🔹MOC👇🏼
https://docs.google.com/.../1He3zd8rNqyB5nSX.../edit...
📚BACKGROUND
March 10, 2026:
👉🏻The Justice Department released previously withheld documents detailing a woman’s allegations against both Epstein and Trump. This comes after the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena AG Pam Bondi for a closed-door deposition under oath.
👉🏻While the committee has sought testimony from a number of individuals, including the Clintons and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, they have not taken action to depose Trump despite his repeated mentions in the files.
📱Senators/Representatives
1️⃣Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to express my deep outrage about the abuses revealed in the released Epstein files along with the DOJ’s ongoing protection of perpetrators, including Trump.
I ask that [REP/SEN NAME] demand the DOJ release all documents legally mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, call for Trump to be deposed under oath to investigate the sexual misconduct allegations detailed in the files,
👉🏻and call for the resignations of Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Todd Blanche.
Public trust has been broken. We need full disclosure of the files and public accountability to trust that justice is being served.

📚BACKGROUND
👉🏻 NIH has posted only 84 New Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) since Trump took office, down from 787 in the previous year (2024)
👉🏻 NIH has 323 forecasted opportunities that have not yet opened; many were announced in 2024 and 2025 and are still pending.
👉🏻As of late February, NIH had made ONLY roughly 800 new and competing awards, less than one-third of the usual pace for that point in the year.
📱Senators/Representatives
Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m calling from [ZIP], Alabama.
I’m asking [Senator/Representative NAME] to press OMB and NIH to release congressionally approved NIH funds and clear the grant backlog now.
👉🏻Science reports NIH has made only about 800 new and competing awards so far this year, less than one-third of the normal pace, and funding notices have collapsed from 787 to 84.
👉🏻In Alabama, NIH funding supports jobs and research at UAB, Southern Research, Auburn, and other universities. If this money keeps moving at last year’s pace, labs will have to let scientists go, stop projects, and even close.
Please demand immediate release of appropriated funds and public accountability for the delay. We’re watching this closely.

📚 Background 📚
👉🏻The United States and Israel have launched “major combat operations” in Iran, reportedly killing Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
👉🏻 Trump has again unilaterally engaged our military without the constitutionally required congressional authorization.
👉🏻Demand your representatives support the bipartisan war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s reckless use of our military.
📱Representatives
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to urge [REP] to support H. Con. Res. 38, the bipartisan war powers resolution, and stop the Trump administration from launching military strikes on Iran without congressional authorization. Congress must maintain its war powers authority and prevent a military escalation in Iran.
👉🏻We haven’t forgotten that the DOJ is hiding three interviews with a credible witness who says Trump sexually assaulted her (when she was 13! It is vile beyond comprehension). Those files need to be released, Trump needs to testify under oath, and Pam Bondi needs to be impeached immediately. We will not be distracted from this issue.
📱Senators
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I'm calling to demand [SEN] to push for justice for the Epstein victims. We haven’t forgotten that the DOJ is hiding three interviews with a credible witness who says Trump sexually assaulted her (when she was 13! It is vile beyond comprehension). Those files need to be released, Trump needs to testify under oath, and Pam Bondi needs to be impeached immediately. We will not be distracted from this issue.

![Daily Action, Tuesday, January 13th, Stop ICE’s Aggressive Attacks on Immigrants and Citizens and SECRETARY OF STATE - Protect Our Voter Registration Information
ICE is using a number of privacy-violating surveillance tools and facial recognition spyware to hack phones, monitor a person’s social media, and use databases to profile and track individuals. Federal and local law enforcement has also used Flock Safety’s license plate tracking data to surveil protestors and immigrants.
I'm calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrant communities and hold this administration accountable for their authoritarian and unlawful tactics. I ask that [REP/SEN NAME]…
demand a full investigation of ICE agents' indiscriminate use of deadly force against protesters, (and)
refuse to pass a DHS appropriations bill that fully funds ICE, (and)
call for the impeachment of Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security.
DO NOT HAND OUR VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION TO DOJ
CALL AL Secretary of State, Wes Allen
Background
“As part of their big government power grab, Donald Trump and Pam Bondi want to force states like Alabama to hand over their voter files so that the Trump administration can create a national database with sensitive personal information like driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, and party affiliation, opening the door to privacy concerns and further political retribution,”
Secretary of State Wes Allen
Hello, my name is [ ] and I live in [City]. As a [STATE]voter I object to our state bending to political pressure by entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) concerning voter registration list maintenance with the DOJ.
The MOU would require the state to, within 45 days of notification by the DOJ, update its voter rolls by removing any 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐝 ineligible voters.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r6foxcfryyzazfbajthdjo42/bafkreibycudhdwebrulyk3f355cd33xnqahsmc22x6rpcyp3q7tnztpuvy)

📱Senators/Rep Contact👇🏼
https://docs.google.com/.../1He3zd8rNqyB5nSX.../edit...
📚Background
The first opportunity for a congressional response on Trump’s bombing of Venezuelan families and threats of occupation and expanded war is coming up fast. The Senate is likely to vote on Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA)’s resolution removing our military from hostilities within or against Venezuela not authorized by Congress (S.J. Res 98) this Thursday.
1️⃣Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [ZIP].
I’m calling about the unauthorized U.S. military strikes in Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. There was no congressional approval for these acts of war.
📱Senators:
On Thursday please support resolution SJ 98 , removing our military from hostilities within or against Venezuela not authorized by Congress.
📱Representatives:
Pass a War Powers Resolution immediately to block any further unauthorized strikes or troop deployments in Venezuela; compel a full legal justification from the administration.
👉🏻VOTE TO COME THIS WEEK IN THE HOUSE ON DISCHARGE PETITION FOR CLEAN EXTENSION OF ACA TAX CREDITS
2️⃣ I’m calling to ask Rep______ to support the clean extension of the ACA premium tax credits, and oppose any bill that includes abortion or gender affirming care restrictions. Congress must act now to protect affordable health care before costs skyrocket and financially devastate millions of Americans.
👉🏻LASTLY--- KEEP REMINDING THEM:
📱Senators/Representatives:
3️⃣The House and Senate voted to release the Epstein Files, the DOJ is in violation of the law, and have admitted that only 1% of the files have been released. We expect our elected officials to demand the release of the files NOW.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r6foxcfryyzazfbajthdjo42/bafkreictqpabacb2chhyrgwfxyxwx45575ziv44nvpbggcb5dkd36vs44i)
![☎️Daily Action, Monday, December 15, Discharge PETITIONS in the House on PREMIUM TAX CREDIT
🔹As of Dec 12, 2025, several discharge petitions have been filed in the 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 to force votes on extension plans. Some are clean extensions; others bundle policy riders. We’re not done—calls matter now to push leadership toward a clean extension that protects affordability.
🔹Why we keep calling: Congressional staff tally calls by issue and report totals to their bosses. The more volume on a single, clear ask, the harder it is to ignore. Even if you’ve called already, call again!
‼️ 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚 (real stories):
👉🏻A self-employed lawn-care owner was told her monthly premium would jump from ~$250 to ~$1,400 without the credits—she can’t keep her business and pay that.
👉🏻A friend in Jasper was quoted premiums that would triple, pushing coverage out of reach.
👉🏻 A Birmingham friend in his 60s, not yet eligible for Medicare and living with type II diabetes, will lose coverage in early 2026 because he can’t afford the post-credit premium.

I’m calling, once again, to express my sheer outrage and horror at what ICE is doing to our communities, currently in Charlotte. They are acting with seeming impunity, targeting citizens and noncitizens alike, smashing windows, thrusting guns in onlookers faces, and ignoring all law and due process. Americans don’t want this and we will not tolerate it any longer. ICE needs to be reined in and held accountable for their lawlessness and brutality. I will never forget this moment in our history, and I will never forgive the lawmakers that allowed it to happen. ICE has to be stopped.
