leaders we support are:
- Bold enough to challenge the status quo
- Smart enough to build winning coalitions
- Grounded enough to listen, organize, and deliver
We just announced a $20 million investment to support these candidates – including in Democratic primaries against entrenched incumbents in safe blue districts.
We don’t just want younger leaders. We want and need better ones.
If you’re with us, help us power this work. Pitch in $5 to help support the next generation of progressive leaders.
Thanks for believing in what we’re building.
