After The No-Kings Rally, Now What?

The Union Has Some Ideas. Protests are powerful — they remind us that we’re not alone in wanting something better for our country. But real change happens when we roll up our sleeves and do the work between the rallies.

We’re officially two weeks away from Election Day, here’s what you can do right now to help turn out voters:

⚖️ PENNSYLVANIA — Keep the State Supreme Court Fair. Vote YES!

- Call Voters with our Partners Swing Blue Alliance & MA Flip PA: Mondays & Tuesdays, various shifts

- Want to stop billionaires from influencing the election? Text voters in PA and remind them to VOTE YES: Wednesday, October 22; 5:30pm - 7:30pm EDT

🌊 NEW JERSEY — Defend Mikie Sherrill & the 80 Assembly Seats + other Local Races up and down the ballot!

- Get ahead of your weekend and make calls to NJ voters: Weekends, multiple times available

- DIY Phone Bank on Your Own: Call voters between the hours of 11:00am - 8:00pm EDT, how convenient!

🗳️ VIRGINIA — Let’s Win the Trifecta! Elect Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi, and flip the House of Delegates. MAGA is targeting the Lt. Governor’s race — a MAGA Lt. Gov would stall progress. And, keep an eye on these districts: HD-41, HD-59, HD-83, HD-98, HD-99, HD-100.

- Help Text Voters to Keep an Eye on the Attorney's General Race: Mondays and Tuesdays, 7-8pm PDT

☀️CALIFORNIA — This is our opportunity to respond to MAGA’s cave-in in Texas and Missouri by voting YES!

- Zoom phone banks with our Partner Call 4 Change: Sundays, various times

File a DOGE FOIA Request

Representative Jamie Raskin has a job for us that may actually help us all deal with the DOGE hijinx. Mail this FOIA request (as a physical copy, hand signed). It is your right as a citizen to know what data that group has pulled out of the various departments (for instance Social Security data) and who they have given it to. Plus if we swamp them with requests, that will slow them down.

Send These Postcards to your Representatives

It's important that your representatives hear from you as to the things that are important to you. This can include: Other GOP representatives in your state, Your Senators, Chuck Schumer, Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, and maybe others. The Majority Project has a great way to do it, with this handy (printable on card stock) postcard download. You can also get pre-made postcards sent to you via their website (charges apply).

I'll be updating this column frequently, so check back for more events as the year progresses.

Let's support Black-owned businesses. Check out the list here.

Proposition 50 Passes!!

The Parasite in the White House

All the while this administration has hammered at our country's sacred institutions and ruined the economy, this so-called "president' has benefitted massively through a level of grift that is only imaginable with a guy who thinks only of himself. Let's consider the following actions over the last 10 months:

- East Wing Ballroom

Grift is a hallmark of any construction enterprise managed by Trump. Gifts pour in from corporate donors hoping to get business benefits. At least $350M and probably more here.

- Gaza "Peace Deal"

Trump may make good on his idea to "relocate" the Palestinians, clearing the way to creating a real estate empire along that section of the Mediterranean coast. The massive construction effort will create opportunities for even more grift.

- Crypto Market

Here's how the Trumps utilize the presidential brand to extract even more money from those who can't afford to lose it. Crypto coins. It's only a gold rush for the big investors who get in early. Everyone else loses in this Ponzi scheme

- Inauguration Celebration

This one was good for the Trumps in 2017 and it was good this year too. It's another way to get corporate donations from businesses looking for preferential treatment.

- Tariffs and backroom dealings

This was always about grift. The country takes a hard line, but Trump is there looking for personal goodies in exchange for modifications to his tariff policy.

- Assault on Universities

Same with the attack on our university system. Universities that offer gifts may get the government off their back... for a while.

- Saudi Arabian Military Deal

Trump businesses are directly involved with the sale of exceptional weaponry to the Saudis.

In all cases, the actual numbers are not known, and that's the way the Trumps like it. But with the country turning against the GOP in general, they have to be looking at this guy as an absolute parasite that is sucking the life out of one of our two major political parties.
