Why: Organizers say, “Juneteenth is a historic holiday that commemorates the end of slavery- and this year, it’s hitting a little different. As Trump and his billionaire friends are quietly working to roll back the victories of our movements- and escalating attacks on immigrants, black folks, and all working class and oppressed people- we can’t afford for Juneteenth to only be a celebration.

It is the nationwide version of Truth Tuesdays, a group that has protested at FOX News Headquarters in New york City every Tuesday since August 2021. Fox News made the GOP’s Trump/Musk coup possible! For almost 40 years, Rupert Murdoch’s rightwing propaganda network has lied to the American people, brainwashing millions and setting the stage for a GOP billionaire coup. Now, FOX is TRUMP STATE TV – full stop.” Join this local movement in showing our distaste in christofascist propaganda this Saturday and every Saturday.”

The time is now to condemn the Trump administration and all its attacks on the people, from the ongoing genocide in Palestine to the shameful raids and attacks on queer people occurring on the daily right here at home. As Eric Trump says, this is the most “Pro-Israel family in American political history”. We will not allow him to know peace in our city. We say down with Trump and up with Palestine! Eric Trump is not welcome here!”

Ongoing petitions
What: Petitions to free Mahmoud Khalil
CAIR Action launched an Action Alert Form to make it easy for folks to contact their representative to demand support for Mahmoud Khalil.
Why: Immigration agents with the Department of Homeland Security have detained Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia University in New York. Khalil is an Algerian citizen of Palestinian descent, a green card holder and married to a U.S. citizen. His wife is eight months pregnant. Trump’s White House Press Secretary said that Khalil’s green card will be revoked and he will face deportation now for breaking the law, but for being “adversarial to the foreign policy of the United States.” Activists say the Trump administration is trying to make an example out of Khalil, to prevent others from using their free speech rights to speak out against the federal government’s decisions. These petitions let your House and Senate Reps, as well as other government officials, know you find this decision unjust and illegal and to demand their support in protecting him from deportation.
What: Urge Congress to Protect Public Media Funding
Link(s): https://protectmypublicmedia.org/urge-congress-email/
Why: “Urge Congress to protect and sustain the essential funding that keeps public media accessible and strong. Send a message to your lawmakers now.”
What: Tell Congress: STOP the Musk Budget
Link(s): https://www.commoncause.org/actions/tell-congress-stop-the-musk-budget/
Why: “We’re sending a clear message to Congress: With government funding running out soon, Congress must seize this opportunity to exercise its power as a co-equal branch of government and STOP Elon Musk’s hostile takeover. The truth is, Musk is already trying to shut down our government, one mass firing or one shuttered agency at a time. Following the same playbook as previous government funding fights is effectively co-signing Musk’s looting of our federal government. Our Constitution is clear: Congress controls the “power of the purse” and how our tax dollars are spent – not the president, and certainly not an unelected, unconfirmed billionaire like Elon Musk. We must treat this like the constitutional crisis it is. If you agree Congress can’t just sit back and watch Musk hijack our government, join us to speak out. Add your name to tell Congress to STOP the dangerous Musk budget.”
What: Free Jeanette Vizguerra
Why: “Jeanette Vizguerra, a Colorado community leader and mother, has led the fight against her own deportation since 2009. She is the mother of four children – one of whom is a permanent resident, and the other three are U.S. citizens — as well as a grandmother. ICE detained Ms. Vizguerra without warning on March 17, 2025. The agency appears to be readying to deport her, despite not possessing a valid deportation order. As of 10:15am on Tuesday, March 18, she continues to be detained inside GEO. Her attorneys have raised concerns about serious legal errors. If ICE does not change course, they will be ripping her away from her family and community without any concern for her due process rights.”
What: Congress: Save Medicaid Now
Link(s): https://action.aclu.org/send-message/congress-save-medicaid-now
Why: “Medicaid is a lifeline for people with disabilities. It pays for mental health services and provides treatment for opioid use disorder. Millions of disabled people depend on Medicaid for services that allow them to live and work in their communities instead of in dehumanizing institutions. Medicaid allows direct care workers, predominantly women of color, to provide seniors and disabled people help with all aspects of daily living so they can be safe at home and live with dignity.”
