Take Action!

There are lots of ways to get involved whether you are an introvert or extrovert. We have subgroups involved in organizing standouts, sign brigades, post card writing, communication (newsletters, web team), fundraising, immigrant advocacy, local/state legislation, Sign Brigade and more. We would love your help in any way you can participate.

Below are some quick actions you can take from home

1) Impeach RFKjr, and Pete Hegseth

Tell MOC to Join Rep. Stevens’ Impeachment Articles Against RFK jr. Use this petition from Stand Up for Science: https://tinyurl.com/impeachRFK

Tell MOC to sign on to efforts by Rep. Shri Thanedar and Rep. Yassamin Ansari to impeach Pete Hegseth https://tinyurl.com/HegsethOut

2) Tell MOC to pass the ICE Out of Our Faces Act

ICE relies on their own faulty facial recognition app rather than looking at peoples real ID, passport or other documents. Tell Congress to end this practice by signing the ACLU letter:

10) Organize a Strike

How to Defeat MAGA Tyranny, Chapter 1: A History of Social Strikes Around the World

As authoritarian politics harden in the United States, familiar channels of resistance are proving dangerously inadequate. Elections are constrained, courts are under siege, and dissent is increasingly met with repression in the streets. In this moment, questions of power — who has it, how it is exercised, and how it can be withdrawn — are no longer abstract. They are immediate and practical. Video resource here.
