Let’s be honest about the #SaveAct.

It quietly turns marriage and divorce into voting obstacles for women.

If your right to vote depends on paperwork matching the name you had at birth, millions of women are suddenly a problem.

That’s not security. That’s suppression.

What to Do If ICE Invades Your Neighborhood With federal agents storming the streets of American communities, there's no single right way to approach this dangerous moment. But there are steps you can take to stay safeβ€”and have an impact.

On the Scene

If you find yourself witnessing an immigration enforcement action, β€œthe goal is to be an observer and to document what is happening,” says Nathan-Pineau of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. β€œThe goal is not to go and try to intervene in the law enforcement action.”

This administration and anyone who supports policies like this should be deeply ashamed. No human being contributing to society deserves to be treated as though they belong in a concentration camp. This is morally indefensible and echoes the darkest chapters of history. More people must speak out.

Will legislators & voters backing Trump's reckless path be ready to fill the ranks AND own the cost? It’s on us to demand leaders who choose peace over war. Call your senators and representatives NOW. Hold them accountable before more lives are lost. (Phone lines are open 24/7.)
