Good Trouble
Debbie : I am currently spending this rainy CO Tuesday (9/23/25) alternately text-banking for Fair Fight Action and the ACLU. Fair Fight Action is asking for comments on The Election Assistance Commission's website. They're considering a rule change that would create new burdens on voter registration because far-right groups are pressuring them. Comment on this issue: Write a Comment - regulations.gov
The ACLU is asking people to join their September People Power Action Call on Thursday, September 25th at 8 PM ET, where they'll break down Trump's abuses of power (from deploying the National Guard in LA and DC, to intimidating and silencing protestors and his political opponents), why it matters for all of us, and how we can fight back together - including through mass mobilization.
