Russ: women across the country -- don't deserve unnecessary attacks

Russ for Wisconsin
Robert --
This is indefensible.
This week, Governor Scott Walker signed two bills that would take millions of dollars in funding from Planned Parenthood. These bills are a clear attack on a woman's right to affordable, quality health care.
Governor Walker and Senator Ron Johnson threaten the lives of women every time they take steps to defund Planned Parenthood. In fact, Senator Johnson last year supported a 20-week abortion ban and voted again to defund Planned Parenthood.
These attacks on women's health are wrong. But they're not going to stop until Republicans like Senator Johnson and Governor Walker are out of office. Will you stand with me against these kinds of attacks and make a contribution to my campaign today?

Wisconsin women -- and women across the country -- don't deserve unnecessary attacks like these that disrupt and endanger their lives.
They deserve a government that will fight for their families' health and security. They deserve a legislature that won't repeatedly intrude into their private lives. They deserve a Senate that trusts them to make their own health care decisions.
And with your help, we can stop this truly dangerous agenda.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Russ Feingold

I am dog-tired of hearing from Donald Trump

Image
  I'll just be blunt: Tonight's our last grassroots fundraising deadline of the election, and it would make a real difference if you're able to chip in. In the next few days, we're pitching in to support Warren Democrats in competitive races across the country. It's all powered by grassroots donors, and we need to hit our last goal by midnight tonight. But we're not quite there yet. I'm only asking because it is powerfully important: If you can, please make a donation of $2 or whatever makes sense before midnight tonight — the final grassroots fundraising deadline of this election — to support Warren Democrats and help turn the page on this dark chapter in our nation's history. I'm in this fight all the way because I am dog-tired of hearing from Donald Trump and his Republican enablers. I am tired of leaders driving our country into the ground. So I've endorsed some new voices — 150 candidates around the country who believe that government can be...

Nancy: more Democratic women in the House.

Image
      Robert, I need more Democratic women in the House. Women like Staci Appel and Emily Cain who won't let the Republicans' ol' boys club continue to block all productivity in Congress. But the GOP and its allies are ramping up their spending to attack these amazing candidates and more women just like them. We need your help if we're going to win on Election Day. Rush a donation directly to their campaigns to fight back against anti-choice Republicans in the House.  We have less than a month until Election Day, and many of our most important House races are down to the wire. If we don't win these critical races, it'll be the difference between another two years of partisan gridlock in the House and a Democratic voting block that will get things done — like when we all voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. Give these women the resources they need to win. Donate to their campaigns today.  Thank you for helping our House candidates, Nancy...

Ayanna: letter to President Joe Biden

Image
  Black, Representative Cori Bush and I, in partnership with dozens of our House colleagues, recently sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to commute every single federal death sentence and abolish the death penalty once and for all. Will you add your name right now to our petition to Joe Biden calling on him to commute every federal death sentence and abolish the death penalty? Every signature will be sent to President Biden’s team, so your voice will make a difference. Add Your Name Our criminal INJUSTICE system is racist, xenophobic, rogue, and fundamentally broken.  State-sanctioned murder is not justice, and it never will be. President Biden has the power and moral authority to act: he can commute the sentences of every person who is currently sentenced to death under federal law and finally end the death penalty once and for all. Together we will make sure that no more Americans are condemned to die at the hands of our criminal injustice system. Add your name ...

Momnibus Act would take important measures to protect Black pregnant parent’s lives.

Image
  Robert, The United States has the worst mortality rate in the modern world, and Black women are three to four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy. This Black History Month, I am again reminded of how racism and sexism have continued to dominate the healthcare system. Black mothers deserve equal access to quality, anti-racist, and life saving healthcare. Will you add your name to become a citizen co-sponsor of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act? This critical legislation will save Black pregnant mother’s lives. Click here to sign on → SIGN ON Black women time and time again have not been believed when explaining their symptoms, and oftentimes only have access to low quality healthcare. This month and beyond, we must commit ourselves to ensuring that the Black community has equal access to critical infrastructure such as healthcare, and Black mothers feel heard when seeking out treatment. The Momnibus Act would take important measures to protect Black pregn...

Image
  Dear Robert, On the newest episode of “Why Am I Telling You This?,”  Stacey Abrams  joined President Clinton for a conversation about the fight to protect and expand the right to vote; how we can repair and restore faith in democratic institutions, elections, and voting; and what we can all do to achieve real, meaningful change. This conversation was recorded as part of the  13th annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative University , hosted in partnership with Howard University. This year’s class joins a network of more than 10,000 young leaders from all 50 states and 160 countries across the world who are taking action to address pressing challenges on their college campuses and in their communities. Meet seven of these students who are addressing the public health, economic, and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic with support from the Clinton Foundation’s COVID-19 Student Action Fund  here .

Millions of transgender people still face discrimination

Image
    Friend, did you see the news? One of my first actions as a Congresswoman was to display a transgender pride flag outside my office. I did so to show the trans community -- which includes friends and family of mine -- that they are seen, heard, and not erased. Today, we must recommit our efforts toward protecting the rights of transgender Americans. Dangerous misinformation has been amplified by right-wing politicians and media figures, resulting in a disturbing series of state legislative actions across the country that target the healthcare and well-being of trans youth. Last month, I was named a co-chair of the Transgender Equality Task Force, an arm of the Congressional LGTBQ+ Equality Caucus that is advocating for legislative and administrative action to ensure that the trans community is treated with dignity and respect. I look forward to using this role to continue advancing equality -- because now is not a time where we can afford silence from allies. Millions of tr...
