It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

THIRTY percent of federal workers are veterans… compared to five percent in the rest of the workforce. When the Trump-Musk administration does their indiscriminate firings, veterans disproportionately pay the price.

Someone told me they are thinking of withdrawing from my church because they are a federal worker and they are scared of being placed on a list. My church is extremely trans-friendly, and pro-Black Lives Matter. This is what our country has come to. It breaks my heart. People are scared to stand up

Action item for the day, reach out to your representatives, especially those in Washington, and ask them when they are hosting a town hall. Party leadership has instructed them all to do so ASAP. The phones are all tied up. People need access to their representation.
