- Stand with Planned Parenthood as Republicans in U.S. Senate (backed by Vice President Mike Pence) kill Title X protection for women's health and family planning
Even as the GOP pushed the bill forward (with Pence needing to break a 50-50 tie in the Senate) women nationwide are vowing to hold these lawmakers accountable- Call your U.S. Senators today (here's the roll call of the vote) and express your outrage over this attack on women's health
- Tell your lawmaker to 'Stop the Attack on Title X'

- Get on board to back the new push for a Medicare-for-All
With Sen. Bernie Sanders set to release new legislation to established a national 'Medicare for All' system in the U.S., you can let your elected lawmakers (and your friends and neighbors) know that you support a healthcare care system that leaves nobody out and lets everyone in.- Tell Congressional Democrats: Fight for Medicare for All
- Tell your friends and allies why you support #MedicareforAll on social media
- Tell your lawmaker you support all means necessary to #Filibuster and #StopGorsuch
With a full vote next week, and with just over a dozen Democrats (and Sen. Angus King (I-ME)) still on the fence about filibustering the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch, President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court, it's an all-hands-on-deck effort to push those lawmakers to where they need to be.- Call your U.S. Senators today and tell them you oppose Gorsuch. If they've already committed to join the filibuster, congratulate them (or send them flowers: #FilibusterFlowers)
