🎙️Mar 2, 2026 Weekly Actions Audio – available for when you’re on the go

🔷 Civil Rights Icon Jo Ann Bland, who died on Feb 19, said it well: “Social movements are like jigsaw puzzles. Every one of us is a piece in the puzzle. If your piece is missing, the picture isn’t complete. Why? Because you’re the most important piece. So do your part.” Check below for many ways your piece of the puzzle can contribute!

🔷 Help these amazing organizers out! No Kings Kirkland March 28th is in need of volunteers before, during and after the event. If you’re planning on attending, take a look at the opportunities using access code ‘rally’ and sign up for something! Many hands make for a safe, fun, peaceful day of raising our voices to say No Kings, No Thrones, No Dictators.

🔷 We are “drumming up” support for a bucket brigade for No Kings 3 on March 28. We have six bucket drums and sticks. No experience necessary – we will use simple rhythm techniques. Drums will coordinate with our chants and music at rallies and marches. Let’s get some practice sessions scheduled now! Contact Sally E at wsallye@gmail.com.

🔷 Kansas has sent letters to more than 1,000 transgender people, saying they must immediately surrender their driver’s licenses and birth certificates if they had changed their gender on them. These documents are no longer valid driving credentials or identification until they pay for and are issued new ones that reflect their gender at birth. To assist those affected, consider donating to The LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas or the Trans Continental Pipeline.

Weekly Actions

 

✊ Action 1 – Tell Congress: Force a vote on the War Powers Resolution Act!

from Indivisible and 5calls.org

Trump has launched an unauthorized war of choice against Iran, using unilateral force within another country, much like he did in Venezuela. Trump’s handpicked Joint Chiefs chairman warned that an attack on Iran could turn into a prolonged conflict. Yet the self-branded peace president is serving the interests of the Netanyahu government by launching multiple strikes all over Iran this weekend. The president is very likely serving other interests as well, as evidenced by the fact that the negotiators he chose for “peace talks”–Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff–have few qualifications, but have received huge financial benefits from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. With the largest buildup of military forces in the Middle East since the invasion of Iraq, the situation is dire. Congress must act immediately.

The American people do not want to put the lives of US servicemembers and innocent Iranian civilians in danger and enter another endless war in the Middle East. It’s up to Congress to rein in Trump and prevent further military operations in Iran. The War Powers Resolutions Act does not require support from majority leadership to bring it to a vote.

Tell them they must act now to force a vote and stand up to Trump. Stop the US from further acts of war.

Most of our senators and representatives have issued public statements or given comments (as of Sat Feb 28) to The Seattle Times and King5 news in opposition to the strikes on Iran. Regardless of their public statements, we encourage you to call your Members of Congress to let them know you support quick action. Note: Rep Schrier called for answers from the administration, but she did not publicly mention the War Powers Resolution Act or whether she supports an immediate vote on it.

☎ Sample Script:

My name is [NAME], and I am a constituent from [CITY], Washington.

Through his actions in Iran, Trump has recklessly put our troops, Iranian civilians, and others in the region in danger. Congress has a constitutional duty to act immediately. The American people DO NOT want another endless war in the Middle East. Do not allow the Trump Administration to usurp Congress’s authority as it did with establishing tariffs. Force the vote.

We all know this is another distraction from Trump’s extensive presence in the Epstein files, and now many lives and America’s reputation are at stake. I’m counting on you to do everything in your power—and that includes supporting an immediate vote on war powers legislation—to stand up to Trump and stop further military escalation against Iran.

✊ Action 2 – Oppose Anti-Vax Influencer Casey Means for US Surgeon General

From 5calls.org

The US Surgeon General oversees the US Public Health Service, provides health advice, and is known as “the nation’s doctor.” Donald Trump’s latest US Surgeon General nominee, wellness influencer Casey Means, has a lapsed medical license and a concerning history of promoting lies about life-saving childhood immunizations.

Means has correctly expressed alarm over the troubling epidemic of chronic illnesses in the United States. However, many of her proposed remedies, from reducing childhood vaccinations to dubious supplements that she sells, ignore the root causes of poor health in pursuit of pseudoscientific “cures” that conveniently make her money.

Means is an antivax quack who belongs nowhere near the Department of Health and Human Services, particularly amid an accelerating deadly measles outbreak. The Senate must demand a competent, scientifically grounded appointee for our nation’s doctor.

☎ Sample Script: (calls may be combined with Action 1 above)

My name is [NAME], and I am a constituent from [CITY], Washington.

I’m calling to urge [SEN NAME] to oppose Casey Means’ appointment to US Surgeon General. Means is an influencer with a lapsed medical license who has promoted dangerous lies about childhood vaccines. She is wholly unfit for the Surgeon General position, and U.S. citizens deserve better.

Thank you for your time and attention.

⛅ Bright Spots

  • A federal grand jury in D.C. unanimously rejected the attempt to indict six lawmakers who told military and intelligence community members on social media not to obey unlawful orders, and the Trump administration has decided to no longer pursue the case.
  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested for misconduct in public office in relation to his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. Billionaire Hyatt Chair Thomas Pritzker stepped down over his connections to Epstein, as did Larry Summers from his academic and director positions at Harvard University.
  • In a recent poll gauging approval for a Washington state tax on those with incomes greater than $1 million, 61% in the state support it…and, surprisingly, 54% of Republicans do too. The state senate has passed bill SB 6346 to do just that; it is currently in discussions in the state house chamber.
