Today’s Action: Save California!

If you haven’t heard, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing a crucial recall vote TODAY. This election has the power to drastically change the trajectory of the country, and not for the better. 

Everyone in California must return their ballots voting "NO" on the recall by TONIGHT AT 8PM!

If you live in California, make sure to vote "NO" in the recall election that ends TONIGHT! Drop off your ballot in a secure dropbox or mailbox by 8pm. You can track your ballot here. 

Don’t live in California? Reach out to any friends and family to help them make a plan to vote!

This isn’t just a fight for California. The Golden State is leading the way when it comes to advancing progressive causes in our country. A Republican governor in Sacramento would cause catastrophic harm to our shared progressive agenda well beyond the borders of California.

Case in point — California’s Diane Feinstein, 88, is the oldest member of the US Senate. A GOP governor, if given the opportunity, would fill any vacancy with a Republican — a move that would make Mitch McConnell Majority Leader, effectively dooming the rest of President Biden’s ambitious first-term agenda.

This election could cause irreparable harm if turnout is low among Democrats. We need everyone’s help in defeating this Trumpian recall election.

Spread the word for Californians to vote "NO" in the recall election that ends TONIGHT! Drop off your ballot in a secure dropbox or mailbox by 8pm. You can track your ballot here. 

Don’t live in California? Reach out to friends and family to help them make a plan to vote!

PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to hold Florida Governor Ron DeSantis liable for his negligent response to the pandemic, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Today’s Action: Keep climate infrastructure front and center in the budget reconciliation bill!

New York City just recorded its wettest hour in history from Tropical Storm Henri’s rainfall yesterday. It’s not just on our coasts, either. Flash flooding in Tennessee this week left 22 dead and more than 20 missing. With climate disasters on the rise, we can only expect worsening deluge events. We need action on climate change now, without delay.

Call (202-224-3121) or email your members of Congress and demand they champion bold climate infrastructure in the budget reconciliation bill, as well as demand its swift passage!

The United States continues to be one of the top producers of pollutants in the world.

The minute the House reconvenes, Democrats must stand together to pass a bold, progressive reconciliation bill with substantial climate initiatives. Now that President Biden’s historic infrastructure package has passed in the Senate, passing the reconciliation bill with a full scope of climate action must remain a top priority.

Global powers must take action to lower greenhouse gas emissions and consider providing assistance to vulnerable countries suffering the consequences of decades of industrialized pollution. Our legislators need to do some serious heavy lifting.

Call (202-224-3121) or email your members of Congress and call for their quick action on climate infrastructure immediately upon reconvening!

PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to overturn laws that make homelessness a criminal offense, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
