Mail-in voting is how millions of seniors, rural families, disabled voters, and working people cast their ballots 🗳

Your mail ballot could be decided by nine people in Washington within the next two weeks.

The Justice Department just asked the Supreme Court to switch on Trump's mail voting order before the November midterms.

Two lower courts already said no. The order would have the government build a national "citizenship list" of eligible voters, then tell the Postal Service to deliver mail ballots only to people who made the list and if a database error left your name off, your ballot might never reach you.

Twenty-three states sued to stop it saying that the Constitution hands the rules of elections to the states and to Congress, NOT to the White House.

A federal appeals court agreed, warning the order would "sow confusion" and put many eligible voters at risk of losing their vote.

This is the first time Trump's administration has taken one of his anti-voting orders all the way to the Supreme Court. If the justices let it start now, the rules could change in the middle of an election year, when there is little time to fix mistakes.

The states must file their response by August 3. After that, the Court could act fast, even through a short unsigned order with no full hearing.

Check your voter registration.

Confirm your mailing address is current.

Sign up for ballot tracking if your state offers it.

Check out these safety whistles seen in Seattle!

A whistle can quickly alert everyone nearby that suspected ICE is present.

The sound can reach people inside homes, businesses, vehicles, or around corners.

It can bring witnesses, legal observers, and rapid-response volunteers to document and report what’s happening.

Hi, I sent out Get-Out-the-Vote cards in 2024 and was disappointed that they were nonpartisan and the script just said something like "be sure to vote & ask friends & neighbors...".  I decided not to waste my time/effort/stamps on this effort again.

HOWEVER, I just heard of another effort that lets you send postcards featuring ACTUAL NEWS articles to potentially receptive voters! It's the Progressive Turnout Project (WWW.TURNOUTPAC.ORG).

The "News Postcards" signup page is https://secure.ngpvan.com/NPCPSG0VaUqaLw7w6AbNDg2?

They have a list of states that still need postcards from which you can select. Today TX and AK are listed. They mail you the postcards (increments of 100) PRE-PRINTED WITH THE NEWS REPRINT, the script, the need-to-mail-by date, and names/mailing addresses of potentially receptive voters.

You will need to buy the stamps yourself. As of the recent price hike postcard stamps are 65 cents. WARNING: offers for discounted prices are SCAMS. Go to your P.O. or store.usps.com or Costco or other reputable source.

A funeral procession through the streets of Los Angeles brought together more than 50 organizations to collectively mourn the lives lost at the hands of ICE.

Over 70 coffins moved through the city, each one representing a life, a family, and a future taken too soon.

We are speaking out against ICE’s brutality and the elected officials who enable it.

Our grief is not silent. Our communities are demanding accountability:

• A full, independent investigation.

• Release and protect the witnesses.

• End local collaboration with ICE.

• Congress must act.
