Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to investigate human rights abuses in Gaza, reject any attempt to cut Social Security benefits, and stop trying to dump on exploited workers. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Just Foreign Policy helps you tell your Congressfolk to demand that our State Department investigate human rights abuses by Israel in Palestine. They shouldn’t be hard to find! Israel spent weeks indiscriminately firing missiles into Gaza before putting boots on the ground “looking” for Hamas, and now you can’t drink the water in Gaza and Israeli soldiers say things on video like “there are no innocent civilians in Gaza,” which probably reminds you of, you know, everyone who’s ever dehumanized an enemy. All of this, so Mr. Netanyahu can win another election when his current governing coalition collapses in six months or so. Seriously, Italy’s a more stable government now!
Demand Progress helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject any attempt to create a Social Security “commission.” Most politicians talk about the “crises” that “demand” we cut Social Security benefits for the good Americans who earned them – what a bunch of cowards these politicians sound like! (Of course, they’re liars, not cowards, and a liar is many orders of magnitude worse than a coward.) But why not tell them to expand Social Security funding instead? Billionaires have enough money to wipe their asses with these days, so it’s not like “we’re broke.” I mean, you and I may be, but America’s most certainly not.
Finally, the Juggernaut Project helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject H.J.Res. 98, which would overturn a Biden Administration rule that protects working families. The rule would stop corporations from abusing their employees’ “joint employer” status; if you don’t already know what happens with that, you can probably guess by the name – a “joint employer” will spend all its time passing the buck from one to to the other so no one ever has to deal with a worker grievance or bargain with employees in good faith. The rule is a good work, but of course Republicans have to shit on it. So let’s not let them do that.
