Trump and the Republicans are trying to pass a disastrous tax bill (what Trump calls the Big Beautiful Bill) that would cut Medicaid, gut critical government services, and drive inflation higher – all to give billionaires trillions of dollars more in tax breaks.

We need to show up in battleground districts to apply pressure and define the bill for people as what it is: a giveaway to the rich at our expense.

Fighting the tax bill this summer is essential to defeat it and to hold members accountable should it pass. Plus it sets the stage to win by making swing district voters understand that Republicans are driving up costs and cutting Medicaid to pay for a massive giveaway to the rich.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act is one of the most draconian voter suppression bills we’ve seen in decades. Masquerading as “election integrity,” this Republican-backed legislation would force every voter to present physical proof of U.S. citizenship—like a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers—just to register to vote in federal elections. But here’s the reality: nearly 21 million Americans lack access to these documents, and almost half the country doesn’t have a passport. For the 69 million women who changed their name after marriage, mismatched documents could instantly disqualify them from voting. For rural communities, naturalized citizens, low-income voters, and people of color, the hurdles become insurmountable—amounting to a modern-day poll tax dressed up as reform.

The goal is clear—make voting harder for the very Americans whose voices threaten the far-right agenda. This is the moment to act. We must stand together, expose the lie behind the SAVE Act, and defend every American’s fundamental right to vote.

On Tuesday November 4th, 2025, local elections will take place for school boards, local villages, towns, cities and judges across our country along with statewide elections in New Jersey and Virginia. We can’t wait to start our electoral work, we must begin with local elections.

To understand how we arrived in this moment, we have to look back to the 1970’s when a small group of extreme far-right idealogues in the Republican Party started to target school boards and local elections. Their goal was to build power for a future far-right Supreme Court, Congress and Presidency that could enact their extremist agenda.

We have arrived at that future moment and in order to take back power, we must start at the local level. We are encouraging everyone to get involved in local politics and either run for local government or support progressives and Democrats in winning local elections.
