Take Action Now gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week, whatever your schedule. Sign up here to get actions like these in your inbox every Tuesday.
President Trump’s weak and deceptive “$1.5 trillion” infrastructure plan involves only $200 billion in federal funding over a decade, relies on privatization schemes that would enrich the already rich and powerful, and rolls back crucial environmental regulations. Use Color of Change’s call tool to demand that Congress reject Trump’s “infrastructure scam” and instead embrace a plan that truly invests in our communities.
At more than 300 watch parties last week, activists gathered to hear from movement leaders and to get their next assignment: push for local resolutions calling for no fossil fuels and for a just transition to 100 percent renewable energy. Sign up for a next step call with 350.org this Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night and join the climate resistance in your community.
There are a number of opportunities this week to show up physically and virtually for immigrant communities under attack. Tomorrow, February 7, people are heading to DC to demand a #DreamActNow. On Saturday, February 10, New York City will gather in support of activist Ravi Ragbir, the leader of the New Sanctuary Coalition who is in danger of being deported. You can follow and support that action using the hashtags #IStandwithRavi and #NewSanctuaryCity.
