Things You Can Do Daily
 Last updated 6/14/2025
 
Here are a few things you can do daily to take action against our ever accelerating slide toward autocracy.
 
   1. Call our senators and urge to them to keep the heat on John Thune. They must keep demanding a thorough, unbiased investigation into the manhandling and handcuffing of Sen. Alex Padilla on Thursday, June 12, for trying to ask DHS Sec. Noem a question.
 
   2. Call our senators and representative to urge to them to follow-up on Sec. of Defense Hegseth's June 12 refusal to say whether he will follow court orders. Watch the video.
 
   3. Call our senators and tell them to vote NO on S.1582 the "GENIUS" Act, a bill that purports to regulate cryptocurrency. According to 5Calls.org, this bill would fold cryptocurrencies directly into our traditional banking system. Under the GENIUS Act, in the case of a market crash, banks that become insolvent would be required to pay claims to all stablecoin owners first, and then to other bank customers. Banks would effectively use money from traditional savings and checking accounts to pay their crypto investors’ losses. Plus, this bill does nothing to curb the Trump family’s corrupt use of cryptocurrencies to accept bribes from foreign countries and investors. Trump recently launched his own cryptocurrency company with plans to sell stablecoins. The Senate is scheduled to vote on this bill on June 17.
 
   4. Call our senators and representative and tell them to demand the resignation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Sec. of Health and Human Services. On June 10, RFK Jr. removed of every member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about vaccination. He followed that by filling the ACIP with fellow anti-vaccination conspiracy theorists, further eroding public trust in immunization and endangering public health. Congress must demand Kennedy’s immediate resignation.
 
   5. Call our senators and make sure they vote NO on H.R.4, the Recissions Act. This bill would codify Trump’s claw back of $8.3 billion in previously-approved funding for foreign aid as well as $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. All House Democrats opposed this bill, with four Republicans also rejecting the measure. It passed 214-212 on June 12 and now goes to the Senate, where it is not subject to the filibuster.
