------ NO KINGS: VOTE EARLY

First things first: No Kings 4 has been announced, and it's focused on early vote mobilization and preparing for the possible election sabotage.

------ OTHER IMPORTANT ACTIONS

Follow this Human Rights First instruction on how to provide public comment. click here
  ​
• By Sept.30: From California Immigrant Policy Center: Urge Governor Newsom to sign bills that defend immigrant communities (advance immigrant and economic justice, help hold corporations accountable that are profiting from the detentions and deportations of our community members, bring transparency to unlawful immigration enforcement practices). Follow this toolkit: click here
  ​
• By Sept.30: From California Domestic Workers Coalition: Urge Governor Newsom to sign bills that keep ICE out of courthouses, protect sensitive data from being shared without warrants, and strengthen protections against immigration-based retaliation from employers. They also increase corporate transparency for corporations with historical ties to slavery. Toolkit with the sample phone script: click here. If you do call, let me know: the coalition would like to keep track of the calls.
