This week’s calls to action:

Restore Union Rights to Federal Workers!

Call and write or visit your members of Congress to demand they immediately restore collective bargaining rights to all federal workers! Demand they co-sponsor the bi-partisan Protect America’s Workforce Act (HR 2550) and the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act (HR 20).

The President’s illegal executive order stripping union rights from over a million federal workers in 30 agencies is a direct attack on the rights of all workers. Fight to guarantee the right to organize at work!

From the CPUSA Labor Commission: Trump and Musk: Hands off our union rights!

Unions and other mass people’s organizations across the country will be out in the streets on Saturday, April 5th to tell Trump and Musk and their billionaire backers: “Hands Off!”

• Hands off our union rights and civil rights!
• Hands off immigrants!
• Hands off our bodies!
• Hands off our public schools!
• Hands off Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid!
• Hands off our Post Office!Hands off the VA!
• Hands off the EPA!

A mass resistance movement is necessary to stop the mass privatizations and assaults on the workplace and democratic rights our working class and people have won over many decades through struggle. Now is the time to get in the mix, to deepen and broaden the fightback against the billionaire coup. Will you be there?

Previous (but still relevant) calls to action:

Protect free speech and due process!

Call and write or visit your members of Congress to demand an end to the targeting of those with student visas and the all out assault on due process and free speech! Demand the immediate release of Rumeysa Ozturk and all political prisoners!

The alarming pattern of abducting students by masked ICE agents on the basis of their political views and stripping them of legal status with no due process is a violation of basic constitutional rights. The democratic rights and civil liberties of everyone are endangered.

Shut Down DOGE!

GOP Rep. Issa has moved to codify DOGE into law!

Call and write or visit your members of Congress to demand they fight back and stop the destruction of people’s institutions and public services: Education, Social Security, Medicare, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Post Office, and National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), various Civil Rights divisions, and more.

Congress has a choice: allow the billionaire coup, or shut down DOGE and take control on behalf of working people.

Defend Dissent! Release Mahmoud Khalil!

Call and write or visit your members of Congress and urge they publicly demand the immediate release of student activist Mahmoud Khalil. The attempt to deport Khalil because of his speech is an unconstitutional abuse of power. Stop all illegal detentions and protect First Amendment rights to speech and protest.

Oppose the anti-voter “SAVE” Act!

Call and write or visit your members of Congress to strongly oppose H.R.22 — the voter suppression “SAVE” Act. If passed, it would require showing a passport or birth certificate in federal elections, based on lies that non-citizens vote. This act would make it more difficult for working-class people to vote—especially women, immigrants, people of color, and low-income workers. We must defeat the anti-voter “SAVE” Act and uphold voting rights by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!

Tell Congress: Stop the All-Out Assault on Public Education!

A new bill, H.R. 899, would completely eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. This is an all-out attack on public education and millions of students, teachers, and families.

Protect birthright citizenship!

Call your Senators and Representative in Congress and tell them to refuse to allow Donald Trump’s unconstitutional executive order ending birthright citizenship to stand. Denying citizenship to infants born in the US of immigrant parents is a brazen attempt to overturn the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. It is being challenged in court by 22 states. The 14th Amendment is clear — every person born on US soil has the right to full citizenship and to live life freely in the country where they were born. This executive order is shameful and unconstitutional, and enforcement must not be allowed. Call 202-225-3121 today and ask for your Senators and your Representative.
