Ongoing opportunities:
Call Congress to defend Ukraine and to Stop our Support of Russia. While Russia escalates its targetting of civilians and attacks Ukraine's energy grid as winter approaches, President Trump is allying even more closely with Putin, freeing him from Congressionally imposed diesel sanctions in an apparently desperate attempt to lower diesel costs in the run up to the election. Use 5calls to speak up for democracy and human rights for all. Tell Congress to oppose Trump’s Russian diesel deal, hold this administration to the law, and continue standing with Ukraine.

FYI: Department of Justice attacks the Southern Poverty Law Center. You may have heard that the DOJ has indicted the SPLC for paying for informants to infiltrate the KKK and other extremist groups. The ACLU of Alabama, Common Cause and other civil rights organizations are strongly backing the SPLC. Stay tuned on the best ways to oppose the use of the DOJ to intimidate organizations such as the SPLC, an organization that in the past has been a valuable ally to law enforcement in tracking and opposing hate groups. Read more from Common Cause here.
Take Action: Oppose Reauthorization of Section 702 of FISA. Indivisible urges us to tell Congress to NOT REAUTHORIZE Section 702 of the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). FISA was passed in 2008, to facilitate warrantless electronic surveillance of non-US citizens in other countries; however, courts have ruled that information gleaned “incidentally” about citizens' communications can also be searched, no warrant necessary. Despite being a civil liberties violation, Congress has routinely reauthorized Section 702 with bipartisan support. Learn more and contact Congress here. Alternatively, use 5Calls or contact your legislators directly.
