FRIDAY RECAP: may 13, 2022

Daily Action
Written By Barbara Isaacman

Democracy relies on the wisdom of a majority. This week we see the danger and destruction when a country’s direction is set by a minority or even one person.

This week, our Daily Actions focused on:

May 10: CONGRESS MUST PROTECT WOMEN’S RIGHT TO CONTROL THEIR BODIES - Justice Alito’s draft opinion overturning women’s right to control their reproduction ignores precedent, relies on a faulty reading of history, and will greatly harm the most vulnerable Americans and their families. Read it here:

MAY 11: PUTIN’S WAR INTENSIFIES WORLD FOOD CRISIS - Millions of poor people are facing acute shortages of basic foodstuffs as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a major food supplier, and their blockade of exports of grain from Ukraine. Read it here:

MAY 12: “ROME WASN’T BURNED IN A DAY” BUT REVOKING ROE IS START - Conservative evangelicals pushed Trump and he solidified ultra-conservative, even biblical-tinged Supreme Court. If the Court reverses Roe, overruling decades of precedent and even massive public opinion, the future of our culture, politics, race relations, poverty programs, and climate will be dictated by a handful of unelected, untruthful, and unaccountable Christians.

All of these issues must be faced by Democrats as they prepare for the extremely important midterm elections, which will determine whether we can continue moving towards a government that works for all Americans, not just the rich and powerful. We must impress upon our Members of Congress the need to sharpen their message and regularly repeat it–outlining Democratic successes in understandable terms and clearly painting the massive differences between them and obstructionist Trump Republicans.

So, no matter how often you’ve called this week, commit to calling some more. And whatever the script, keep stressing the need to remind voters how Dems are working to improve our lives.

Here are the great topics from which to choose: 

Now, pick up your phone, click on your chosen link(s), and push for a government that works for all Americans.
