Protecting our safety is the first responsibility of our elected officials. This week, let us thank President Biden for standing up to the Dirty Energy companies and protecting our climate.
We also need to push him to confront Greg Abbott in Texas, who is in open rebellion against our government. And we need him to curtail the flow of weapons to Israel until Netanyahu stops committing war crimes in Gaza.
Let’s make some calls!
