Impeach Donald Trump

On January 20th, Donald Trump will take office as America's 45th president. After that happens, the effort to impeach him should begin immediately. It would be an unprecedented step for sure, to begin it that early, but the threat Trump represents to our democracy is unprecedented as well. He threatened to not accept the results if he lost. He stoked violence by his supporters. He has flatly ignored the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. He has sided with Vladmir Putin, a ruthless dictator, against American citizens and intelligence officials who put their lives on the line. The list goes on. He has not even taken office, and he already shown himself to be unfit for office. America can't afford to wait and watch the Trump threat grow. Send Congress a message: Impeach Trump as soon as possible.

Tell the Electoral College: Save America from Trump

In just the first week after Trump’s “victory,” we’ve gotten a glimpse of what his presidency will be like -- and it is bleak. But Hillary Clinton WON the popular vote -- and there’s still a chance she could be our next president! Electors from the Electoral College will cast their votes on December 19th. If we can get them to change their votes, they can elect Hillary Clinton as 45th President of the United States. Sign your name: Ask electors to switch their vote and elect Hillary Clinton as 45th President of the United States >>

Stand Up to Trump’s Hypocrisy on Family Leave

Donald Trump has recently released a maternity leave plan as part of his cynical rebranding. But Democrats know the truth – that these are empty words from a man who once called pregnant employees “an inconvenience.” And while Trump and Senate Republicans have been insulting women and busy families, Democrats have been fighting for paid family leave for years. It’s time to get serious about paid family leave in America. Add your name and help the Senate Democrats stand up for paid family leave in Congress.

Stand up against Climate Obstruction

For the first time in American history, we have a national plan to limit the dangerous climate pollution spewing from our fossil fuel-fired power plants – the single largest source of carbon pollution in our nation and one of the largest in the world. We can’t let that slip away. But dirty energy forces are fighting climate progress through a relentless series of legal attacks. We’re fighting hard to stop this latest senseless effort attacking EPA’s vital limits on climate pollution—but we need your help. Pledge today: Add your name as one of the many Americans standing with the EPA’s climate safeguards for our communities—and not with dirty energy forces.

Make the Wealthy Pay their Fair Share of Social Security Taxes
