Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to promote peace in the Israel/Palestine conflict, reject attempts to repeal soot standards, and pass the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act. 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.
Demand Progress helps you tell your Congressfolk to support a ceasefire in the Israel/Palestine conflict and hold President Biden to his word about withholding weapons as long as Israel commits human rights abuses there. President Biden’s declaration about that was, admittedly, astounding – few American politicians have been more pro-Israel than he – but our State Department’s recent finding that Israel hasn’t met the bar for human rights abuses is, sadly, less so. All that means is we need to keep holding our leaders’ feet to the fire. Because Israel’s government wants Hamas around and kills Palestinian civilians to keep them around.
Earthjustice helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject yet another “Resolution of Disapproval,” this one aiming at the Biden Administration’s new soot standard. We’ve all seen enough soot-in-face jokes on TV to know that soot ain’t something you necessarily want in your face, and we definitely don’t want it in our lungs – yet big polluting corporations and their lackeys in Congress stand ready to hunt down any standard that would protect us from soot in our air. Congress’s priorities sure are strange. You’d think protecting us from pollutants making us sick would be their job.
Finally, Demand Progress helps you tell your Congressfolk to pass the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act. Not that we’ve never had corrupt Justices before, or that corruption is strictly speaking a partisan matter – you’ll recall that Justices Kagan and Sotomayor were landlords helping to decide the fate of COVID-era renter protections – but the various ethics imbroglios affecting Justices Thomas and Alito remind us that our laws don’t hold our Supreme Court to the same ethics standards as other federal judges. Surely we don’t think they’re too big to fail? In America, nobody should be too big to fail.
