Hi Friends,

We've been busy, online and off, nationally and in states. See what you'd like to join in on:

Join us for the April 2026 online book club on April 1 at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET with Bruce Robbins, author of Who’s Allowed to Protest? The book explores which political voices are amplified and which are silenced, and the fight over "who's too elite" to dissent.

Register to get the Zoom link.

(More info on the book here.)

Since we asked you to start a movement to remove Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries from their positions of leadership of the Democratic Party over their unwillingness to seriously resist war, that seemingly implausible goal has gained major traction, but we still need to push it across the finish-line.

We asked you to help petition the Ukrainian government to free a peace activist and conscientious objector. He is now free, but we still want all charges dropped and the harassment formally ended.

A bill has been introduced in Congress named for our late friend Daniel Ellsberg, a bill that would protect whistleblowers. We need to pass it.

You can get involved online and off.

• Tell Congress to stop blockading Cuba.
• Create a local picket line against the war on Iran.
• Watch and share video: RootsAction's Hanieh Jodat Barnes and Jeffrey Sterling discuss the war on Iran.
• Bring these posters to No Kings on Saturday.

• DNC Approach To Israel Is Political Malpractice, Moral Failure
• Trump’s War on Iran Could Cost Trillions
• Most Impeachable Person in U.S. History
• Between the Dragon and His Wrath: A Tale of Two Kents
• Democrats Might Save Mike Johnson’s Push to Give Trump Domestic Spying Power

We're advancing progressive causes in many states, including:

• Balcony Solar
• Death Penalty Abolition
• (in California) Taxing Billionaires
• Many more

"There Was an Old Fascist Who Started a War" (inspired by the children's song, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly")
