We're hosting a virtual rally for those who are not able to attend a March 7th National Day of Action event in person. We don't think structural barriers should prevent anyone from being able to participate in a movement that directly impacts their lives.

pink pitch graffiti letters with comps of girl interrupted x eric la rocca x my chemical romance on a scribbly black background. 

Twenty-five-year-old Ash has just been released from a psychiatric hold following a suicide attempt, and her life is in shambles. Spiraling and overwhelmed, witchy, neopagan Ash tries to put a curse into the universe, so that anyone who tries to fuck with her will hurt like she hurts. Later, in a moment of clarity and horror, she recants the curse. It's fine. Curses aren't real anyway, right? 
Then a man who stands her up for a date is murdered. It's all over the news. Surely it can't be the curse she recanted? At first, she's able to shake off an impending emotional spiral with the help of her therapy group friend Leticia and witchy crush Dara. However, strange things continue to happen. Her window is broken by an unknown stranger. Her ex-best friend's apartment is broken into. When Ash's skeazy professor is murdered right in front of her, she must accept the factsβ€”someone is stalking her and the people who have wronged her. A Not-Ash who looks exactly like Ash.
It's only a matter of time before Not-Ash is found out, so real Ash turns to her new friends for help. To save everyone from the doppelganger, they'll have to work together to figure out what it is and how to slay it. But killing it might mean, for Ash, facing her darkest inner demons. If she doesn't, then Not-Ash will kill everyone who has hurt her--including the people she cares about.

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying.

Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free.

So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.
