Wednesday, January 14, 7:30-8:30 pm Eastern. https://secure.ngpvan.com/elD13dIEkEGGiwIqYlP84w2

“Extremist trolls, media figures, and the Trump administration are spreading disinformation about the murder of Renee Nicole Good at lightning speed, but we can fight back! A Social Bank is a collective digital action - hundreds of people coming together online to like, comment, share, and amplify key posts around a critical issue. It is also a way to take advantage of this critical juncture to invite in disillusioned Trump supporters”. 

“Join Red Wine & Blue and our friends from the 3.5% Campaign for a Moms for Good Social Bank as we help boost the right messaging and stories online in this important moment”.

*This one will be amplifying Instagram posts, so an Instagram account is required.

Allison and Katie Phang break down an exclusive story after Allison met with a whistleblower who exposed a DOJ error that leaves survivor information vulnerable. The DOJ confirmed they received notice of the issue on December 21st but still hasn’t corrected it. Allison connected the whistleblower with House Oversight, which confirmed the information, said this error was new to them, and is now working on a fix and on improving how whistleblowers can report DOJ failures in the future.

Good Trouble
Control of the House of Representatives is in play right now!
With margins this close, this year is critically important. Getting involved with local organizations and grassroots groups can make a real difference in special elections. Staying connected and taking action could help Democrats retake the House - or effectively neutralize the majority sooner than you might expect.

Good Trouble

The federal government has proposed two new rules that could make it virtually impossible for transgender youth to get the health care they need. These proposed rules would: Block Medicaid and CHIP funding for gender-affirming care for transgender youth; and punish hospitals and providers that offer this care by threatening their ability to participate in Medicare and Medicaid altogether.

Good Trouble - https://near.tl/sm/ik-ZushRa

A mass outbreak of civil disobedience occurred in the autumn of 1940, when students of Oslo University began to wear paper clips on their lapels to demonstrate their resistance to the German occupiers and their Norwegian collaborators. A seemingly innocuous item, the paper clip was a symbol of solidarity and unity ("we are bound together"), implying resistance.

Good Trouble - https://near.tl/sm/ik-ZushRa
Time sensitive! Comment  BY December 22nd.
The ESA (Endangered Species Act), is under threat. The current administration wants to repeal the blanket rule, which automatically gives the same protections to threatened species that endangered species receive, such as prohibiting the harming, killing, or trading of those species. Without the blanket rule, each species wanted or needed to be added to the ESA needs to be added  individually, which takes time, time threatened species might not have. Leave a comment at the Federal Register (link below) BY December 22nd, telling them not to change the rule!
