The Supreme Court desperately needs an enforceable Code of Conduct, given the glaring ethical violations of Justices Thomas, Gorsuch and Roberts and the Chief Justice’s refusal to clean up the mess. Our Members of Congress must demand Thomas’ resignation, push for Judiciary Committee hearings on these ethical violations, co-sponsor and push for an enforceable Code of Conduct and work for Supreme Court expansion to prevent further erosion of our rights by MAGA Justices who ignore precedents and impose their extremely unpopular personal and religious beliefs on the rest of us.

MAGA Republicans want to drastically cut the non-defense budget by $4.5 trillion over the next decade and completely eliminate Biden’s environmental achievements, which would be disastrous for most Americans and our economy. They’re threatening not to raise the debt ceiling to force Biden to agree to their terms. Biden and Congressional Democrats must continue to stand firm against this MAGA blackmail attempt.

America cannot continue as a country where the fear of gun violence makes parents and children afraid to live life to the fullest. The price to our citizens, and especially our children, is much too high. We call on our representatives to take immediate action by passing common-sense, reasonable, gun safety legislation. Refusing to act is no longer an option.

It is clear from the science that, unless the Biden Administration and Congress stop supporting fossil fuel developments, we will be unable to prevent irreversible catastrophic damage to our planet—which requires rescinding approval of the Willow Project in Alaska, ending drilling on federal lands, requiring banks to stop financing fossil fuel developments, and limiting funding for major polluters like the Defense Department.

Democrats have just five days left to convince the American electorate that they, alone, have the will to combat corporate greed (which is fueling inflation), to ensure that we all have the right to economic security, and to protect our fundamental freedoms (including abortion), our democracy, our voting rights, the integrity of our elections and the peaceful transfer of power.
Please choose one or more of the topics from this week’s Daily Actions, or any other concerns, and call your Members of Congress.

The upcoming midterm elections are the most important of our lifetimes, since they will determine whether our constitutional democracy survives. While Democrats want to protect and strengthen our democracy, MAGA Republicans want to ensure that only they get the chance to govern, no matter the actual votes. This week’s DAs speak to these issues. Pick one or more of them for additional calls to your Members of Congress. Even if you know they share your position, hearing from you strengthens their resolve. If these 3 DAs don’t move you, pick an issue you find important and tell your MOC how you feel about it. Then work to support democracy’s survival by canvassing, phoning voters, joining Indivisible Oregon or another group, and writing postcards and letters to voters to infrequent voters in battleground states and districts.
